The Rehoboth Art League held a ribbon-cutting ceremony April 10, for its Studios on Route 9. The ceremony was sponsored by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce.

That same evening RAL held an opening reception for a photo exhibit titled "Boundaries." The exhibit featured four artists who belong to the Young Photographers Alliance (YPA) at Salisbury University. The YPA, initially founded in New York in 2009 by Jerry Tavin and Deborah Free, was created to inspire and empower young, gifted photographers.

Led by industry professionals, YPA provides aspiring image makers with access to the kind of practical industry knowledge, experience, resources, and contacts they need to build sustainable careers as photography professionals. YPA is unique in its focus on community and the fostering of direct, meaningful connections between emerging and established photographers. Its vision is to create powerful synergies between the two groups, recognizing that collaboration benefits both, and ultimately energizes and advances the profession as a whole. The theme "Boundaries" is a subject YPA members worldwide are currently exploring.
