Rehoboth Art League, Cottage Tour, Fundraising Event, July 12 and July 13, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches
“The Rehoboth Art League: A place to bring people together to inspire, encourage, and sustain the spirit of art in the community.”
One of the first places I take my guests visiting is to the Rehoboth Art League. That’s exactly what I did when Rosalyn came from Puerto Rico. She even bought one of the art pieces, which is now in display in her house in P.R. Rehoboth Art League is an institution; founded in 1938 and a non-profit organization. Classes are offered on a year-round basis for children and adults; from beginning to advanced levels. When my children were young an art session at the League was a must.
At the present time and until July 17th the Exhibit of the 38th Annual members Fine Craft will be at the Corkran and Tubbs Galleries. For more info. you can call 302-227-8408.
From July 27th until August 26th the next exhibit will be the 73rd Member’s Fine Art Exhibit at the Corkran and Tubbs Galleries. Also a Members Showcase: Pottery at the Homestead Gallery.
On Saturday, July 23rd there will be a pottery demonstration in the Chambers Studio. Please call for time, if you are interested.
When you are visiting these exhibits please take time to tour the Homestead House and the gardens, as well. This is an 18th century farmhouse; placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is also a museum, a gallery for period and contemporary art. It has been restored to its original form.
The Homestead is a simple home, originally built in 1743.
The corner fireplaces chimneybreasts in the home are notable for their simple but good design. Each are paneled to a different pattern. Those rooms also have the original chair rails.
One of the most awaited tours at the Delaware Beaches is the cottage tour in Rehoboth Beach. This year will mark the 62nd Annual Cottage Tour to be held next Tuesday, the 12th and Wednesday, the 13th. Time: 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Homeowners in Rehoboth unselfishly make their homes available for these two days; rain or shine. Eight homes will be on display including the Homestead. It is usually a very well attended event. Local businesses and the community as a whole, sponsor and welcome this tour in Rehoboth Beach.
This is the main fundraising event for the League. Tickets are $30 and are sold at the Rehoboth Art League, on-line at http://www.rehobothartleague.org/cottagetour, Browseabout Books, Design Center of Rehoboth, Farmer Girl Exotic Gardens, Grub Grocery, J. Conn Scott Showcase, Tomato Sunshine and Windsor’s Flowers & Plants.
