We need friendly helpers to guide vehicles to our overflow parking lot and provide a pair of helping hands as needed during our Housewarming event from 11am to 3pm on October 5. This is a fun opportunity to get to know the artists and professionals who saved the Jester Farmhouse from the wrecking ball for community benefit.
Come lend a hand if you want to stay involved, we are always looking for new members of our board and committees to help guide our nonprofit!
Event details:
Come to our official opening! For nine years a dedicated band of artists and skilled professionals came together to save one of our pre-Civil War farmsteads from the wrecking ball and to give it new life as a creative space in the middle of Jester Park. On October 5, Jester Artspace will have our ribbon-cutting and the opening of Volunteers, our inaugural exhibition dedicated to the brilliant creative work of those who brought this space to life.
Enjoy how-to demonstrations in plein air painting, linocut printing, oil painting, and the Urban Sketching movement. Enjoy food from Outlandish. Accessible parking onsite. Free shuttle available to additional parking at nearby Hanby Elementary School.

Mission Statement
We are friends working to provide an artistic venue, support and camaraderie for creative people, as we preserve the rural heritage of our home at Jester Farm.
Description
Jester Artspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to restore the historic Jester Farmhouse, in Jester Park on Grubb Road in Wilmington DE, for local artists of all disciplines and skill levels to use as meeting, working and gallery space. The county-owned property is one of the few remaining modest pre-Civil War farmsteads that were once common in Northern Delaware. We are working closely with the county and our restoration plans are nearly complete. In the coming year, we will be undergoing intense strategic planning to transition from restoration, to opening our doors. Learn more about us at jesterartspace.org.
