Delaware Division of the Arts Wins 2026 National Arts Access Award for Free Classes for Seniors and Veterans in All Three Counties
The Delaware Division of the Arts announced on November 2 that it has received the 2026 Arts Access Agency Award from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), recognizing exceptional and innovative work to expand access to the arts and broaden participation. Director Jessica Ball accepted the award on the Division's behalf at NASAA's 2026 National Conference in Washington, D.C., held October 7 through 9.
The award recognizes agencies that reduce barriers and make sure public investment in the arts reaches people and communities across their state. Delaware's work includes art classes that are free for older adults in libraries and senior centers in all three counties, free art classes for veterans in all three counties, increased direct funding for individual artists, exhibitions and events that are free to the public, and a statewide events calendar that helps Delawareans find arts and culture in their own neighborhoods.
Secretary of State Charuni Patibanda-Sanchez congratulated the Division on the national recognition, and NASAA President and CEO Pam Breaux said Delaware exemplifies what it means to put access at the center of public arts work and offers a model for state arts agencies nationwide.
