Make Art Every Day!

Presenting The Funatic Awards!

Beginning this year (2025), Delaware Fun-A-Day will be presenting Funatic Awards for ‘Finishers’ who have completed 5 and 10 years of DEFAD projects. These awards were born from the desire to further highlight and showcase the fine folks who’ve taken on the Fun-A-Day challenge, kept to it, and who’ve made the arts community all the richer for it. These awards are meant to inspire and uplift Artistic Achievement! Let’s create a ripple effect together that reaches out beyond state lines (or country lines, we see you Dundee) and simply have FUN as makers, as artists, and as creators.

Update: Just a quick heads-up—the number of medals you receive is based on how many Delaware Fun-A-Day exhibits you’ve participated in. While we absolutely love that Fun-A-Day events are popping up all over the country and even around the world (shoutout to Philadelphia and Dundee, Scotland!), each one is run independently. That means participation in other locations, as awesome as it is, won’t count toward DEFAD medals. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience—and we seriously can’t wait to celebrate and recognize our amazing, creative, and totally lovable community with these medals. You all make Fun-A-Day something truly special 💛.

What will be your Finisher Rank?
Year 5 - Funatic
Year 10 - Maker Maniac
Year 15 - DEFAD Devotee (we’re in our 13th year, but DEFAD will be turning 15 in 2027 and our 1st Devotee award will be presented then)

What do the Awards look like?
