PROJECTS WITH PAPER!

This Saturday, April 16 from 2-4pm, the City Art Center is hosting a Paper-Making and Origami Extravaganza! Join us to learn Japanese folding techniques with beautiful paper or get involved with a hand-made paper project! These activities are available to the public in our studio area. ($5 materials donation is suggested)

Please Join us on Friday, April 29 for a gallery talk with several of the artists displaying work in the Something Else... exhibition. This talk will coincide with a potluck, feel free to bring your favorite dish, dessert, and/or beverage to share! This should prove to be a super swell time and hopefully the start of future events centered around exchange within the community.

We will continue to accept submissions for the Regional Small Works Show in May through Thursday, April 28. Click Here for more information about entering that exhibition which will be open to the public for the duration of the Delaware Arts Festival.


In addition to the Regional Small Works Show, the CAC is proud to host a special exhibition in memory of Delaware Arts Festival Volunteer and Local Artist, Aaron Sheilds. His work will be on display and also for sale in a silent auction with proceeds benefiting the junior art exhibition annually hosted at the Delaware Library during the Arts Festival. Stay tuned for more details on this exhibiton

Drop into the CAC to see what transformations have been happening! The studios have been under construction and studio members are beginning to move in! Its starting to feel like Delaware's Creative Hub! If you have ideas for how this space could be used to serve the creative needs of the community, please share! Interested in Volunteering? Teaching? Donating? Becoming a Studio Member? Displaying your work? write to cityartcenter22@gmail.com.
