51st Annual Outdoor Fine Art & Fine Craft Show

The Rehoboth Art League’s signature summer event, the Outdoor Show, returns to our historic Henlopen Acres campus in 2024 to celebrate its 51st year. More than 100 artists and artisans from around the country will display and sell their fine art and fine crafts amidst the Rehoboth Art League’s 3.5+ acre wooded campus, just blocks from the busy downtown Rehoboth Avenue in coastal Delaware.

Textile Work by Anne Bellas
May 10, 2024 – June 9, 2024

Corkran Gallery

Anne is a self-taught art quilter who lives in Nantes, France.  Her art is mostly abstract, sometimes hinting at landscapes but never really representational. She mostly pieces and machine quilts, using fabrics inherited from her great grandmother’s dowry- white cotton and linen sheets and tablecloths that she dyes and prints. 

Saturday, May 18, 2024 10am - 5pm

Oil Paintings by Michael McSorley
May 10, 2024 – June 9, 2024

Ventures Gallery

My paintings are a continuation of my childhood fascination with the visual world. At the age of 8, I was taking photos with an old film camera. My pictures of bicycle wheels, sewage pumps and other inane objects vexed my parents but predicted my future creative production. I developed a sensitivity for the mundane.

Oil Paintings by Stephen Estrada

Tubbs Gallery

Our connection to the sea goes back beyond time. Its moods and rhythms affect our daily lives. For me the ocean has always been a source of solace, mystery and adventure. For many years I have volunteered rebuilding in communities affected by hurricanes that have come ashore in Florida, New Orleans and Puerto Rico. I have intimate knowledge of the ocean’s beauty and its awesome power.

Sitting Pretty
May 10, 2024 – July 14, 2024

DeWitt Gallery 

“The most prominent feature of a portrait is the person who sits for the artist creating the work. The same can be said for an object that serves to inspire a piece of sculpture. Here you will find a unique ensemble of works from the Rehoboth Art League’s Collection that illustrate the notion of Sitting Pretty, whether whimsical or serious, abstract or representational.”

Self-Taught
May 10, 2024 – July 14, 2024

Homestead

This show exhibits some of the artworks by Artists in the Rehoboth Art League’s collection that are considered “self-taught.” While some may have taken some art classes at RAL, a majority have never attended a formal art school and began creating art out of an internal desire to express themselves.

Tuesday, July 9 and Wednesday, July 10, 2024 10 am - 3pm

The Cottage Tour Committee, a group of hard-working volunteers, has worked hard to vet and secure another very special selection of local homes that showcase the best of the area's art and design. The homes on this year's tour offer a variety of landscapes, interior and architectural designs, ranging from historically significant to contemporary and sleek. Some homes have quite an evolving history and many homeowners showcase memories, artwork, and collections in creative ways.  Tickets are now available!
