405 South 3rd Street
Wilmington, NC

March 16-22, 2012
opening night celebration on March 16th at 7pm
additional artist-hosted presentations throughout the week.


A full schedule is available here.   The event was designed to bring the port city a variety of talent and art mediums to one spot, from the prolific sculptor Dumay Gorham to the eclectic designer Jan Wutkowski.

The concept of a “POP UP” event is fast and furious.  In short, an available space is utilized to bring something unique to the community for a short period of time.  The energy of this event pairs well with enthusiasm of the participating artists.  The POP UP STUDIO! co-curators wanted to make local art immediate and accessible to several layers of audiences, with the premise that a combined cross-section of art will bring in an expanded group of supporters and therefore deeper artist exposure.

The goal of POP UP STUDIO! is to not only to showcase Wilmington artists and delight guests, but to give the community an opportunity to support these artists by purchasing their pieces.  Or in the case of filmmaker Dylan Patterson, who is in the post-production/editing phase of his film Anhedonia (starring T.V.’s ‘Supernatural’ actress Traci Dinwiddie),  attendees are encouraged to make a donation to this project so the film can see completion.
In addition to the artists mentioned above, POP UP STUDIO! is also excited to introduce these artists to the event::
