Congratulations to the 27 artists who were honored last week! #netde
Our hands hurt from clapping but it was totally worth it.
On Thursday, June 4, 27 Delaware artists became the largest Artist Fellowship class in 46 years - and then promptly reminded us why, with poetry, playwriting, a rap set, and a folk duo that nobody wanted to end.
