Sara Ganter took over as executive director of the Rehoboth Art League, Sussex County’s first organized cultural arts center, back in 2019. Through her tenure, she has helped the organization survive the COVID pandemic and return to a robust calendar of exhibitions, roster of educational offerings, and a wide array of arts-driven events, all of which draw more than 25,000 community members each year. For more than 80 years, the Rehoboth Art League has been a beacon for the arts in Sussex County, and its Henlopen Acres campus continues to spotlight established and upcoming artists while bringing arts education programs out to underserved communities. The Rehoboth Art League is also one of the few organizations in Delaware that actively acquires art for its permanent Collection of Fine Art, now counting hundreds of pieces.
