The Wilmington Arts Summit takes place next week with a focus on arts venues that are reopening or opening for the first time with new projects – all against the backdrop of easing COVID-related restrictions and with safety in mind.

Joining us for this week's WilmingtonBiz Talk to preview the summit was Rhonda Bellamy, executive director for The Arts Council of Wilmington/New Hanover County. She shared updates on some of those reopening venues and galleries, the return of Fourth Friday Gallery Walk later this month, progress on the Wilmington Rail Trail project and more.
