About Us
When the owners of Blue Moon Gift Shops decided it was time to build yet another layer to a multifaceted shopping venue, Eclipse was launched in November of 2013. A vision of one of a kind, eclectic pieces and work produced from local and regional artisans helped create an artisan boutique. From the front counter to the floors, Eclipse captures the element of surprise with made to order pieces from their many talented artists. Collections include original paintings, custom furniture, sculpture, pottery, glass, jewelry, photography and textiles. Voted the Best Art Gallery 2014 by Encore Magazine readers, Best Art Gallery 2022 for the ninth year in a row by Wilmington Magazine readers, and the 2018 Made in Wilmington Winner in the Supporter category by Wilmington Business Journal. The wonderful support we receive, our great customers and the never-ending array of artisans and goods keeps Eclipse a favorite in Wilmington!
