Naming Opportunities and Endowment Gifts

The Delaware Art Museum leaves a lasting impression on all who walk through its doors. Now is your chance to support DelArt and leave your mark.

Naming opportunities and endowment gifts, made to support positions and programs in perpetuity, are a meaningful way to create a legacy at DelArt for your family, in memory of a loved one, or for your business. Your generosity will support our mission to connect people to art.
