ARC26

Culminating Exhibition of the 2026 Artists-in-Residence Program

Mo Berrouet, E.Lizé, & Celeste M. Rodriguez

Curated by Amber M Chacana, ARC 26 Curator-in-Residence

The Artist-in-Residence Cohort (ARC) identifies and supports local emerging artists poised for careers as dedicated artists. This year, jurors Katie Leach, Professor at University of Delaware, and ARC 23 alum John Webb chose three regional artists: Mo Berrouet, E.Lizé, and Celeste M. Rodriguez. New to this year’s program, Margaret Winslow, Chief curator at The Delaware Art Museum, selected Amber M Chacana as the first ARC curator-in-residence. The artists have spent ten months in intensive professional development seminars, formal and informal critiques, and one-on-one meetings with mentors to prepare for their culminating exhibition. Amber spent several months in the office with the curatorial team to learn the ins and outs of arts administration. They were tasked with coordinating the resident artists and curating their work into the culminating exhibition.
