The Rehoboth Art League welcomes back the Young at Art exhibition, which showcases teacher-selected artwork from Sussex County children in grades kindergarten through high school. This show celebrates the next generation of Delaware artists by providing local young creatives with support and encouragement to pursue their artistic ambitions.

Young at Art takes over the Corkran and Tubbs galleries from March 16-30 at the Rehoboth Art League. The public and participating students are welcome to celebrate the exhibition’s opening by visiting the galleries throughout the day on Saturday, March 16th.

Each year, the Rehoboth Art League awards a variety of cash and scholarship prizes to outstanding works, including the Tom Wilson Award Best in Show and the James Kenneth Derrickson Memorial scholarships. Every piece featured in the show is hand-selected by art teachers across the county, with this opportunity providing young locals with the chance to display their art in a gallery space for the first time.
