Chadds Ford Elementary School is hosting its 75th annual Art Show and Sale, and with such a momentous occasion come key changes designed to enhance patron, artist, and volunteer experiences. Such changes include a shift to a one-day event on Saturday, March 16, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and the opportunity for patrons to purchase art, jewelry, wooden items, glass designs, and pottery directly from the artists, creating a speedier check-out process. This will also be a unique opportunity to meet the artists and discuss their work.
There is no admission fee for this event, and all ages are welcome to attend. To commemorate our 75th year, the event is shifting from its tradition of a single featured artist to a ‘Diamond Showcase,’ an on-stage display honoring featured artists from the past 30 years and the rich history of the event itself. There will be a mid-day presentation recognizing the work of our Diamond Showcase artists as well as the history behind the show.
Patrons should note that each artist will control their payment process. While some artists may offer various payment options, such as credit card, Venmo, or Apple Pay, all artists will accept cash or personal checks. The Chadds Ford PTO suggests bringing a checkbook to not miss an opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
We will also feature a raffle table of all donated pieces of art by our artists.
About the show
The late Betsy Wyeth, wife of the late Andrew Wyeth, founded the Annual Chadds Ford Art Show and Sale in 1949 and remained involved while their sons Jamie and Nicholas Wyeth were students at Chadds Ford Elementary. The annual event continues to serve as the school’s largest annual fundraiser. Funding continues to support enhancements to substantial enrichment opportunities, including a state-of-the-art greenhouse, which will be enjoyed by many generations of Chadds Ford students to come.
