The Rehoboth Art League (RAL) was
founded in 1938 by Louise Chambers Corkran to encourage interest
and participation in cultural and artistic activities.
In 1978, the Homestead property and building adjacent to the
League grounds were acquired. The Homestead, constructed in 1743
by Peter Marsh, became the home of Colonel and Mrs. Corkran in
the thirties, and is on the National Register of Historic
Places. It is one of the oldest houses in Rehoboth Beach and has
been restored to provide additional gallery space.
To celebrate our 70th Anniversary the Rehoboth Art League has
opened its archives of photographs and placed a few of them in
this catalog. We hope you enjoy taking a look back at our
history, as well as the artwork of our current
instructors placed throughout the catalog.
This year’s program includes exhibits, lectures, classes and
workshops.
Located on three-and-a-half acres in one of the most beautiful
sections of Rehoboth Beach, the RAL has excellent exhibition and
studio space. RAL holds a permanent collection of works of art
and reaches out into the community to teach art.
The RAL is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. It is
supported by membership dues, contributions, fundraising events,
gifts, investments, and grants, including funds from the
Delaware Division of the Arts, the Sussex County Council, and
the Delaware Humanities Forum. Your support, in addition to
membership dues and tuition, is welcome. |
