The Rehoboth Art League has partnered with the City of Rehoboth Beach to present “Beach Blowout,” a new exhibition currently on display at Rehoboth Beach City Hall. The juror of this exhibition was acclaimed Delaware artist, and Rehoboth Art League member, Rebecca Raubacher, who recently had a retrospective exhibition of her work at the Rehoboth Art League. Raubacher selected eleven works from over sixty submissions with themes ranging from both the natural beauty of our local beaches and landscapes to the excitement of the boardwalk. The opening reception will take place on Friday, July 6, from 5-7 p.m. at City Hall, located at 229 Rehoboth Avenue, in Rehoboth Beach. This exhibition runs through December 30, 2018. All the works in this exhibition are available for sale.

In addition to this exhibition, the Coastal Camera Club and Rehoboth Elementary 5th graders SNAP Rehoboth photography will be on display.

The purpose of the club is to encourage and promote member interest in all phases of photography and to encourage active participation in the education of fellow members through the sharing of skills and experiences. The group holds contests and present awards, as well as promote the photographic effort of its members through local exhibitions and displays. “We are proud to display art from these talented artists that are breathing new life and color into City Hall,” stated Mayor Paul Kuhns. “Our partnership with Rehoboth Art League, Coastal Camera Club and Rehoboth Elementary continue to allow for the increased recognition of our local art community.” For more information, please contact the Communications Department at 302-227-6181 ext. 522 or [email protected].
