Holiday shoppers got a head start on their lists at Developing Artist Collaboration’s ninth annual Sip & Shop, held Nov. 24-26 at Hyatt Place Dewey Beach.
Dozens of artists displayed their wares throughout the three-day shopping event, which initially began on a much smaller scale at The Starboard in 2014. Creative cocktails, local beers and wine, and a free tasting bar kept shoppers hydrated while live music and musicians entertained the crowd.
All DAC merchandise and bar sales fund the Rehoboth Beach-based nonprofit’s mission of providing education, resources, opportunities and connection to elevate its artists’ creative careers.
