The Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts is Delaware’s only contemporary art museum. Founded in 1979, it is a non-collecting museum focused on displays of local and regional artists.
The Museum moved from a location near downtown to the Christina riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware in 2000.
In 2008, DCCA quit charging admission to view the galleries to offer families more affordable cultural choices during the recession.[1]
