SUMMARY:Citizen Artist
DESCRIPTION:Citizen Artist – Delaware Art Museum (Wilmington\, DE)\n\nThe Delaware Art Museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday \n\nDates: April 11 – July 19\, 2026\nPrice: Free with museum admission\nLocation: Fusco Gallery\, Delaware Art Museum\, 2301 Kentmere Pkwy\, Wilmington\, Delaware \nExplore the role of artists as community builders in Citizen Artist\, an exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum that reflects on the relationship between art\, public service\, and civic identity. Timed with the United States Semiquincentennial in 2026\, the exhibition highlights artists who worked through major federal arts programs designed to support creative workers and strengthen communities. \nBeginning with the New Deal arts initiatives of the 1930s\, the exhibition examines programs such as the Public Works of Art Project\, the Works Progress Administration\, the Farm Security Administration\, and the Treasury Section on Fine Arts. These programs employed artists who created murals\, photographs\, performances\, and educational programs that connected art to everyday American life. \nThe exhibition also explores the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) of the 1970s\, which funded job programs that many communities adapted to employ professional artists. In Delaware\, these efforts helped expand community arts programs and contributed to the development of institutions such as the Delaware Art Museum and The Delaware Contemporary. \nThrough historical works and contemporary commissions\, Citizen Artist highlights how artists have served their communities while shaping cultural life across generations. The exhibition also connects with the statewide Citizen Photographer initiative\, inviting Delaware residents to contribute photographs that reflect identity\, place\, and civic life during the nation’s 250th anniversary. \nExhibition Highlights \n\n\nArtwork connected to New Deal and CETA artist employment programs \n\n\nContemporary commissions exploring the role of artists in civic life \n\n\nCommunity participation through the Citizen Photographer initiative \n\n\nPart of Delaware’s cultural programming for the U.S. Semiquincentennial in 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n
