At Jester Artspace, we believe that creativity is for everyone. As a community-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we engage, inspire, and connect our neighbors through the arts, honoring both the heritage of this unique historic property and the creative energy of today’s artists. 

We offer a rich mix of programming from weekly classes in oil painting, watercolor, and drawing to seasonal workshops like Pysanky egg decorating and natural wreath-making. Our monthly sketch events, often featuring costumed models and communal creativity, bring people together in a joyful and supportive environment. And with the launch of our new Kids’ Art Club, young creators now have a fun, ongoing space to explore their artistic passions. 

Every workshop, every class, and every gathering strengthens our mission to make art accessible and meaningful for all. But we couldn’t have reached this point without the generosity of people like you. Participating in Do More 24 Delaware gives us the chance to expand our offerings even further — helping more people discover the confidence, joy, and connection that art brings. 

👉 Mark your calendar for March 5–6, 2026 and sign up for a reminder email to donate when the event goes live. With your support, we’ll continue to open doors, both literally and creatively, for our entire community. 
About Jester Artspace, Inc

Jester Artspace, Inc. partnered with the property owner, New Castle County, Delaware in 2015, to renovate the property. In turn, we now operate the house in a manner of direct benefit to the surrounding community. The Jester Farmhouse was deemed to be of significant historic value to the people of New Castle County. Its core stone walls were one of the few remaining modest pre-Civil War farmsteads that were once common in Northern Delaware. The house sits amid 30 acres of original farmland at 2818 Grubb Road, which is among the oldest colonial-era trade routes in the mid-Atlantic U.S.
