Shifting Perspectives: Art in America

Join us at The Delaware Contemporary on Thursday, November 12, from 11:00 AM–3:00 PM for an exploration of the voices, visions, and changing perspectives shaping art in America.

Through engaging conversations and an immersive experience, we’ll bring together familiar faces and new voices to consider how our understanding of art continues to evolve—and what that means for the future of art in our region and beyond!

A morning of art, exploration, and creativity! 🎨✨

We loved welcoming The Goddard School Wilmington for a visit to The Delaware Contemporary. Our young guests explored the galleries during a guided tour led by Erica Loustau, followed by a hands-on creative activity with Studio Artist 🅜🅘🅢🅒🅔🅛™️.

There’s nothing better than seeing young minds experience contemporary art, ask questions, and create something of their own. 💛
