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.

Thank you to all our friends, family and neighbors that came out last night!
Huge thanks to Wilmington Brew Works for having us in their Alamo room last night for our third Yeast Coast Comedy show. They are extremely supportive of the show and other organizations in the area. Reach out to them if you too would like to have a comedy fundraiser.
The beers/ciders at WBW are some of the finest in the land. Please make sure to like them on Facebook/IG/Twitter and see what events they have coming up. The staff is fantastic.
Thank you to George & Jim of Famous Crab Cakes for bringing the truck and feeding the crowd. They are located in Prospect Park and you should go there.
Thank you to the audience members for coming out and filling our seats so that we can continue to have these shows.
And last, but certainly not least, thank you to the wonderful comedians that kept the room entertained for the entire show. Not being able to get out as much as I'd like to see these fellow comedians perform allows me to become an audience member. It's the greatest.
Our next Yeast Coast Comedy show at WBW will be on Friday November 22nd. Flyer and tickets will be available soon.
