Updated artist roster debuts on state arts division website

July 10, 2023

The Delaware Division of the Arts recently launched a refreshed version of the Delaware Artist Roster on its DelawareScene.com portal.

The roster presents a diverse selection of talented artists and groups from Delaware who are now available to exhibit, perform or present programs throughout Delaware and the wider mid-Atlantic region. The Delaware Artist Roster is set to revolutionize the way artists and groups connect, fostering collaborations that will enrich the cultural landscape of Delaware.

The DelawareScene.com portal is the division's arts and culture digital calendar, and the roster’s inclusion will offer artists and organizations a new dimension of visibility and engagement. They will have the ability to tag themselves in events from their artist roster profile and help create a comprehensive artist appearance calendar. This integration allows the artist roster members to benefit from the more than 100,000 annual site visitors on DelawareScene.com, helping them receive maximum exposure and connection opportunities.

As the premier platform serving both artists available for hire and organizations seeking local talent, the Delaware Artist Roster provides a comprehensive directory of accomplished artists. Each artist's application is carefully reviewed to ensure they meet the basic criteria established by the division.

Artists looking to share their information with the public can showcase their creative work by creating a free profile on the roster, establishing a powerful online presence and gaining exposure for their talent. They can upload larger files and videos, immersing viewers in their artistic vision directly from their profiles. The thriving website traffic creates a unique avenue for artists to expand their reach and connect with a broader audience, opening doors to new opportunities and propelling their careers to new heights.

Companies, organizers and individuals seeking local artists for events or commissions can use the roster as their go-to resource. Whether it's a special event, a commissioned project, or a unique collaboration, the Delaware Artist Roster showcases an array of skilled artists who are ready to bring their creativity to any occasion. The easy-to-use interface lets anyone explore artist profiles, contact members directly, and infuse their events and projects with the vibrancy and diversity of Delaware's arts community.

"The Delaware Artist Roster represents a significant step forward in promoting our state's thriving arts scene," said Jessica Ball, Delaware Division of the Arts director. "We are delighted to offer this invaluable resource to both artists and organizations, fostering connections that will enrich the cultural fabric of Delaware. Whether you are an artist seeking wider exposure or a company searching for local talent, the Delaware Artist Roster is the gateway to a world of artistic possibilities."
