Since 2009 DCAD students have volunteered at the Museum as part of the Foundation Seminar class required for all new students. The class introduces students to the College’s six majors and also to the community through different community service opportunities. The Museum has assigned the student volunteers with various art- and design-related tasks ranging from photography to designing, illustrating, and painting various displays for exhibitions at the Museum. To further this collaboration, the Museum invited the student volunteers to create works of art inspired by nature to be shown in a special exhibit for all visitors to see. The exhibition has been extended to all DCAD students, not just those who volunteered at the Museum. Every year, the Delaware Museum of Natural History hosts three to four special exhibits in its 2,500-square-foot Ederic Exhibit Hall. These exhibits provide constantly changing, educational, and entertaining content for visitors through engaging displays that cover an array of natural history subjects. Representatives from cultural institutions in the local area juried the show and the work is for sale to the general public. |
