    <description><![CDATA[<p>What if a story about addiction was fast, funny, and fiercely compassionate—and left you more connected than when you walked in? We sat down with <a href='https://www.newlighttheatre.com/'>New Light Theatre</a>’s artistic director Lena Mucchetti, co-directors Allison Heishman and Charlie DelMarcelle, and actor Owen Corey to unpack The White Chip, Sean Daniels’ candid, high-velocity play about substance use disorder and the hard-won road to recovery.<br/><br/>Across the conversation, we explore how humor becomes honest medicine. The team shares why a brisk, episodic structure, quick character shifts, and sudden moments of stillness make the heavy parts land with care, not shock.  We also dive into what hope looks like in real time: relationships that heal, shame that loosens in the light of conversation, and a pivotal shift from self-focus to service that reframes success and sustains sobriety.<br/><br/>Stigma thrives in silence, so New Light builds real-world bridges around the art. Their partnership with Delaware’s <em>atTAcK addition </em>brings training to the rehearsal room, resources to the lobby, and informed voices to post-show talkbacks. Teen Night adds guided context and a safer space for questions. From discreet bathroom cards to concessions that directly fund community work, this production models how theater can be both storytelling and support system—meeting people where they are while inviting them to take the next step.<br/><br/>If you care about harm reduction, recovery, and the power of theater to change minds, this episode will resonate. Come for the craft of a well-made play; stay for the deeper truth that we heal by showing up for each other. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a compassionate nudge, and leave a review to help more listeners find this conversation.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217322/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><br/><br/>The Delaware Division of the Arts, a branch of the Delaware Department of State, is committed to supporting the arts and cultivating creativity to enhance the quality of life in Delaware.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>A diner outside Richmond. A napkin. And a flash of inspiration that turned into a global invitation to write. We sit down with author and ghostwriter John Riddle to unpack how I Love to Write Day began, why it stuck, and what keeps it thriving twenty-plus years later. From a long drive to a Writers Digest interview to an unexpected USA Today spotlight, John walks us through the turning points that helped a simple idea become a movement.<br/><br/>We explore why writing matters for everyone, not just “writers.” John breaks down how putting words on the page sharpens critical thinking, opens unexpected doors, and supports mental health. He shares stories that show the day’s reach: students securing a governor’s proclamation, teens helping seniors capture their life stories, schools blanketing hallways with positive messages, and nonprofits using journaling to process trauma. These moments reveal a core truth—writing builds community while giving individuals a way to find and share their voice.<br/><br/>You’ll also get practical tools to start or restart your practice. John’s go-to exercise for beating creative block takes minutes and resets your momentum. His three habits—make time, build confidence, and keep it fun—offer a durable framework for both novices and pros. We talk about balancing business and joy, from ghostwriting deadlines to co-authoring a humor book with his grandsons. Looking ahead, John teases the 25th anniversary plans, including an updated creative journal and a push to bring I Love to Write Day to the UK, Spain, and Australia.<br/><br/>Ready to write a paragraph, a poem, or the first page of your book? Hit play, then join us on November 15 and share what you create. If this conversation sparked an idea, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it to a friend who needs a nudge to start.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it feel like when time slips away and creativity flows effortlessly? For Gina Wilson, this unexpected state of &quot;flow&quot; during writing became the bridge between her established career as an executive coach and her emerging identity as a novelist. <br/><br/>Wilson brings a unique perspective to her writing, grounded in her Master&apos;s degree in Cognitive Psychology and years of helping leaders overcome burnout and self-doubt. During our conversation, she reveals how she discovered writing induced a state of complete immersion and energy that contrasted sharply with the depleted feeling many experience in their professional lives. This revelation led her from non-fiction to her recent novel &quot;Silicon Valley East,&quot; which follows a female protagonist navigating the male-dominated tech world of the 1980s.<br/><br/>The conversation explores the discipline behind creative work, with Wilson sharing her structured approach to writing—daily dedicated time blocks, character spreadsheets, and regular revision cycles. Her methods reflect her background in management consulting while allowing space for creative exploration. Most refreshing is Wilson&apos;s candid discussion of vulnerability in the creative process, particularly when sharing work with writing groups and beta readers. She credits these communities with providing crucial feedback while acknowledging how difficult it can be to open oneself to critique.<br/><br/>At its heart, Wilson&apos;s message centers on personal agency—the belief that we aren&apos;t victims of circumstance but can make meaningful choices that transform our lives. Whether through coaching or storytelling, she aims to help people recognize their power to pivot when one path doesn&apos;t work out. For writers still finding their voice, her advice resonates with authenticity: write in your own voice, because no one else shares your unique perspective and experiences. In a world increasingly populated by AI-generated content, Wilson&apos;s emphasis on genuine human expression feels both timely and essential.<br/><br/>Ready to discover how your creative pursuits might transform your professional journey?

