Current exhibitions
Every two years, Delaware By Hand (DBH) hosts a membership-wide juried competition in order to select individual artists that are deemed masters of their craft. The 2011 artists were selected by Bryan Young; Curator of Easton, Maryland's Academy Art Museum; and Sally Hansen, retired owner and director of The Glass Gallery in Bethesda, MD, antiques dealer and art collector. Each winner will be represented by three works of art in the Masterworks 2011 exhibition. Their primary exhibition piece is the finest example from which they were judged – their winning artwork. The exhibitors have selected two additional works to represent the scope of their talent and abilities.
