DiAE's Founders Day

Creativity belongs in every classroom—and Founders Day is our opportunity to celebrate the people helping make that possible.

Join Delaware Institute for the Arts in Education for an evening centered around creativity, connection, and community. Together, we’ll celebrate another year of impact, recognize the educators, artists, partners, and supporters who help move our mission forward, and share a glimpse of what’s ahead for arts education across Delaware.

Whether you’ve supported DiAE for years or are just beginning to learn about our work, Founders Day is a chance to connect with our community and experience the heart behind what we do.

This year, we are proud to honor Bob Stoddard with our annual Impact Award, recognizing his meaningful support of DiAE and his commitment to advancing creativity and arts education throughout Delaware.

Come celebrate with us as we continue connecting creativity, classrooms, and communities throughout Delaware.