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Storytelling has the power to transcend barriers, even prison walls. Meet Cassandra Lewis, an award-winning writer whose creative journey illuminates how literature can build bridges where society often constructs divides.<br/><br/>When Lewis began mentoring through PEN America&apos;s Prison and Justice Writing Program, she expected to guide an incarcerated writer. What emerged instead was a profound partnership with Geneva Phillips, an accomplished writer whose memoir and poetry had already garnered recognition. Their exchange of letters evolved beyond writing critique into a friendship that transformed Lewis&apos;s own creative work. Through Phillips&apos; guidance, Lewis finally unlocked a personal manuscript she&apos;d struggled with for years—a testament to mentorship&apos;s reciprocal nature.<br/><br/>The conversation explores how incarcerated writers consistently return to themes of community and connection in their work. As Lewis describes it, these narratives reveal the resilience of the human spirit in maintaining relationships despite systematic attempts to sever them. Yet practical obstacles abound: mail digitization means incarcerated people never touch original letters from loved ones; censorship creates communication uncertainty; and unexpected facility transfers can abruptly end friendships without goodbyes.<br/><br/>Lewis&apos;s own creative work sits at the intersection of arts and advocacy. Her fellowship-funded play examines extreme sentencing through the story of an estranged grandmother and granddaughter reconnecting across prison barriers. Rather than providing easy answers, Lewis uses storytelling to explore complex questions about criminal justice, mental health systems, and human connection. &quot;Great storytelling inspires conversation,&quot; Lewis explains, &quot;and that&apos;s how things get started, that&apos;s how things get moving.&quot;<br/><br/>For writers considering similar mentorship programs, Lewis emphasizes the importance of literary citizenship—supporting other writers and participating in the ongoing conversation of ideas. Her experience with PEN America surpassed all expectations, personally and professionally transforming both mentor and mentee.<br/><br/>Ready to discover how storytelling can build empathy and inspire change?

