Acme Art Inc — Attraction in Wilmington

Very disappointed in the owner’s lack of consideration for the locals who live in, work in and give back to the local community. The owner senselessly and wrongfully had me towed from their parking lot even though I had a parking pass in my car from a local business that leases spots out of their lot. I have been told that this has happened to others before me. I made the mistake of parking in their empty lot for a short 40 minutes, with a parking pass. I ran in for a short lunch before heading out to a local non-profit to give my time for the rest of the day. I am aware that the parking lot states that it is for patrons of the Art Studio and Goat and Compass only but considering I was a patron of Goat and Compass (who leases spots in their lot) the night before and was going to be parton that night as well, I had not thought much of it. My car was towed in that short 40 minutes, after shelling out $200 dollars I was able to get my car back. I was unable to give back my time to the community that day as well as $200 dollars I would have spent locally in the Brooklyn Arts District.

Many of them simply parked on the wrong side of the lot when they thought they were parking in the leased spots for the hair salons that are...

While they have scheduled events each week and month, I called for an appointment to tour the studio. Very pleasantly surprised at the depth and breadth of the talent that work out of there. There are folks there that specialize in, brass sculptures, oil and watercolors, an illustrator, metal art and more. Quite an eclectic and engaging mix of artists. Spoke briefly with a few of the ones at work at the time and they were all interesting and pleasant. Many do give lessons to the public. It is a large studio with probably a dozen different artists there. My daughter and I had visited the Cameron Art Museum the day before which was nice, but I saw many more eye catching works of inspiration here at the studios. If you are into art - give them a call and set up a visit. It will be well...
