TO INSTALL YOUR ARTWORK YOURSELF WITH DEFAD ORGANIZER GUIDANCE:

There is only 1 opportunity to hang your own artwork this year! If you choose to install your project yourself it will be with the guidance of DEFAD Organizers, and you MUST volunteer to help with hanging the work of others as well (at least just a handful of projects). You will check in with an Organizer when you arrive on Friday, August 14th prior to installing your artwork. You must arrive before 2pm to install your project, art that arrives after that time might not make it into the show. We will direct you to a few available spaces for you to choose from. Please note that as the day progresses space options will become more limited. (Please check out the organizers' photos so you can recognize us - www.delawarefunaday.com/delaware-fun-a-day-team):

6.     Friday 8/14/2026

YOU MUST sign up to volunteer to hang art and have been in contact with DEFAD, if you wish to bring your artwork on Friday, August 14th.
*LAST CHANCE or you will not be in the show!* - 9am-2pm on this day!

SHOW READINESS:

All work MUST be ready to hang/display. On your Drop Off / Pick Up Form you will include the written instructions on how you would prefer your work to be displayed. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes. If you do not provide display instructions/materials with your drop off, we will display it as we determine what is most suitable to the space. We will be hanging with different methods (magnets, painters tape, and thumbtacks around or in back of the art, as to not damage it). Again, we strongly encourage you to mount your pieces to a single hanging apparatus prior to drop-off. Digital artwork can be displayed with prior arrangement/communication beforehand.

  • Friday, August 14th (4-9pm) - Opening Reception

  • Saturday, August 15th (9am-9pm) - Art Night is 4-9pm - NEW THIS YEAR!
