With great excitement, we welcome you to The Delaware Contemporary Museum (TDC) for our new exhibition series, “DESIGN.” During this season, running from September 6th through December 29, we invite you to explore a presentation that explores the rich intersections of art and design.
DESIGN features eight dynamic multidisciplinary exhibitions, showcasing over 40 works by 17 contemporary artists.
From painting and sculpture to lightwork and three-dimensional visuals, this series is a reflection of how contemporary art and design converge to reveal fresh perspectives on aesthetics, functionality, and meaning. We encourage you to immerse yourself in these innovative works and reflect on how design influences our perceptions and experiences in subtle and transformative ways.

Calida Rawles, Platform Gallery
This season’s Platform Gallery installation, the eighth in the public project series, features three recently completed works by internationally recognized painter Calida Garcia Rawles that constellate her signature motifs. Born in Wilmington and based in Los Angeles, this is the artist’s first-ever exhibition in her hometown. Wilmington looms large in Rawles’ origin story. Known for poetic, ethereal renderings of Black figures suspended in water, the artist uses bodily gesture and soft yet vibrant colors to counter the ways in which Black subjects are rarely afforded innocence, rest, vulnerability, and leisure. Often dressed in solid-colored garments that fold and billow in response to water’s force and movement, her figures flourish in imperceptible moments of submersion and release.
