Young Country: DCCA's first satellite exhibition in Philadelphia.
The DCCA would like to thank the UArts Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery for sharing their gallery space for DCCA's first ever satellite exhibition. On Wednesday, July 6 many DCCA supporters and curious Philadelphia art patrons attended the elbow-room only opening for the exhibit. The DCCA is excited to spread the word about the fantastic contemporary art on view at the DCCA in Wilmington, Delaware through collaborations like this. Young Country is curated by DCCA Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Art Maiza Hixson; the exhibition has traveled from its first showing at the Quonset Hut in Louisville, KY. This exhibition is devoted to rural themes in contemporary American art and examines how artists are re-defining ideas of "country" in America. Learn more.

ALTERNATIVES SHOP
New Monsters have arrived!
Each Cotton Monster is a little (or big) work of art made from recycled clothing and linens without a pattern, so no two are ever exactly alike. Fiber artist Jennifer Strunge of Cotton Monster (Baltimore, MD) attempts to make each cotton monster as different as possible, carefully picking the materials that go into making each one and intuitively sewing all their parts. Many monsters have already found new adoptive homes! Visit the DCCA Alternatives Museum Shop and adopt your monster today!

Summer 2011 Visual Arts Residency Program
Movable Feast
Movable Feast is a public art project developed by artists Hoyun Son & Jung-A Woo, that maps a diverse cultural landscape through food.
 | |
Hoyun Son works with a student from the
Latin American Community Center.
|
The artists are working with youth from the Latin American Community Center (LACC), and the Delaware Center for Horticulture. They will research and gather local edible weeds; collect, map, and illustrate recipes from family, friends, and neighbors; plan and design a Feast Event; and cook and share food with the public in and around a mobile kitchen built by the community. During the process, Movable Feast activities will be documented by the participants on their collaborative website. Visit the movable feast website. A final reception for the residency project will be held at the DCCA on Friday, August 5 during the Art on the Town opening from 5 - 9 pm.
