Overview
Since 1938, the Rehoboth Art League has been the artistic anchor of Delaware’s coast. Tucked into a 3.5-acre wooded campus in Henlopen Acres, just a mile from the beach, the league blends history and creativity. Its five buildings—including the 1743 Peter Marsh Homestead and historic gardens—provide a setting for year-round exhibitions, art classes, pottery workshops, and community gatherings. With more than 1,000 members, 150 classes, and 20+ annual exhibitions, the league remains a vibrant hub for artists and art lovers of all ages.

Why It’s Worth a Stop
The league offers more than art on the walls—it’s a place to connect with Delaware’s cultural history, walk through historic gardens, and even bring home a piece of local creativity from the Member Sales Gallery. Events like the Outdoor Fine Art Show and Annual Cottage Tour make it a centerpiece of summer on the Delaware shore.
