 Schroeder (1910-1995) is best\nknown for capturing the changing face of so
 uthern Delaware from the\n1940s to the 1990s. A commercial artist from New
  York City\, Schroeder\nwas stationed at Lewes' Fort Miles during the Seco
 nd World War. He\nfell in love with the area and made it his home for the 
 rest of his\nlife. Lewes\, and other nearby fishing villages\, became his 
 dominant\nsubject. Using such media as watercolor\, oil\, pen and ink\, ch
 arcoal\,\nand pencil\, Schroeder illustrated the region’s evolution from
  quiet\ncommercial ports to bustling vacation communities\, in the process
 \ndocumenting a vanishing way of life. As a teacher\, Schroeder traveled\n
 the Delmarva Peninsula\, offering art instruction from Smyrna to\nSeaford 
 to Salisbury. From the mid-1940s to the late-1970s\, he sold\nart supplies
 \, gifts\, and his own work at The Art Age\, his Rehoboth\nBeach shop.  F
 rom abstracts and portraits to still lives and water\nscenes\, the pieces 
 featured in this exhibition showcase the vast\nsubject matter Schroeder pa
 inted throughout his life. Many of the\npaintings depict places and people
  in and around the local area\, such\nas creations made during the Rehobot
 h Art League’s Open Sketch Group\nand woodcut prints of Lewes streets. T
 he collection also includes\ninternational landscapes from Spain and Italy
 \, images of maritime\nboats\, and unique pastel and oil portraitures.  T
 he Howard Schroeder\nMemorial Art Scholarship was initiated in 1996 with a
  two-fold\nmission: 1) to offer a scholarship to a senior at Cape Henlopen
  High\nSchool who intends to study the visual arts in college\, and 2) to\
 nhonor the memory of local\, award-winning artist – Howard Schroeder.\nI
 t was envisioned that the scholarship would help encourage the\npursuit of
  the visual arts at the post-secondary level. The\nscholarship is awarded 
 based on the recommendation of the members of\nthe Art Department at Cape 
 Henlopen. The initial scholarship\, 29 years\nago\, was $250. As the cost 
 of a college education has increased\nsignificantly\, the family of Howard
  Schroeder is now intending to\noffer the scholarship at $1\,000. Anyone i
 nterested in donating to the\nfoundation can write a check made payable to
  “The Howard Schroeder\nMemorial Art Scholarship.” Venue: Peninsula Ga
 llery.
