Welcome to Wilmington Art Association
The Wilmington Art Association is an all-volunteer organization founded over 50 years ago and dedicated to supporting the arts and artists community of the Cafe Fear Region of North Carolina. The WAA is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation as defined in the IRS Code.
The WAA provides opportunities for area visual artists to gain community recognition through shows and exhibitions. It offers a forum wherein artists, local craftsmen, and people interested in the visual arts can exchange ideas, learn from each other, and contribute to the community. It provides educational programs, demonstrations, and lectures, which will lead to better public understanding and appreciation of visual arts.
Feature Artist
Phil Meade
I have always been drawn to the coast with the waves and rocks interacting with each other.
I was very lucky to find these rocks at low tide in the early morning light. I took lots of reference photos that inspired me to do many paintings. Some turned out good, a lot of others not so much. The rocks and the sea have never gotten any easier to paint over time.
