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.

Outdoor Show Artist

For 51 years the Rehoboth Art League has presented its Outdoor Fine Art and Fine Craft show, drawing thousands of visitors and art lovers each year to the league’s campus. Throughout these decades, numerous artists have showcased their artwork during the first two weekends in August.  As a result, RAL acquired many works of art from exhibiting artists that are now in the fine art collection.  Curated by Collections Committee member, Kim Grube, we bring to you selections from the Outdoor Show Artists.    

Outdoor Show artists highlighted in this showcase are:
Hazel Camp / Jack Lewis / Matthew Mack / Kirk McBride / Aina Nergaard-Nammack / Bill Patterson / Steve Rogers
Susan Steele / Tom Wilson / Robert Wright
