Support Howard Pyle Studio Group and its important mission to preserve the historic 1305 N. Franklin Street studios  and to share the legacy of Wilmington’s native son, the incomparable illustrator Howard Pyle.  The Studio Group originated in 1935 as a small group of women painting together.  Members meet weekly to paint, study art, and participate in classes and critiques.  Today, members continue to enjoy those activities and, in addition, seek to meet special art needs of the community, conduct tours of the historic property, and host the public each first Friday Wilmington Art Loop, September though May.
