The Mezzanine Gallery to Exhibit Lori Crawford’s“EnvironMental Just(ice) Mercy”
Wilmington, Del. (December 2, 2024) – The Delaware Division of the Arts’ Mezzanine Gallery will showcase “EnvironMental Just(ice) Mercy,” an exhibition by 2024 Established Artist Fellow Lori Crawford. The exhibition runs from December 6–27, 2024, with a Meet-the-Artist Reception on Friday, December 6, from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
Lori Crawford, a Dover-based artist and tenured professor at Delaware State University, has been creating art for nearly three decades. Her latest body of work represents a transformative period in her artistic practice, inspired by the escalating effects of climate change. “I am determined to channel feelings of fright, anger, and frustration into creative expression,” says Crawford.
Originally from Mount Rainier, Maryland, Crawford has lived, worked, and taught in Delaware for over 25 years. Trained in digital media and painting, she recently expanded her practice to include photography and multimedia, repurposing discarded materials and artworks to create dynamic pieces. Her works highlight the urgency of climate action by juxtaposing natural beauty with destructive forces like volcanic ruins, aiming to inspire respect for the planet and encourage environmental responsibility.
“Climate change brings extreme weather—heat waves, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires—which affects my mental state,” Crawford explains. “But a trip to Hawaii, where I captured breathtaking seascapes, reminded me of the contrast between nature’s beauty and its destruction. This exhibition reflects those dualities.”
Crawford’s work draws inspiration from artists like Jacob Lawrence and the soulful music of blues legends such as Etta James and Nina Simone, which she listens to while working in her home studio.
The Mezzanine Gallery is located on the second floor of the Carvel State Office Building at 820 N. French Street, Wilmington. It is open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.The Mezzanine Gallery, open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is located on the second floor of the Carvel State Office Building, 820 N.

Thomas Jefferson University is opening a regional campus of its Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Delaware, an effort that will result in the state’s first medical school.
Jefferson beat out three other bidders to establish the four-year program in partnership with the state. The other bidders were the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, Spotlight Delaware reported.

The inaugural class of 40 medical students will begin instruction in July 2028. Initially, the campus will be based at the University of Delaware in Newark, with Jefferson faculty providing instruction. A permanent home for the campus is still being finalized, the Inquirer reported.
The medical students will receive 18 months of preclinical training on campus before receiving clinical training from healthcare providers in Delaware’s southern counties, where the state’s physician shortage is most deeply felt. That shortage is compounded by an aging population, Delaware officials said.
“Jefferson is committed to being part of the solution to Delaware’s physician shortage,” Jefferson CEO Dr. Joseph Cacchione said in a statement. “We are proud to help build a future where every Delawarean has access to the care they deserve. Jefferson is all in.”
The school’s creation is being supported by $157.4 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Delaware is one of three states without a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. Since the late 1960s, Jefferson and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine have reserved seats for Delaware students.
“Sidney Kimmel Medical College has trained generations of physicians for more than 200 years, more than any other medical college in the country,” Said Ibrahim, dean of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, said in a statement. “It is a privilege to bring our mission to Delaware’s patients and communities.”
Jefferson has announced several expansions recently. The university is establishing a full-time doctor of nursing practice-nurse anesthesia program and several online graduate programs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Center for Healthcare Education in Lehigh County. It also is opening a satellite respiratory therapy lab at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown.
