Wilmington, DE – E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont) generously fulfilled their $1 million dollar pledge made to the Delaware Art Museum late last year. This gift, which honors the Delaware-based company’s priorities and corporate giving philosophy to invest in its communities, underwrites the Museum’s Free Sundays program.
As funding for the arts diminish, DuPont’s investment in the Museum’s strategic vision to be a welcoming and inclusive hub, emphasizes the company’s commitment to our region by making art accessible to a diverse range of audiences. The community is invited to partake in “Free Sundays Presented by DuPont.” The Delaware Art Museum is also free on Thursday evenings between 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm thanks to the support of generous individuals.

For over 100 years, the Delaware Art Museum has served as a primary arts and cultural institution in the state. It is alive with experiences, discoveries, and activities to connect people with art and with each other through the visual and the performing arts. Originally created in 1912 to honor the renowned illustrator and Wilmington-native, Howard Pyle, the Museum’s collection has grown to over 12,000 works of art in our building and sculpture garden. Also recognized for British Pre-Raphaelite art, the Museum is home to the largest and most significant Pre-Raphaelite collection outside of the United Kingdom.
