RAL sets Jan. 23 bus trip to Jazz Age Illustration exhibition

The Rehoboth Art League is sponsoring a bus trip to see a special exhibition on Jazz Age Illustration Thursday, Jan. 23, at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington.

Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942. The project draws from the museum’s expansive illustration collection, with selective loans, to explore the mass visual culture that emerged at the end of the First World War, a period characterized by cultural vibrancy and dramatic social change. Jazz Age Illustration includes more than 100 works of art and dozens of publications by prominent artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., Neysa McMein and Frank Schoonover.

Jolly Trolley bus check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Fresh Market parking lot on Coastal Highway, Rehoboth. Departure will be at 8:30 a.m. sharp. The bus will begin its return trip from Wilmington at 2 p.m., with arrival expected at 4 p.m. in Rehoboth. The bus will make a stop midway through the two-hour travel time to and from the museum. Participants will be on their own for lunch, with the Kaffeina Café as an option within the museum offering soups, sandwiches, salads and more.
