Making the Chris White Gallery available to community artists and other arts organizations; and actively promoting and supporting art-related and other community events there. Since resuming gallery activities in November 2021 (after a 20-month hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic), CWCDC has regularly mounted exhibits of work by local artists and opened them to the public on preannounced occasions and made them available for private showings as well. Unpaid board members and other volunteers manage the gallery and organize events. Curation and set-up of exhibits is contracted with qualified representatives of the local art community on a per-exhibit basis. During 2023 the gallery was open to the public for 31 total showings covering 7 different exhibits; in 2022 there were 21 showings for 8 exhibits. CWCDC earns a below-market commission when art is sold as a result of exhibits. The gallery is also offered to the community for appropriate private events for a nominal cost. Also during 2023, CWCDC received a grant of $4,800 from the Delaware Division of the Arts to patch and seal a wall in the gallery basement and install a hanging system.
