From the artists

Barbara Bear Jamison
Barbara is a 4th generation Wilmingtonian and her award-winning works reflect her love of the coastal region where she’s lived and traveled. The scenes include people, boats and nature saturated with the beautiful light and color of the areas she paints. You can find her work at City Art Gallery, Greenville, NC; Verrazano Gallery, Wilmington, NC; at her studio in ArtWorks, 200 Willard St, Wilmington, NC and on her website at www.barbarabearjamison.com.

Cathy Poulos
My art is inspired by the world around me, painting nature and wildlife, as well as people living their daily lives or celebrating special events. Many of my paintings have a coastal theme – on the water or beach, where I spend much of my time. I enjoy moving between oil, acrylic and watercolor to experience a variety of textures and colors in my paintings. You can see my art in local galleries and art shows or on my website. I do a steady stream of commissions as well.

Life is too short to not appreciate the beauty around us and art is my language to express my vision of what intrigues me! It gives me great pleasure to bring joy to others through my art.

Join us in celebrating the launch of Kathryn Brewer's first book!

Not Your Mother’s Mystic is a raw, fearless memoir of unexpected spiritual awakening in the middle of a seemingly ordinary life.

Kathryn Brewer had done everything “right”—career, kids, mortgage. She wasn’t seeking transformation, but it found her anyway. A single visitation dream cracked her open, and from that fracture, spirit poured in. This wasn’t a peaceful evolution—it was a full-blown spiritual ambush. With brutal honesty and defiant humor, Kathryn shares how unraveling led to rebirth—as an evidential medium. Her compass? Radical delusion—the gutsy choice to believe in herself, even when it felt crazy. This book is for the misfits, magic-makers, and anyone ready to reclaim their power, trust their gut, and become unapologetically themselves.

Did you once have an iPod with 30,000 songs on it? Do you listen to the radio with the windows down on the reg? Did you listen to vinyl before it was cool? Then Music Bingo is for you!

Swing by Ponysaurus Brewing Co. in downtown Wilmington every Tuesday at 7pm for Music Bingo with Geeks Who Drink to win beer-shaped prizes!

How it works: Just like regular bingo, players will aim to win prizes by completing specific patterns on their bingo boards. Unlike regular bingo, we’ve swapped out the boring numbers for epic songs from all genres and eras for you to jam out to and sing along with your friends. It’s exactly the kind of laid-back fun that’s perfect for groups of any size.

🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
PLUS $10 one-topping pizzas every Tuesday!

Starting May 15th the Wednesday market moves from the top lawn to the lower grounds with room to spread out and enjoy the shade of the Ancient Oaks of Poplar Grove. Come meet your butcher, your baker, your artisan maker, shop small and local and show your support for your neighbors! While you're visiting the market you'll be a short hop to the new Shops at Poplar Grove, home to Grumpy Grandpa's Coffee, A Sink Full of Flowers and the new PG Mercantile. Plan a whole morning to peruse the grounds at no charge and explore this 300 year old historic, 13 acre former peanut plantation. Get your history on by taking a guided Manor House tour ($15 per person for guided tours). Queen Esther's Teas will be moving into the lower floor of the manor so make sure you stop in for a cup! Due to overwhelming development on all sides The Stables (home of the PG rescue animals) will remain closed to the public until further notice as we work to ensure the safety and happiness of our four legged, furry and feathered friends.
