2025 “Sleek and Slender” Group Show Application

The Greater Topsail Art Association is honored to have been invited to exhibit at the Aces Gallery of the Arts Council of New Hanover for two months again this year! Please note that this is a wonderful opportunity to display a piece of your art in a gallery on Front Street in Wilmington, and it is NOT a juried show. So if your piece adheres to the specifications below, it will be displayed. We are accepting 2D art of all kinds, as well as 3D IF it conforms to the specifications below.

Since we will be responsible for the Fourth Friday ArtWalk opening night refreshments and snacks, there is a $20 fee to enter. Any leftover funds will help with our 501c3 fund-raising efforts. CLICK HERE to apply to exhibit for the show and/or also apply for membership to the GTAA.

To qualify, please keep your pieces in a vertical format – MINIMUM a 1:2 proportion (for example 10″ wide x 20″ long, 16″ wide x 40″ long, 5″ wide x 25″ long) Pieces may be as long as you wish, but no wider than 15 inches with frame (See the samples below). All 2D pieces MUST have a secure wire for hanging – absolutely no sawtooth hangers will be accepted. Please be prepared to bring two pieces November 24 or 25 (times to come) – to be hung November 26. More specifics on time will be forthcoming. Contact us at greatertopsailarts@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.

Sample shapes for 2D art – no wider than 15 inches maximum:

Again if you would like to participate but are not yet a member of the GTAA and would like to join us, please join first, then apply for the show. Similarly, if you’d like to renew your membership, you can do so on that page as well.

We can’t wait to see your art hanging in this beautiful, historic downtown venue.
