RAL Cottage Tour homeowners receive original artwork of their homes
The Rehoboth Art League hosted a patron party June 28 for the 2018 Cottage Tour homeowners, sponsors, patrons and volunteers who make the annual tour a great success. The 160 attendees were an indication of just how popular this tour is. Featured artist Dale Sheldon presented attending homeowners with the framed original watercolor paintings of their homes. She also presented the Rehoboth Art League with an original painting of the campus’s historic Peter Marsh Homestead, which is always a highlight of the Cottage Tour.
The Cottage Tour will include seven exceptional private homes and the Rehoboth Art League’s Historic Homestead open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday, July 10 and 11. J. Conn Scott, tour underwriter, has begun the interior makeover of the Homestead. Richard and Lisa Scott, along with Steve Bendyna, are blending modern furnishings and decorations to complement the historical design in the first floor of the Homestead.
There is free parking at the Rehoboth Elementary School at 500 Stockley St. Ext., and the art league provides Jolly Trolley shuttle service to each home on the tour.
