Dover, Del. (May 28, 2019) – Each year, the Biggs Museum of American Art, in partnership with the Delaware Division of the Arts, exhibits the work of Delaware’s Individual Artist Fellows. The Award Winners XIX exhibition recognizes the Fellows’ combined artistic accomplishments and will be on view from June 7 to July 22.
The Award Winners reception and award ceremony will be held at the Biggs Museum of American Art, Dover on Wednesday, June 12 from 5–7 p.m.
The event will feature special performances by two of the 2019 Individual Artist Fellows. Attendees can experience the work of all 20 artists in the Award Winners exhibit in Galleries 8-17 on the second floor. The event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The first part of the reception will feature a reading by Master Fellow in Fiction, Billie Travalini, and a musical performance by Established Fellow in Folk Music, Shelley Kelly, followed by the remarks and awards presentation.
“Highlights of the exhibition include video installations of the award winning writers, examples of works by every visual arts fellowship winner and wide variety of musical exhibits,” said Curator Ryan Grover. “This cross-section of the best of Delaware today will make striking and interesting contrasts against the best of Delaware’s past.”
Each subsequent location will host a modified version of the Award Winners exhibition.
