Shop Local ~ Support Your Neighborhood Businesses

The current economic situation affects us all. I just wanted to take a moment to stress that locally owned and operated businesses are the cornerstone of our communities. We are your neighbors and friends. Whenever possible, I encourage you to consider shopping with the small businesses here in Wilmington. Keep your dollars in your community, whenever possible.


Yes, I know Walmart has a big selection and low prices. The department stores offer some great deals too. But if you are reading this newsletter, you've already expressed an interest in creative living. Spectrum Gallery is more than a business, it is a community of artists. More than 100 people draw some portion of their living from our efforts. We support the creative and financial dreams of our artists, our team, our friends and clients.

We are grateful for your continued support and patronage. I am dedicated to thinking outside the box and I believe in mutally rewarding and beneficial relationships with my customers and fellow business owners. If there is anything you feel we need to do to improve or refine our offerings, please let me know.

I plan to be here for the long haul and to do that I need your support. If you aren't looking for anything at this time, refer a friend. Thank you!
Warmest regards,

Star
