The Delaware Contemporary is Delaware’s only contemporary art museum. Founded in 1979 as the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts (DCCA) it rebranded to its current name in 2015. It is a non-collecting museum focused on work by local, regional, as well as national and international artists.

The Delaware Contemporary moved from the former waterworks building near downtown to the Riverfront on the Christina River in Wilmington, Delaware in 2000. In 2008, it ceased charging admission to view the galleries to offer families more affordable cultural choices during the recession.[1]
