Delaware College of Art & Design

The Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) in Wilmington received a grant to help present an exhibition this fall.

 

The $2,100 grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts will be used specifically to support the animation-focused exhibition “Still Moving” and programming offered in conjunction with the show.

“It’s sort of a showcase of the artists, animators and educators who represent a cross-section of contemporary animation.” said Tad Sare, the area coordinator for animation at DCAD.

 

Sare notes the ehibition with feature four artists.

 

“We will be exhibiting the work of Will Kim, who is an incredible experimental animator and watercolorist from Los Angeles," said Sare. "And Tina Nawrocki, [who] is a traditional animator, based in Toronto. And she creates hand-drawn assets for video games.”

 

 

Sare says “Still Moving” will also feature Tiny Inventions, the award-winning stop motion animation team of Max Porter and Ru Kuwahata, both from Rhode Island, as well as Baltimore-based animation and design studio Franc, which creates content and materials for internationally recognized business and brands.

 

 

The exhibition will be at DCAD’s Toni and Stuart B. Young Gallery in Wilmington October 4 through November 7.  It will open and close with Art Loop Wilmington receptions on those dates.

 

DCAD will offer workshops and activities open to the Wilmington community during the exhibition. Will Kim will instruct a life drawing and watercolor workshop in conjunction with Adventure Aquarium’s Center for Aquatic Sciences on Oct. 5, and Tina Nawrocki will host a Halloween-themed character design workshop on Oct. 12.
