DELAWARE CENTER FOR THE CONTEMPORARY ARTS

NAMES ANNE COLEMAN AS DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

"DCCA is unique in our region.  It encourages everyone to explore contemporary art and society in new ways," says Coleman, who lived many years in downtown Wilmington.  "Contemporary art stretches the mind and helps all of us tap into our creative potential as artists and thinkers.  From changing exhibits to educational programs to artists' studios, there is always something new at DCCA.  I can't wait to work with community leaders and individuals who understand the vital role DCCA plays in Delaware, fostering new ideas and art.  What a great time to be part of the growth and revitalization of this terrific city!"
