Shira Walinsky, This Place Meant

The Delaware Contemporary is excited to announce the museum-wide opening of eight contemporary art exhibitions that invite visitors to explore themes such as environment, personal identity, and the preservation of our emotional worlds. Visitors will examine paintings, sculptures, site-specific art installations, multimedia group shows, and a deep dive into the evolution of collage. These exhibitions invite you to engage with the social and physical landscapes, expressed by artists of our region and beyond.
