• Motorists who use Creek Road to and from Delaware will be facing a detour for about three weeks. The Delaware Department of Transportation is closing off a portion of the road between the state line and Twaddell Mill Road from Monday, Aug. 20 through Monday, Sept. 10. The road will be closed 24/7 so DelDOT crews can construct a concrete bridge deck.
• Édouard Manet, Gustave Doré, Paul Gauguin, James Ensor, Aubrey Beardsley, Arthur Rackham, Harry Clarke, Barry Moser and Robert Motherwell are among the more than two dozen artists featured in Picturing Poe: Illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories and Poems. From the seemingly straightforward to the abstract, each artist’s work reflects his or her own time and personal interpretation of Poe’s work. The exhibition is on view at the Brandywine River Museum from Sept. 8 through Nov. 15.
