Come celebrate our collective progress in the creative economy and spend time with the people you've met at Legislative Hall, seen on Zoom, or heard mentioned in Delaware's arts and culture news. While we prepare for the outcomes of the upcoming general election and new legislative session, we want to provide an opportunity to pause, reflect, and importantly, celebrate all that we have accomplished as a sector. You will also have the chance to be the first to view the 2026 “State of CREATE” report, highlighting local stories of progress for the arts in Delaware.  The event includes a performing artist, artwork on display, a complimentary drink ticket, and light bites.  DAA Members: Receive 4 free tickets for your organization as a token of appreciation for your membership to DAA!
