We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to save the historic Jester Farmhouse, for local artists of all disciplines and skill levels to use as meeting, working, and gallery space. Jester Artspace, Inc. has partnered with the property owner, New Castle County, Del., to renovate the property. In turn, we will operate the house in a manner of direct benefit to the surrounding community. The Jester Farmhouse has been deemed to be of significant historic value to the people of New Castle County. It is one of the few remaining modest pre-Civil War farmsteads that were once common in Northern Delaware. The house sits amid 25.8 acres of original farmland at 2818 Grubb Road, which is among the oldest colonial-era trade routes in the mid-Atlantic U.S.
Please donate if you can. Your contributions are fully tax-deductible. Our donors receive original, limited-edition, artist-signed prints. Do something good for the arts in Brandywine Hundred and enjoy a piece of original art! If you would like us to stay in touch, you can also join our email list.

We can learn much about how a historical period viewed the abilities of its children by studying its children's literature.Art-o-mat is a really cool project where old cigarette vending machines are repurposed to dispense affordable original art. According to their website, most pieces sell for $5. Their site also shows that there are no Art-o-mats yet in Delaware. This one is looking for a home! The Artspace can't host it yet, but maybe someone else can?
www.artomat.org/This very unique art-o-mat is seeking a arts friendly home. Whether your venue is across the canyon or the country...it is ready to launch. Interested hosts please inquire via www.artomat.org. #artomat #artvendingmachine #denniswellsartwork
There is a good one in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in DC. Here's my Lines and Colors post: linesandcolors.com/2011/07/26/art-o-mat-update/
Saw these in Las Vegas - loved it!
Love this idea!

I just spent a marvelous afternoon teaching a decoupage workshop for Jester Artspace. It’s so exciting to see the creative spirit in action. My students will first say “I’m lost”. With some guidance, they reach the “I see” stage as they start to problem solve. The best part is when they step back from their project, appreciate each other’s work, and assess the huge accomplishment they just achieved. Job well done ladies!
These are collage under glass, all created today, in different states of finished-ness.
