State, city and county employees free in August at DE Art Museum

The Delaware Art Museum is offering free admission to all city, state, and county employees during the month of August.

Museum officials say the move is designed to promote their exhibit, “Dream Streets: Art in Wilmington, 1970-1990.”

The exhibition plots the development of artistic trends within the Wilmington community and their relation to national creative trends during these two decades, showcasing craft and design, drawing, painting, performance art, photography, and sculpture.

Organizations such as the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, the Delaware Humanities Forum, and the Delaware Theatre Company were founded during this period, as well as commercial galleries and city-supported arts initiatives.

The free admission will be available to all State of Delaware, New Castle County, Kent County, Sussex County, and City of Wilmington employees throughout the month of August.
