Celebrate Delaware’s creative community in The People’s Gallery, a special exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum that invites residents across the state to share their artwork with the public. Created as part of the Delaware250 celebration, the exhibition welcomes up to 600 Delaware residents and DelArt members to submit one piece of art for display in the museum.

Unlike traditional juried exhibitions, The People’s Gallery offers an open opportunity for artists of all experience levels to showcase their work. Every submitted piece will be exhibited in the museum’s gallery space, highlighting the wide range of artistic voices found throughout Delaware communities.

Artwork featured in the exhibition will also be available for purchase through Market at DelArt during the show’s run, giving visitors the chance to support local artists directly. Registration for participating artists opens online on July 5, 2026, with submissions accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