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it mean to be fearless? To be American? To pursue your dreams against all odds? These questions lie at the heart of &quot;Fearless,&quot; a groundbreaking new opera by composer Derrick Wang that tells the extraordinary true story of Hazel Ying Lee, one of the few Chinese-American women to serve as a pilot during World War II.<br/><br/>Derrick Wang, known for his critically acclaimed opera &quot;Scalia-Ginsburg&quot; about the unlikely friendship between Supreme Court Justices, brings his unique creative voice to this remarkable story of courage and determination. Wang joins us alongside OperaDelaware&apos;s Kerriann Otaño to discuss the journey of creating this world premiere production, which opens May 16th in Wilmington.<br/><br/>The opera approaches Hazel&apos;s story through an innovative narrative lens, told from the perspective of her fictional younger sister Iris. This framing device allows audiences to experience Hazel&apos;s remarkable achievements through a deeply personal connection, humanizing a historical figure who defied expectations and broke barriers. As Wang explains, &quot;Rather than minimize the challenges and twists and turns of her story to fit into a neat little package, I wondered what if the structure of this musical drama embraced the unexpected paths that Hazel took?&quot;<br/><br/>For OperaDelaware, premiering &quot;Fearless&quot; represents their ongoing commitment to redefining what opera can be.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What does it mean to be fearless? To be American? To pursue your dreams against all odds? These questions lie at the heart of &quot;Fearless,&quot; a groundbreaking new opera by composer Derrick Wang that tells the extraordinary true story of Hazel Ying Lee, one of the few Chinese-American women to serve as a pilot during World War II.<br/><br/>Derrick Wang, known for his critically acclaimed opera &quot;Scalia-Ginsburg&quot; about the unlikely friendship between Supreme Court Justices, brings his unique creative voice to this remarkable story of courage and determination. Wang joins us alongside OperaDelaware&apos;s Kerriann Otaño to discuss the journey of creating this world premiere production, which opens May 16th in Wilmington.<br/><br/>The opera approaches Hazel&apos;s story through an innovative narrative lens, told from the perspective of her fictional younger sister Iris. This framing device allows audiences to experience Hazel&apos;s remarkable achievements through a deeply personal connection, humanizing a historical figure who defied expectations and broke barriers. As Wang explains, &quot;Rather than minimize the challenges and twists and turns of her story to fit into a neat little package, I wondered what if the structure of this musical drama embraced the unexpected paths that Hazel took?&quot;<br/><br/>For OperaDelaware, premiering &quot;Fearless&quot; represents their ongoing commitment to redefining what opera can be. As the 11th oldest opera company in America, they&apos;re challenging preconceptions about opera being intimidating or inaccessible. With &quot;Fearless&quot; sung entirely in English and featuring tuneful, melodic music that audiences can connect with immediately, the production creates a direct emotional impact while maintaining the artistic excellence opera lovers expect.<br/><br/>Beyond the performances (May 16th and 18th), OperaDelaware has organized special community events including a free preview at Market Street Music (May 1st) and a presentation at the Air Mobility Command Museum (May 4th) featuring discussions about the Women Airforce Service Pilots and their historical significance.

Peters believes that “all clothing is a costume. We are costuming ourselves daily in the roles we play for those around us.” This belief is the basic tenet of her artistic practice. Fighting the urge to hide, Peters attires herself in a variety of clothing to “add and subtract layers of meaning.” She then creates source photos on which to base her paintings, works that question, probe, and interpret the roles of women in society. Peters grew up in Wilmington, one of three children, and she spent a lot of time “playing dress-up. [She] would put on plays in a neighbor’s basement theater.” She has also worked as a theatrical costumer, something that was “a good step (in hindsight) to what I’m doing now.” Her favorite painting as a child was Jamie Wyeth’s <em>Portrait of a Pig</em>, and she was drawn to the Impressionists as a teen.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Andy Truscott speaks with Jean Dahlgren and Lise Dubé-Scherr about the Delaware College of Art and Design’s 25th Anniversary and the launch of their new UI/UX Product Design Program.</p><p>For 25 years, Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) has empowered emerging creatives through its Associates of Fine Arts (AFA) degrees in Animation, Game Art, Illustration, Fine Art, Photography, and Graphic Design. The college’s rigorous curriculum and vibrant student community have activated the careers of over 1,000 graduates in a wide range of creative fields. DCAD and their graduates have woven their influence into the world in which we all live, work and play.</p><p>DCAD’s Product Design course powered by Flatiron School curriculum focuses on UI/UX design for digital products we interact with, such as websites or mobile applications. Product Design is a holistic role, one that has ownership over the entire UX and UI process. Coding knowledge is not required, though it can be helpful, which is why this program teaches HTML and CSS basics.  Through this course, you will learn how to think and build like a product design professional. In each of the four curriculum modules, you will develop key skills through a combination of lectures, labs, group work, and individual assignments.</p><p>The accelerated online course is 12 weeks, full-time (9 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST) plus approximately 20 hours of weekly self-study. Graduates of this course will be equipped for a wide-range of entry-level product design roles and will receive twelve 30-minute one-on-one individualized career coaching sessions. Each cohort is limited to 20 students. Pre-requisite includes 30-40 hours of Pre-Work which must be completed before Day 1 of the program. Once enrolled, students can complete the Pre-Work at their own pace.</p><p>To learn more about the program, or to register, visit <a href='https://dcad.edu/programs-of-study/professional-studies/'>https://dcad.edu/programs-of-study/professional-studies/</a>.</p><p>To learn more about DCAD and to celebrate their 25th Anniversary, visit <a href='https://dcad.edu/25-years/'>https://dcad.edu/25-years/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217322/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><br/><br/>The Delaware Division of the Arts, a branch of the Delaware Department of State, is committed to supporting the arts and cultivating creativity to enhance the quality of life in Delaware.

