The First State’s employees are getting their time to shine their artistic juices.

The Delaware Division of the Arts is celebrating the creative talents of state employees and their families with the 14th Annual Delaware State Employee Art Exhibition, now open to the public at the Arts Center/Gallery at Delaware State University.

The free exhibition, running through March 21, 2025, highlights the diverse artwork of over 200 participants, with pieces created by state employees and their immediate family members.

The exhibition features a wide range of artistic categories, including Adult (Amateur, Intermediate, and Professional), Teen, and Youth.

A variety of cash prizes, ranging from $50 to $400, will be awarded to the best works in each category, along with a Best of Show and a People’s Choice Award.

Governor Matt Meyer praised the event, emphasizing the importance of creativity in the workplace.

“Creativity is at the heart of innovation, and Delaware state employees embody that every day—whether through problem-solving, collaboration, or finding new ways to serve the people of Delaware,” Meyer said. “This exhibition reminds us that the arts are woven into the fabric of who we are, and the ingenuity that drives artistic expression also fuels our innovative work across state government.”

The event is not only a celebration of artistic achievement but also underscores the value of creative expression in professional settings.

Research has shown that engaging in the arts enhances problem-solving skills, boosts morale, and promotes innovation—qualities that are vital in the workplace.

“Art is an integral part of our daily lives,” said Delaware Division of the Arts Director Jessica Ball said. “It inspires, connects, and enriches our communities, often in ways we may not even realize.”

The exhibition will be on display at the Arts Center/Gallery, with varying hours throughout the week. A special awards ceremony and celebration event will take place on Sunday, March 9, from 12 to 4 p.m., where visitors can view the artwork, meet the winners, and enjoy refreshments, activities, and giveaways.

The exhibition is sponsored by the National Arts Program, in cooperation with the State of Delaware and the Delaware Division of the Arts. It offers a unique opportunity for artists of all skill levels to showcase their work and compete for prizes. All submitted pieces must be original works created by current state employees or their immediate family members, with all artworks completed within the past three years.

NORTHERN LIBERTIES (WPVI) — Lucky Duck is a new eatery along the Delaware River waterfront. The restaurant offers an approachable menu with an American Bistro style food with a creative collection of cocktails and brews.

The space is part of the Rivermark Apartments on Columbus Boulevard which took the place of Festival Pier. The Lucky Duck was part of the build out that includes a Sprouts Grocery store and the residential space.

The Lucky Duck has a tavern atmosphere with a wall of windows that overlook the river. The setting includes a nook for darts, a claw machine with rubber ducks and a pizza window for late night slices after the kitchen closes.

The indoor space includes nearly 70 seats and will be complemented by patio seating that will double to occupancy of the eatery.

ViVA Awards luncheon celebrates service across Delaware County

MUNCIE, IN — Five individuals and one organization were recognized for their contributions to Delaware County during the annual ViVA (Very Important Volunteer Award) luncheon on April 14, according to a community announcement.

The event, hosted by the Muncie Noon Rotary Club in partnership with the Muncie Sunrise Rotary Club, has been a tradition since 1993. The ViVA Awards celebrate those who dedicate their time and resources to uplift the community.

Vickie Armstrong Oliver, Ken Glaub, Dottie Kreps and Beth Kroehler each received individual ViVA Awards for their volunteer efforts and commitment to various causes.

The Muncie Central High School Alumni Association was presented with the 2026 ViVA Organizational Award. Since 1995, the association has supported the high school through philanthropy and historical preservation.

The association has awarded more than $76,000 in scholarships to seniors and nearly $39,000 in teacher grants. It has also financed various campus needs, including the restoration of the school’s Abraham Lincoln statue. The board maintains a public Memorabilia Room to preserve the school’s legacy.

Linda Gregory received the Edmund F. Ball Lifetime Achievement Award for her lifelong dedication to service in the community.

The ViVA Awards luncheon served as a reminder of the generosity and compassion that define Delaware County’s volunteer heritage, according to the announcement.
