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

SUMMARY:Spanish Conversation Group\, Lewes Library
DESCRIPTION:“Join Spanish speakers 18+ to improve your Spanish-speaking skills. \nBasic Spanish conversational ability is required. \nNOTE: this is not a traditional class — there is no Spanish teacher. Instead\, it is a group of people who already speak some Spanish\, or who have studied some Spanish\, or who are now taking some classes elsewhere. Members include retirees\, college students\, and others who have a range of Spanish speaking abilities. Members of the group make suggestions as to what we might do in future classes. There is usually a ‘homework’ assignment preparing each person to talk in Spanish for 2 to 3 minutes to the group. There are icebreakers\, games\, and invited guests who speak on various topics. Each week is different. Nearly all of the discussions are in Spanish. The group is very informal\, friendly and there is no pressure to participate.” \nThursdays | 2:00 PM Eastern Time | Hybrid (Online and In-person)\n \n  \nAll copy and pics from the website: Lewes Library
