Art continues to make a statement in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Second Saturdays of the month take a self-guided gallery tour in Downtown Rehoboth….it is an Art Walk sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach Gallery Collective: MOSAIC. This is a year round event from 6 – 9 p.m. For more information, please visit http://www.mosaicrehoboth.com.
Rehoboth Beach is one square mile, the Atlantic Ocean is the background of this coastal town. Throughout the town shops, art galleries, restaurants, bars, theater and entertainment afford the vacationers the ability to enjoy it all within walking distance. From the beach to all these amenities is awesome….plenty for the young ones to do, as well.
Baltimore Avenue is one of Rehoboth’s trendiest streets. Crawling or strolling the shops, and galleries is a daily addiction for many. Rehoboth artists are diverse and unique. One such artist is Anita Peghini-Raber. She opened her gallery at 49 Baltimore Avenue. about 3 years ago. Tel. 302-227-2888. Websites? http://www.anitapeghini-raber.com, http://www.rehobothart.com.
Anita’s joie de vivre is contagious. She is funny, friendly and a naturalist-expressionist painter. She is self tought, has worked hard….totally immersed in the communities at the Delaware Beaches. And it is paing off with accolades statewide, nationally and internationally. Congratulations!!
Anita Peghini-Raber Gallery calls home a charming cottage on Baltimore Avenue. Stop by and say hello.
Another passion of Anita is dancing. Tango dancing takes place the last Saturday of each month. A Milonga or Social Dance Party is held at the gallery. I have not been, but appaarently it is a lot of fun. Call 302-227-2888 for more information. Check this article, Tango Speaks to The Spirit, at http://www.delmarvanow.com/story/life/arts/2014/07/17/tango-lewes/12812249. That’s Anita on the photo with her husband, Paolo.
I asked Anita which a favorite painting….she pointed to the Tango Dancers….and nearby were her own Tango dancing shoes!!

Swiss Painter, Anita Peghini-Raber is considered to be a local in Rehoboth Beach. Like me, she has lived here for a long time. A local; but not a native.
For years I did not even know that she was an artist. Not only did I not know that, but I also did not know that she was self taught.
The Delaware Beaches and its artist community has embraced her wholehartedly. She will be exhibiting a Solo Show at the Warner Gallery, in the O’Brien Arts Center on Friday, April 15th at 6:45 p.m. The Exhibit is called Paint On! If you want to know more about Anita and her art, please visit www.rehobothart.com.
The Warner Gallery welcomes visitors to the O’Brien Arts Center; opened to the public in 2004. Location? St. Andrew’s School, 350 Noxontown Rd., Middletown, DE 19709.
Several exhibits are on view every year. Each exhibit opens with a reception and a gallery talk by the artist. If you want to know more about this exhibit and future ones, please visit http://www.standrews-de.org/arts/warner-gallery/index.aspx.
Have a great day…..talk to you later….
