Tickets on sale for Cottage Tour of Art in Rehoboth July 10-11

June 27, 2018

The Rehoboth Art League will hold the 69th Annual Cottage Tour of Art from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday, July 10, and Wednesday, July 11.

The Cottage Tour Committee has worked for several months to present this year’s selection of eight homes in the Rehoboth Beach area. Each home on this year’s two-day self-paced tour has distinctive character brought together through landscape, interior and architectural designs. Some homes have quite a history, and many homeowners showcase memories and collections in unique ways.

The Rehoboth Art League’s Historic Peter Marsh Homestead will be transformed with furnishings and décor by the tour underwriter, J. Conn Scott. Richard Scott, Lisa Scott and Steve Bendyna will blend modern furnishings and decorations to compliment the historical design and current exhibition throughout the first floor of the Homestead. In previous years, this has ranged from a white, slipcovered cottage look to a throw-back to the 1950s with bright orange. Last year their transformation included a trio of contemporary rooms in whites and blues, complete with a study, a dining room and a sitting room. Purchase tickets early so not to miss the creativity showcased at each home.

The ticket for the tour is a commemorative program booklet with an image and description of each home on the tour. Tickets are $35 per person. The tour is appropriate for ages 13 and above. For more information, go to www.rehobothartleague.org or call 302-227-8408. The booklets are now available and can then be picked up at the art league’s Henlopen Acres campus, 12 Dodds Lane. (Note that tickets purchased on the RAL website and by phone must be picked up at RAL.)

Also, tickets are now available in Rehoboth Beach at Bellinger’s Jewelers, Browseabout Books, Farmer Girl Exotic Gardens, J. Conn Scott Showhouse and Windsor’s Flowers & Plants; in Fenwick at Carolina Street; in Lewes at Community Bank of Delaware and Lewes Gourmet; and in Bethany Beach at Sea Needles. Tickets for the tour are also available the day of the tour at any of the homes, based on availability, and the Rehoboth Art League.

This year parking is very limited at several of the house locations. Free parking will be available at the Rehoboth Elementary School parking lot at 500 Stockley St., Rehoboth Beach. The art league is providing Jolly Trolley transportation for cottage tour ticket holders. Shuttle service will begin running at 9:45 a.m. and continue until tour ending each day.

The Cottage Tour of Art is underwritten by J. Conn Scott and sponsored by Boardwalk Builders and Echelon Custom Homes.
