A NEW YEAR. A NEW STEP. A PLACE TO BEGIN, Brandywine Art Lounge invites artists to begin 2027 by bringing their artwork into a gallery and sharing it with the public. Start with the New Year is an invitation to take a new step in your creative practice. It can be a new idea, a new direction, a new beginning, or simply the decision to move your work beyond the studio and share it with others. We believe that seeing your artwork in a real space can give you a new way to experience your own work. Step away from the sketchbook and worktable. Give your work space. Let it be seen. See it from a new point of view.
