The New Hanover County Arboretum in North Carolina is inviting artists to participate in the 30th annual Art in the Arboretum, scheduled for October 11 and 12. The outdoor exhibition will feature over 80 artist booths, works by young artists from Dreams and Kids Making It, and hands-on activities hosted by NHC 4-H Youth Development.
This milestone 30th edition underscores the event's enduring role as a community anchor for creative expression in the Wilmington region. By blending professional artists with youth programming and family activities, it highlights how local art shows can foster broad public engagement with visual art outside traditional museum settings.
