The Rehoboth Art League is pleased to continue its Cottage Tour, now in its 76th year!
This year's event will be held from 10am to 3pm on Tuesday, July 7 and Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
The Cottage Tour Committee, a group of dedicated volunteers, has worked hard to vet and secure another very special selection of local homes that showcase the best of the area's art and design. The homes on this year's tour offer a variety of landscapes, interior and architectural designs ranging from historically significant to contemporary and sleek. Some homes have quite an evolving history, and many homeowners showcase memories, artwork, and collections in creative ways.
Homes on the 76th Annual Cottage Tour
The Cottage Tour is self-paced, and transportation on the Jolly Trolley to each location is provided by the Art League. The Tour’s ticket is a program booklet that features original artwork of each home and includes addresses, home descriptions, and driving instructions.
2026 Cottage Tour Artist
Shawn Faust is not just an artist, but a custodian of nature's beauty. With an unyielding respect and deep reverence for the natural world, he channels his lifelong fascination with perception into remarkable works of art.
Drawing from his classical training in oils, Faust embraces the rich traditions of portraiture as a symbolic homage to his subjects. Through his brushstrokes, he orchestrates a symphony of colors and textures, resulting in masterworks that seek to elevate the status and awareness of the creatures that share our planet.
Faust's artistic accomplishments have taken him around the globe, with recent participation in the esteemed 2019 Beijing International Art Biennale in China. His works have also graced the walls of the Wildlife Experience Museum in Parker, CO, the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, DE, the Biggs Museum of American Art in Dover, DE, Sage Creek Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, and the Spa Fine Art Gallery in Saratoga Springs, NY. His work is included in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Horse Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY, the National Museum of China in Beijing, China, and the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum in Washington, DC.
