Trip to Art Museum in Raleigh
A spring tour to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh is planned for Tuesday March 29, 2016. At that time, the museum will be having a special exhibition - American Impressionist: Childe Hassam and the Isles of Shoals.
The cost will be $35, which includes lunch in the Museum restaurant, tickets for two special exhibitions and a docent-led tour of the Childe Hassam exhibition.
The second special show is Marks of Genius: 100 Extraordinary Drawings from the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Transportation will be carpooling with other WAA members. (If you are willing, let Ann Lees know that you are able to drive and can take others.)
Our group will be limited to thirty, as each docent tour is for fifteen people. So we will need about seven or eight drivers, depending on the size of the vehicle. From Wilmington to NCMA is about 135 miles.
Lunch is arranged for 11:30am, and the tours of the Childe Hassam exhibition at 1pm. This traveling exhibition promises to be enthralling! Both before and after lunch, we shall wander the Marks of Genius show and marvel at the NCMA permanent holdings, their amazing collection of Rodin sculpture, European Renaissance to 19C paintings, American art of the 18thC to the 20thC, African, Pre-Colombian, and Jewish ceremonial objects.
Please register as soon as possible at www.wilmington-art.org or by mailing a $35 check made out to Wilmington Art Association to Ann Lees, 624 Woodland Forest Court, Wilmington, NC 28403.

Meet and Greet on March 2!
On March 2 from 6 - 8 pm we will have a social gathering at the Arboretum for all members of the WAA. It is a wonderful time to get to know each other better, and it is especially helpful for the newer members who have questions and want to learn about all that we do.
