Shoppers flocked to the annual Developing Artist Collaboration’s Dewey Sip & Shop event Nov. 25-27 on the grounds of the Dewey Beach Lions Club.
More than 100 artists/vendors offered one-of-a-kind gifts while shoppers enjoyed live local music, a bar with creative cocktails and beer provided by Dewey Beer Co. The Out of the Box DIY Bar allowed guests to create their own works of art.
The DIY bar, merchandise and bar sales all fund the Rehoboth-based nonprofit’s mission of providing education, resources, opportunities and connections to elevate its artists’ creative careers.
