DelArt’s Sculpture Garden Happy Hours are vibrant, laid-back evenings that combine live entertainment with a casual and social atmosphere. Featuring live music, seasonal beverages, local food trucks, Kaffeina Cafe, lawn games, and arts and crafts vendors. Our DelArt Nights don’t end in the summer; once a month, those nights combine with our Happy Hours. These special celebrations will include special themes and interdisciplinary art experiences alongside live music. Happy Hours may be moved indoors or canceled due to inclement weather. Be sure to register or check our website for updates.
This DelArt Night—the first Sculpture Garden Happy Hour of the season—is Member Appreciation Night! Members can have a drink on us! Visit the Membership table to grab your free drink ticket and help us kick off the summer in style. Mingle with fellow members and enjoy great conversation. We can’t wait to raise a glass with you!
Members are encourage to join us before the start of Happy Hour at 4:30 pm for our Annual Member’s Meeting, where you’ll hear updates from DelArt’s Board and staff, get the inside scoop on what’s ahead, and cast your vote for incoming 2025 trustees.

Josh answered the call to Reggae music in 2004 forming the band Judah Tribe, who released their debut album “Nu Day Dawnin” in 2013. As destiny would have it, Judah Tribe would open for The Wailers at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in 2012 where he and distant relatives Aston “Family Man” Barrett, Sr. and Aston Jr. would cross paths; leading to his joining The Wailers in 2015. In 2021 The Wailers released their debut album after 25 years, “One World”, co-produced by Emilio Estefan and produced by Josh David and Aston Barrett, Jr. In January 2025, Josh David released a new single “Tselot(The Lord’sPrayer)” and in the works for 2025 is new music from Judah Tribe, The Original Wailers, BaRuch Hinds, Kenyatta Hill, and more on his label Vine & Fig Tree Records.
