Visit Delaware Arts Festival
A tremendous and heartfelt thank you to everyone who had a hand in making the Delaware Arts Festival's return a success! We are completely volunteer run, and dedicated to providing scholarships for Delaware County high school graduates who are continuing their studies in the visual arts at the university level. Congratulations to this year's scholarship winners and thank you to our sponsors, visitors/shoppers, artists, food trucks, judges, volunteers, and our community partners: DATA shuttle bus drivers, police officers, security officers, firefighters, EMT, Public Works employees, Delaware City Council, the City Manager's office, City of Delaware Special Events Committee, the Delaware County District Library for hosting the Student Art Show, and the downtown Delaware shop and restaurant owners whose customers were unable to park in front of their establishments for the two days of the festival!
