SUMMARY:March's 31 Days of Raffles supporting the Lewes Library
DESCRIPTION:“Every day in March the library will draw a raffle ticket to win $100 in gift certificates purchased from local businesses. \nWith 31 days in March\, you have 31 chances to win! \nEvery day is a NEW drawing\, so if you do not win one day\, your ticket will remain in the pot and could be drawn the next day. All net proceeds benefit the Library. Tickets may be purchased at the library and select area businesses.” \nThis a super fun raffle BUT the only reason we are able to give away gift certificates to LOCAL BUSINESSES is because those businesses donated the gift certificates to us. RIGHT NOW things are a little uncertain for many of the brick and mortar stores and restaurants that serve our community\, and make it a wonderful place to live. \nPLEASE show these folks some love right now – pick up food to go or order delivery\, buy gift cards online\, shop their website\, and tell your friends\, family\, and neighbors to do the same (but only talk to them from a safe distance!). Below are all the businesses that supported 31 Chances. Even if a local business isn’t on the list\, show them love too. We’re all in this together.” \n*** BREAKING NEWS *** \nThe Library is pleased to announce there will be a special prize drawing on the final day of drawings (March 31).\nThe first name drawn on that day will win a $250 gift card for use at any of the following Highway One Companies: Rusty Rudder\, Northbeach\, Bottle & Cork\, Outlet Liquors\, Ivy\, and Dewey Beach Liquors. \nThe second\, and final\, name drawn will win the GRAND PRIZE of a Dogfish Head Craft Brewery gift box full of Dogfish merchandise and a gift certificate for a two-night stay at Lewes’ Dogfish Inn. This package is worth over $500. \nRAFFLE TICKETS ARE ON SALE!\nStop by the Circulation Desk. Raffle tickets are offered at the following levels: \n\nFEELING LUCKY: 1 ticket for $20\nTRIPLE PLAY: 3 tickets for $50\nLUCKY 7: 7 tickets for $100\n\nLewes Public Library | (302) 645-2733

SUMMARY:Solo Exhibition by Dane Tilghman\,  Peninsula Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Artist reception on February 12 from 5 – 6:30pm \n\nSolo Exhibition by Dane Tilghman\n\n\nAfrican American life inspired by historical scenes\n\n\nFebruary 12th – March 27th\n\n\nView The Show\n\n\nWorks are available for purchase as soon as they are posted. SEE WORKS\n\n\n\n“We are thrilled to welcome back acclaimed artist\, Dane Tilghman\, for another solo exhibition. Dane is a premier painter of African American culture\, whose work is in numerous universities and major sports arenas\, in addition to being collected by celebrities like Nelson Mandela. \nFor the third year in a row\, Dane brings his larger-than-life artwork to our walls\, giving the people of Lewes the opportunity to bask in the grandeur of his impressionist-style paintings. \nThe ethos of Dane’s work is to bring awareness and attention to the lost history of African American communities throughout the US. Dane embraces an extravagant style and color palette to make Black life and culture from the early 20th Century the centerpiece of artistic admiration. He isn’t confined by artistic rules or forms\, opting to combine qualities of cubism\, impressionism\, and realism with palette knife work and various mediums to create textural pieces that come to life on the canvases. \nHis powerful\, yet poignant\, works remind viewers of the importance of a caring society for people of all color and creed\, not only in history but in the present and the future. \nDane Tilghman grew up in West Chester\, PA and has been a professional artist for nearly 40 years. His family was originally from Tilghman Island in the Chesapeake Bay before migrating to Dover and finally settling in Pennsylvania. \nHe is inspired by historic black and white images\, transforming a once static and unidimensional photograph into a vibrant and profound painting. For this show\, Dane and Tony Boyd-Heron\, Peninsula Gallery’s exhibition curator and co-owner\, visited the Delaware Archives to find photographs depicting Black life from the early 1900s. Tony said of the experience\, “we were disappointed by the little material showing the candid life and spirit of the African American communities in the archive.” \nDane says\, “Black people played just as much a role in the life-blood of Delaware as anywhere else. The working-class individuals depicted in my work\, whether they be working on the sea or on a farm\, were family-oriented; they had a purpose and were here to make a mark — even if that was just to make sure there was food on their table. But I believe everybody has a purpose. These individuals probably didn’t think they would be immortalized on canvas\, but they lived and served history just like anyone else.” \nA reception will be held on Saturday\, February 12\, from 5 to 6:30 pm\, and attendees will have the opportunity to mingle with Dane during the evening. Please note\, due to the rise in COVID-19 cases\, we will be requiring timed entry for the reception. Call (302) 645-0551 or email peninsulagallery1@gmail.com to reserve a time slot.\n\n\n
