The Delaware Contemporary is Delaware's only contemporary art museum. Founded in 1979 as the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts (DCCA) it rebranded to its current name in 2015.[1] It is a non-collecting museum focused on work by local, regional, as well as national and international artists.
The Delaware Contemporary moved to the Riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware in 2000. The 33,000-square-foot building includes seven galleries, 26 art studios, an auditorium, a classroom, a museum shop, and administrative offices.[2] In 2008, it ceased charging admission to view the galleries to offer families more affordable cultural choices during the Great Recession.[3]
