SUMMARY:Biggs Shot 2009
DESCRIPTION:MARCH 4\, 2009 – JUNE 28\, 2009 \nBiggs Shot 2009 is the second juried photography competition and exhibition featuring the work of new and emerging photographers\, working and/or living in the Mid-Atlantic region. The inaugural Biggs Shot competition in 2005 attracted over 130 applicants within the region. Sally Packard and Dinah Reath\, owner of the Packard Reath Gallery\, Ryan Grover\, Biggs Museum Curator\, and Catherine Ware\, Curator of Photographs from the Philadelphia Museum of Art selected 40 photographs\, which were exhibited at the Biggs Museum November 2008 through February 2006.

Perloff selected 80 photographs to be displayed in the Biggs Shot 2009 Exhibition held this spring. The Biggs Shot 2009 Exhibition offers visitors a wide range of local photographers’ works and their perspectives: a glimpse of the creativity and innovation occurring in our region by photographers of all skill levels.

SUMMARY:Forgotten Dreams:The Paintings of Edward Grant
DESCRIPTION:November 5\, 2008 – February 22\, 2009 \nThe first retrospective of this artist’s work and his incredibly long and distinguished life within the region\, both as a prolific painter as well as a successful graphic artist for one of Wilmington’s best-known companies. Edward Grant’s artistic career spanned an astounding seven decades. While so many of his contemporaries moved to the ideal rural setting of the Delmarva Peninsula\, Grant grew up\, was trained\, and practiced his craft within the region. His dedication to the development of the local art scene gave him\, in our opinion\, a unique perspective on the spaces\, customs\, and values he observed throughout his entire life. His earliest works exhibit the social realism of the late 20s and 30s\, while his war-period works experimented with the contemporary trends of Cubism and Abstraction. He also was a successful graphic artist for one of Wilmington’s best-known and most successful companies\, as well as a prolific painter. His later works\, after 1968\, are among his most highly regarded for their distinctive interpretations of life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Grant’s artistic associations throughout the Delmarva Peninsula were extremely wide; he learned from some of Delaware’s greatest artists\, was active in nearly every major arts organization within the state before 1970\, was at the center of the Delaware arts communities\, and was a life-long art instructor to hundreds of students. Forgotten Dreams will encompass an exhibition of works from the Biggs Museum\, the artist’s own collection\, and private collections throughout the region\, accompanied by the first-ever retrospective publication of this important Delaware artist\, which will review Grant’s large body of work in relation to his biography and significant historic moments that impacted the populations of the Delmarva Peninsula.

SUMMARY:On a Smaller Scale: Dollhouses
DESCRIPTION:NOVEMBER 5\, 2008 – FEBRUARY 22\, 2009 \nOpen November 5\, 2008 – February 22\, 2009 \nOn a Smaller Scale features the recent acquisition of three exceptional dollhouses from the now closed Delaware Toy and Miniature Museum (DTMM)\, created by Dover resident\, Barbara Merrell. These homes were commended by DTMM for their high degree of naturalistic detail within the incredibly small scale of one-half inch to one foot. Ms. Merrell’s homes are half the size of the industry standard for most doll houses at one inch to a foot but Ms. Merrell’s works are literally half the size. In addition\, nearly every object furnishing these mini homes: the furniture\, the textiles\, the household items\, were all made from Ms. Merrell’s hands.

SUMMARY:Greetings from Delaware
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 20\, 2008 – OCTOBER 19\, 2008 \nGreetings from Delaware and Other Artist Communities\, features over 250 hand-made greeting cards\, the majority of the Jann Haynes Gilmore and B. Joyce Puckett collection\, by both regional and national professional artists. The exhibition will be filled with artful greetings manufactured and sent by artists such as\, Rockwell Kent\, N.C. Wyeth\, Blanche Lazell\, Ethel Leach\, Frank Schoonover and John Sloan. The display of these cards will be highlighted by many full-scale paintings and fine-art prints by several of the featured artists. \nAs objects designed and often printed by professional artists\, the cards of this collection display poignant and timeless visual messages through expert craftsmanship. At the same time\, these artist-generated cards from Delaware\, the mid-Atlantic region and throughout the country offered their admirers a unique view into little-known regions of the American art scene of the first half of the twentieth century. In a period full of changing social values and economic hardships\, the cards of the Gilmore/Puckett collection demonstrate the versatility and perseverance of American artists under tremendous adversity. Perhaps more importantly\, these images supplied novel interpretations of universally cherished notions of community\, family\, beauty\, and hope at a time when Americans often needed them most\, during the holidays.

SUMMARY:From Four Studios: First State Modernism
DESCRIPTION:SEPTEMBER 20\, 2008 – OCTOBER 19\, 2008 \nFrom Four Studios: First State Modernism is the first major exhibition of the State’s Modernist art collection. The show presents key examples of works by four seminal figures in early 20th – century painting of Delaware: Jack Lewis (b. 1912)\, Howard Schroeder (1910-1995)\, Orville Peets (1881-1968) and Ethel Peets (1886-1978). Over the last ten years\, the private studio collections and an assortment of personal possessions of these four professional artists have been gifted to the State’s collection. Each of these artists was professionally trained painters and art instructors in Delaware during the adventurous introduction of European Modernism into the American art scene.  The extensive holdings of each of the four collections include large caches of the artists’ works\, works by their artistic contemporaries\, art supplies and studio tools\, as well as extensive archival materials on the artists’ careers and lives. \nThe exhibition introduces the work of these four artists\, as represented by the State’s extensive collections\, within the historical context of the introduction of European Modernism. These artists’ careers are presented in light of the direct influence of the new ideas of Cubism\, Social Realism\, and Abstraction on the American art scene. We will elicit common threads between each of these artists that connected them to exciting external influences of the art centers of New York and Paris during the first half of the 20th century. This exhibition positions Delaware as a regional recipient of this groundbreaking influence.
