The Delaware Art Museum periodically holds outdoor events, generally between May and September. At some of these outdoor events, musicians play acoustic or amplified music. The Delaware Art Museum holds a Gathering License that allows the Museum to serve alcoholic beverages at these events.  

We understand that a handful of individuals have filed a protest with the Delaware Alcoholic Beverage Control Commissioner, and that the protest seeks to prevent the Museum from playing live or amplified music at gatherings where alcoholic beverages are served.  

If you support the outdoor programming offered by the Delaware Art Museum, we ask that you sign this petition. By signing this petition, you can show your support for the outdoor music events we provide, including our Happy Hours and periodic cultural festivals such as Dia de los Muertos.

The Delaware Art Museum has been and will remain committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere where neighbors and community members come together to socialize, find common ground, and interact with art.

We are grateful for your continued support!
