Reviews
"Great rental prices on their dance studios. You may have to clean the floors before you use them. Previous renters seem to be slobs and can't sweep or pick up food. Other than that it's fantastic!"
"This historic 1940s building houses a very interesting exhibit about the USO in Wilmington during WWII. We enjoyed reading the info, looking at the artifacts, and walking around in the building to get a feel for those days when the building hosted activities for a huge amount of soldiers and war workers. The exhibit is free (there is a tip jar). Some of the exhibits may not be available at all times as they are in classrooms. The building and exhibit is definitely worth a visit if you're interested in WWII history and local Wilmington history."
"Visited the 40th annual juried spring art show and sale going on until April 10th, 2022. Really great exhibit and it's free! Lots of great artists and bargains! Good event to get a taste of Wilmington."
"I attend an improve class here and the space is great! The room used has plenty of space and mirrors that help then class flow well. I have also attended the Coffee Festival here this year (2020) and it was a blast. The space allowed for many vendors to fit. I know they do all kinds of events and classes here! Great local place downtown Wilmington!"
"Free Movement had the pleasure of hosting a conference here this weekend. It's a cozy building capable of holding several different activities in different rooms. Street parking can be found both metered or not depending on what else is happening that day."
