Works by Barton Hatcher
Gallery space open Mon-Fri from 12-5pm through June 15th
Pieces are available at: bartonhatcherfineart.com
Growing up on his grandfather’s farm in Bladen County, North Carolina, Barton Hatcher discovered his special artistic and creative gifts early in his life. A self-taught artist and mixed media sculptor, Barton’s eclectic style is admired by many. His work has been showcased in several North Carolina galleries alongside prominent artists such as Ivey Hayes. On several occasions he has been commissioned to do customized art designs for clients to fit their individual taste and desires.
His work is in the private art collections of North Carolina residents Linda MacRae, Rick and Marilyn Davis, and Mike and Kathy Allen, as well as New Jersey residents Charlie and Liz McCluskey, to name only a few.
Barton owns and operates Gardens by Barton, a landscape design business in Wilmington, NC, where he uses his artistic talents to create customized garden designs, including building hardscapes such as arbors, trellises and garden sheds.
Before starting his own business, Barton was employed for 25 years by Cape Craftsmen of Elizabethtown, NC, where he was an art buyer and designed and built prototypes for furniture.
An avid gardener and fly fisherman, Barton draws inspiration for his artistic designs from nature itself.

Local artists and/or galleries may submit a request to participate in the quarterly rotation by filling out the “Art Exhibit Request” Form below. Artists and/or galleries chosen will display art of their choice for a 3-month period designated by the Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts (THCPA) art exhibit coordinator. If selected, applicants must be willing to sign an Artist’s Agreement.
Works of art chosen for these temporary exhibits are lent to THCPA by the artists and/or galleries; THCPA is not the purchaser for the works of art. THCPA will allow the sale of art at a 20% commission. Display of contact information for the artists or galleries, web addresses and/or QR codes may be displayed on the art labels and/or artists’ biographies at the discretion of THCPA.
· If selected, all art must be “Gallery Ready” for THCPA staff to install. Acceptable materials on the back of the artwork include metal D-rings, hooks, and wires. No sawtooth hangers are accepted.
· A tag for each work of art must be provided with the Artist’s name, title of art, medium, and size on the back of the art. This information will be used to create labels for placement on the wall by THCPA staff. An inventory list with the Artist’s name, title of art, medium, and size must be provided prior to the art exhibit.
While THCPA will provide reasonable security for such art exhibits, security is not guaranteed, and insurance is not provided to the artists and/or galleries by THCPA or the City of Wilmington.
