In celebration of the Delaware Art Museum’s 100th anniversary, and in conjunction with 100 Works for 100 Years—a Museum-wide installation featuring one or more works from each year of the Museum’s existence—the Delaware Art Museum is thrilled to present its very first pop-up art exhibition! The exhibition, titled Art is Everywhere, will be on view statewide from July 17 through early October, 2012. Gorgeous reproductions of some of the Museum’s most treasured paintings, such as Howard Pyle’s The Mermaid, Winslow Homer’s Milking Time, and Edward Hopper’s Summertime, will be on view in 15 communities throughout the state.

Above is "Standing Out" by Edward Moran, mounted in front of the Courthouse in Old New Castle, Delaware. And looking at the Courthouse and the Art is Everywhere is Martha Gessler, who owns Cornucopia Tours in Wilmington.

A piece from every year over the last 100 years sounds very cool!  I hope you get to attend and have a blast.

They do have a fabulous collection from the past 100 years, especially Pre-Raphaelite art. Years ago, I was a member of the volunteer group that organizes a Holiday House Tour for the Museum, and took a silversmithing course there. So I AM a big FAN of the Delaware Art Museum!
