A Historical Note about Our New Location

"Whistler's Mother” was Born Near Our New Gallery
By David A. Norris

The Wilmington Gallery at Newcastle gives the WAA a fine new location in the heart of a growing Art and Antiques District. It’s fitting, then, that our home is not far from a site associated with one of the most famous paintings in world. Anna Matilda McNeill Whistler, the mother of American impressionist-era painter James McNeill Whistler, was born scarcely half a dozen blocks from our gallery. She is depicted in Whistler’s 1871 painting Arrangement in Gray and Black, which is popularly known as Whistler’s Mother.
