The Delaware Contemporary moved to the Riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware in 2000. The 33,000-square-foot building includes seven galleries, 26 art studios, an auditorium, a classroom, a museum shop, and administrative offices.[2] In 2008, it ceased charging admission to view the galleries to offer families more affordable cultural choices during the recession.[3]
