AWARD WINNERS XXV

Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellows

MAY 15 – SEPTEMBER 14, 2025

The Biggs Museum of American Art is proud to present Award Winners XXV, a group exhibition celebrating the recipients of the 2025 Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellowships. These prestigious awards recognize Delaware-based artists for their exceptional creative work and contribution to the state’s vibrant cultural landscape.

This year, 191 artists submitted work in a variety of disciplines including choreography, music, literature, folk arts, media, and visual arts. Through a competitive review process conducted by out-of-state arts professionals, twenty-one artists were selected for fellowships in the following categories: one Master, eleven Established, and nine Emerging artists. An additional thirteen artists were recognized as runners-up. The awardees represent communities across Delaware—from Bear and Lewes to Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach.

Award Winners XXV offers a compelling glimpse into the diverse talent and innovative spirit of Delaware’s arts community. Visitors will encounter an array of artistic expressions that reflect the breadth of creativity fostered through the state’s Individual Artist Fellowship program. In addition to this exhibition at the Biggs Museum, the show will travel to CAMP Rehoboth and Cab Calloway School of the Arts, broadening public access to these important works.
