Since its founding in 1997, Delaware College of Art and Design has strived to develop connections within all of its communities – educational, commercial, philanthropic and, of course, creative. The associations and partnerships these affiliations have bred enhance DCAD’s presence and ability to carry out its mission. And yet, despite 20 years of successfully creating relationships while developing artists, designers and its city locale, DCAD may not be as wellknown as one might think.
