REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – On Saturday March 14, 2020 the Rehoboth Art League will host the works of over 250 young artists. Students from 28 public and private schools in Sussex County will gather for the opening of the 24th Annual “Young at Art” exhibit on the historic Henlopen Acres campus of the Art League. This year’s exhibit will be on view in the galleries from March 14 through March 29, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 14 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, with award presentations at 11:00 am.
The exhibition will feature teacher-selected artwork created by students in elementary, middle and high schools in Sussex County. Each art teacher has selected the best student works to represent the school, which will be judged with ribbons, cash awards, and scholarships. In addition to a Best in Show Award and Awards of Excellence Prizes for elementary, middle, and high school students, the Delaware College of Art and Design will award two college scholarships and two pre-college scholarships. Furthermore, six promising young middle school artists will receive a Picasso O’Keeffe Scholarship to be used towards art supplies or classes.
This exhibition, which is free and open to the public, is being underwritten by PNC Bank and is sponsored by the Village Improvement Association, The Howard Pyle Studio Group, and Sweet Disposition. The Rehoboth Art League is supported, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com.
