25th Riverfront Anniversary Gala
The Future is Now
The Delaware Contemporary proudly announces our 25th Riverfront Anniversary Gala to be hosted at the museum on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 5 - 9 PM.
For 45 years, The Delaware Contemporary has been a hub of creativity, pushing boundaries and shaping the future of art. For 25 of those years, we’ve proudly called the Riverfront home—an ever-changing horizon that mirrors our mission of constant innovation. This year’s Gala theme, The Future is Now, speaks to the pressing need for support and the museum’s role in shaping tomorrow’s artistic landscape.
In celebration of our past, present, and future, we would be honored if you would consider supporting our event through one of our SPONSORSHIP options below. Our sponsors help elevate the Gala experience while making this event an even greater fundraising success for The Delaware Contemporary.
This event is expected to attract 250 guests, including key figures in government, arts and culture, and the broader Wilmington community. Gala sponsors receive prominent recognition across event invitations, emails, our website, and on-site signage.

For 25 years, we’ve proudly called Riverfront Wilmington home. In recognition of this historic organizational milestone, The Delaware Contemporary is embarking on a brick naming campaign. This is an opportunity for you, our loyal patrons, to get involved and recognize someone (or something) of importance in your life, and we would be honored if you chose to participate and purchase a brick.
