Arts Connect-Ed features the young talent of students in Delaware schools. The exhibition consists of four month-long installations, each featuring the artwork of a different school in the state of Delaware. Arts Connect-Ed reflects the quality and diversity of art education in Delaware schools. In addition to the four school installations, Arts Connect-Ed will also feature Sewell’s Studio, an interactive creativity center, providing young museum visitors the opportunity to create works of art similar to those currently on display. The Biggs Museum is honored to foster this commitment to learning and community. Delaware Schools showcasing in Arts Connect-Ed include, Holy Cross Elementary, Campus Community School, William Henry Middle School and Ursuline Academy.
