The Rehoboth Art League is one of only a few actively collecting art institutions in Delaware.  The collection contains over 1000 items, which include works of art in various media; colonial furniture; artifacts and decorative art collected by the Corkran’s when they resided in the Homestead, as well as an array of RAL’s organizational archives.  The collection maintains a focus on mid-20th century works of art created by notable artists such as Ethel P.B. Leach, William Leach, Orville Peets, Jack Lewis, Howard Pyle, Edward Grant and Howard Schroeder, to name a few.  As part of our exhibition season, we are excited to share many of these works, some which have never been seen, to the public with these special “themed” showcases curated by members of the Collections Committee.

Doors of Fame

No tangible object more vividly traces the history of the arts in the Rehoboth Beach community than the Doors of Fame and in the tradition of signing them at the Rehoboth Art League.  For over 85 years, these doors have been a valuable historical resource. The more than 285 signers are recognized as part of the pantheon of artists, creative people, local townspeople, notable citizens closely identified with the League, the mid-Atlantic region and the state of Delaware. The Doors of Fame stand as a lasting legacy of the history of the Rehoboth Art League.  The three Doors of Fame are on display in the Homestead now through October 31.
