Community Involvement

Autumn Hall draws its inspiration from the local traditions and heritage of the Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach area, so it's especially important to us that we give back to the community. Below are some of the organizations and programs that Autumn Hall supports for the benefit of our fellow citizens. We encourage you to learn more and join us in our contributions.

• Autumn Hall and Creative Wilmington Partner for Pedestrian Art
  Autumn Hall will serve as Wilmington's newest public art venue. A three year contract with Creative Wilmington calls for three sculptures to be exhibited simultaneously, with new sculptures installed annually. The nine selected works will represent artists from the greater Wilmington area, and will be exhibited in Shannon Garden, an English-style park with a formal plan.
