Founders Day

• Friday, September 26 @ 5:30 pm
• The Chancery Market Food Hall & Bar, Wilmington, DE

This September DiAE celebrates 43 years of proof that the arts changes lives. That’s why this fall, we’re celebrating the community that makes that possible — and inviting you to be part of it.

In classrooms across Delaware, students are discovering their voices, building confidence, and connecting to learning in powerful ways — all through the arts. Whether it’s a first encounter with live performance or a weeks-long residency with a professional artist, these moments matter. They spark something lasting.

So, join us Friday, September 26, 2025 at 5:30 p.m for our Founders Day celebration, hosted at Chancery Market (1313 N Market St., Wilmington, DE 19801).

Founders Day isn’t just an event. It’s a gathering of people who believe every child deserves access to creativity, inspiration, and self-expression — no matter their zip code. Your support helps us keep that promise, and more importantly, you’ll be helping us say “yes” to more schools, more students, more impact.

So come celebrate with us — and help shape the future of arts in education. We’ll see you there!
