It was a picture-perfect morning July 3 for the 55th annual St. Peter’s Art Show in downtown Lewes, as more than 100 artists set up their original works on the block surrounding the church and even into the M&T Bank parking lot.

Paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures, jewelry and more were displayed and offered for sale.

The forecast rain held off most of the day, with showers starting within the last hour of the event.

The event is scheduled to return Saturday, July 2, 2022.
