ART IS AN ESCAPE! 

Whether personal or societal, physical or mental; the act of escape suggests the crossing of a boundary from one environment into another. In our upcoming FALL 2023 season, The Delaware Contemporary will present artwork and installations that investigate the landscapes we cross to escape. How do we rationalize our escapes within the context of our realities? Our desire for escape can be a daily practice, a prolonged undertaking, or even a forever alteration to our lives. Regardless of the motivation, escape can offer a release and provide us with relief and joy.

Funds raised during Do More 24 will support The Delaware Contemporary's innovative exhibitions and programming initiatives. Our fall season of ESCAPE will feature a unique "escape room" to engage our audiences in an immersive experience.

Increase your impact! Thanks to the Delaware Division of the Arts (DDOA), we will be eligible for the DDOA stretch pool to receive additional funds on a proportionate basis.

First Friday Art Loop at THE DELAWARE CONTEMPORARY!
DO MORE 24 ends at 6 PM during March Art Loop. Join us for a toast to celebrate!

About The Delaware Contemporary

The Delaware Contemporary is our state’s premier contemporary art museum. Founded in 1979 by artists, The Delaware Contemporary presents exhibitions of regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists that explore topical issues in contemporary art and society. 

Our effort to strengthen the museum’s programs and footprint in our community is rooted in two key things: expanding opportunities for artists at all levels of their careers and bringing together artists with viewers to dialogue on important shared issues. 

The Delaware Contemporary houses 7 galleries, 26 artist studios, a gallery shop, an auditorium, and a classroom. Located on the popular Riverfront Wilmington, surrounded by restaurants and attractions for all ages, the museum presents over 24 exhibitions annually of regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized artists.
