Delaware's outstanding visual, performing, and literary artists. Curated by the

exhibition at the Biggs Museum of American Art. Guests will have the
opportunity to explore the captivating works of the fellowship recipients,
engaging with their creativity and skill across various art forms. Light food

amidst the artistic ambiance.
As the clock strikes 7:00 PM, the celebration will
transition to the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, where the festivities
will continue with captivating performances by talented performing artists and
inspiring readings by literary artists. Please note that the Biggs Museum will
close at 7:00 PM, and all guests are invited to join us at the Schwartz Center
