Rehoboth Art League
https://www.rehobothartleague.org/
Based in our historic setting and working in partnership with other organizations throughout the region, the Rehoboth Art League leads in sponsoring art exhibitions, education and other programs that inspire all community members to embrace the lifelong value of art. We envision a diverse community that values all art and artists; a place where everyone can engage in the appreciation and creation of art as well as celebrate the multi-cultural history of our region.
The Rehoboth Art League was formed in 1938 in Henlopen Acres, Delaware, as a place where artists could teach, gather, and exhibit their work. Property owners Louise Corkran and Colonel Wilbur Corkran generously donated their property to provide a home to this organization, and our organization has gone on to host such artistic legends as Jack Lewis, Howard Schroeder, Orville Peets, and Mary Mullineux. We now boast more than 1,000 members who live across the county, offer more than 150 classes each year, annually hold more than 20 solo and group exhibitions of artwork, and produce special events such as our Salons, the Annual Cottage Tour, and our Outdoor Fine Art Show—all of which brings close to 15,000 people to our wooded, 3.5+ acre campus each year. And off campus, we reach underserved communities across Southern Delaware with exhibitions and arts education opportunities to further expand our reach.
Since its founding in 1938, the Rehoboth Art League RAL has worked to provide arts experiences through our events, exhibitions, and education programs. Through our Visual Arts Outreach program, the art league is able to bring arts experiences to Sussex County’s areas that are most in need of opportunity.
Developed in response to cuts made to arts education in public schools, our Outreach program now serves hundreds of students each year. During scheduled classes, art league instructors travel all over southern Delaware to work with children, seniors, and other ‘at risk’ populations to offer free arts education. Scheduled classes allow participants a chance to create a variety of different fine art or craft projects in mediums including drawing, painting, collage, pottery, printmaking, jewelry making or textile work. Our Outreach program serves youth in afterschool and summer camp programs to instill the value of lifelong experiences in the arts. And we visit libraries and senior centers to provide stimulating lessons in a supportive environment. Community partnerships with organizations including First State Community Action Agency, Easter Seals, Boys & Girls Clubs, Salvation Army, and Sussex Consortium allow our Visual Arts Outreach program to be a success for the community.
