DCAD showing ‘forged fashion’ of sculptor, blacksmith Ellen Durkan

Delicate yet dangerous and evoking both strength and vulnerability, the wearable metalwork of two-time state arts fellowship recipient Ellen Durkan is creating a striking presence in Delaware College of Art and Design’s Toni & Stuart B. Young Gallery.

“Ellen Durkan: Behind Her Iron Gates” opens at DCAD with an Art Loop Wilmington reception featuring live models from 5 to 8 p.m. February 1. Complementing the “forged fashion” pieces are graphite and charcoal drawings in a range of sizes.

WSFS grant helping fund DCAD dual-credit program at Cab Calloway

A $6,500 grant from WSFS Bank is helping to pay instructional costs of the dual-credit program recently launched by Delaware College of Art and Design at Cab Calloway School of the Arts.

Dual-credit – or dual-enrollment – programs allow high school students to take courses that count toward both their high school diplomas and their future college degrees. This saves students money on higher education expenses and helps them complete their associate’s or bachelor’s programs on time or even early.
