The Delaware College of Art and Design is located at 600 North Market Street in the center of downtown Wilmington. DCAD's historic art deco building has been newly renovated and transformed into a state-of-the-art educational facility. Technologically current computer imaging and graphics labs, darkrooms and photo studios reflect the latest developments in these fields, while painting, drawing and design studios, bathed in natural light, merge the modern with the traditional. A first floor exhibition gallery provides an important showcase for student work, is open to the public, and is part of the downtown Arts Loop that invites visitors and residents alike to explore the cultural resources of the city.
The college joins some distinguished neighbors on Market Street: the Wilmington Grand Opera House, host to theater, ballet, opera, orchestra and jazz performances; the Christina Cultural Arts Center; the downtown branch of the Delaware Art Museum; and the Historical Society of Delaware, keeper of Delaware's past. Market Street's lively scene is punctuated by outdoor restaurants, grand historical structures and residential housing. The campus is also just a few blocks away from the famed Hotel du Pont, which displays an extensive collection of the Wyeths' art in its elegant public rooms.
