Join us for the debut of "Rockstars & Flowers V", a special new collection of paintings by our resident artist, Sebastian Correa.
Enjoy an evening of art, music, and light refreshments as you meet the artist, explore his studio, and celebrate his latest creations.
This stunning body of work promises to shine as a cohesive collection in our gallery.
We’re thrilled to introduce you to a fresh cast of rockstars, brought to life in Sebastian’s signature style—with an exciting new twist. The “V” in the title marks his fifth Rockstars & Flowers gallery show, showcasing a bold departure from his traditionally vibrant palette.
We can’t wait to share this memorable experience with you!

The story behind this show:
What began as a conversation between Sebastian Correa and The Ritualists about art concepts and ideas for the band evolved into a full new collection of paintings with each band member being featured on the cover of The Ritualists’ just released, new album, "Too Pure to Cure".
This latest installment of Rockstars & Flowers marks a departure from Sebastian’s typically colorful, large-scale works.
Also, during the opening event enjoy an acoustic performance by The Ritualists, then follow us around the block to Downtown Public House for a full live performance beginning around 8:00 PM.
Prepare for an unforgettable night of creativity, collaboration, visual art, and live music in Historic Downtown Wilson!
Limited edition vinyl albums will be available for purchase at both the art opening and the live show at Downtown Public House. Light refreshments will be provided at The Edge. Open to the public.
