Burgwin-Wright House brings color to Black Friday
WILMINGTON — The Burgwin-Wright House will offer a colorful alternative to Black Friday, that big shopping day after Thanksgiving, which happens to coincide with Fourth Friday Gallery Night. The historic house museum will host an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 25 for local artist Elizabeth Darrow and her show, “Exuberant Graffiti.” On the same night, “Tales of the East” will showcase items from the museum collection that illustrate the Asian influence on the decorative arts of the 18th and 19th century.
All of the pieces in Darrow’s “Exuberant Graffiti” combine oil and collage on canvas to produce vibrant and textural abstracts. Darrow began many of these pieces by writing in cursive on the blank canvas.
