Every day in Delaware classrooms, students are discovering new ways to see themselves, their ideas, and their futures—all because a teaching artist showed up, you showed up, we showed up.

Delaware Institute for the Arts in Education exists to make sure creativity isn’t just another thing. It’s a core part of how students learn, communicate, and grow. Through hands-on, arts-integrated programs, we partner with schools, educators, and communities to bring teaching artists directly into classrooms across the state.

When you give to DiAE, you’re not funding a concept—you’re funding real experiences. You’re helping a student build confidence through visual art, movement, music, (and/or) storytelling. You’re supporting educators with tools that make learning more engaging and inclusive. You’re investing in classrooms where creativity opens doors for connection, curiosity, and belonging.

Your gift today places a teaching artists in a school, it expands access to arts-integrated learning, and it reach students who may not otherwise experience the arts in a meaningful way. Whether it’s a first donation or a continued commitment, every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us do more—together.

This is one of the simplest ways to make a tangible impact in Delaware education.

One gift. One classroom. Countless moments of discovery.

We achieve this by engaging all art forms with cross-disciplinary learning, connecting professional artists with students and educators, and delivering programs that foster discovery, learning beyond the classroom, and understanding of one's place in the world