In each of the four curriculum modules, you will develop key skills through a combination of lectures, labs, group work, and individual assignments.</p><p>The accelerated online course is 12 weeks, full-time (9 a.m. – 6 p.m. EST) plus approximately 20 hours of weekly self-study. Graduates of this course will be equipped for a wide-range of entry-level product design roles and will receive twelve 30-minute one-on-one individualized career coaching sessions. Each cohort is limited to 20 students. Pre-requisite includes 30-40 hours of Pre-Work which must be completed before Day 1 of the program. Once enrolled, students can complete the Pre-Work at their own pace.</p><p>To learn more about the program, or to register, visit <a href='https://dcad.edu/programs-of-study/professional-studies/'>https://dcad.edu/programs-of-study/professional-studies/</a>.</p><p>To learn more about DCAD and to celebrate their 25th Anniversary, visit <a href='https://dcad.edu/25-years/'>https://dcad.edu/25-years/</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217322/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><br/><br/>The Delaware Division of the Arts, a branch of the Delaware Department of State, is committed to supporting the arts and cultivating creativity to enhance the quality of life in Delaware.

She works primarily in acrylics and charcoal, and has also created community murals, digital works and figurative sculptures. Palmer earned a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. She has exhibited nationally as well as internationally in Spain, Germany, and China. Palmer has lived all around the globe, and is interested in capturing the unique spirit of each location that she experiences.</p><p>As a portrait artist, Palmer continues to use art to initiate communication – “my subject becomes my partner in conversation.”  Much of her work has been portraiture of others, including a pandemic quarantine series of coloring-book portraits made “to create community from a safe distance.” But her Fellowship drawings feature Palmer as “my own subject, exploring how my identity has been altered by living with chronic migraine.” This work gifted the artist with a new type of community: “It has been affirming to have positive feedback from others who have reached out to me as fellow sufferers.”</p><p>Her exhibit <em>Making the Invisible, Visible</em>, is currently on display at the Mezzanine Gallery at the Carvel State Office Building in Wilmington, DE until Friday, November 25.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Andy Truscott speaks with Don Foster, a 2019 Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellow in the field of fiction literature.</p><p>Don Foster grew up “in a small farm town where people rode four-wheelers, practiced duck calls, and burned trash.” He’s been a resident of Dover for thirteen years now, but his uncles and cousins are carpenters, farmers and watermen in the land of his childhood – Maryland’s Eastern Shore. That still-potent connection with the region and its denizens continues to fuel his vivid short stories. Foster’s writing gets much of its juice from “stories overheard in the garage where my dad worked or by tales exaggerated at the dinner table during family gatherings.” Since his sister is ten years older, in many ways the writer grew up like an only child, playing outdoors in the woods and mentally banking the tall tales that he still draws on for material.</p><p>Writers and artists have a challenging life, but “it’s especially tough for those that don’t work in academic settings. We’re often marooned out here, living on our own.” So Foster is especially excited for the recognition and collegiality that the Fellowship brings. Division activities will allow him to connect with fellow artists “no matter what medium they work in.” And though he always has “a novel on the back burner, at the heart of things I know I’m a short story writer.” The award will enable him to buy a new computer and set a new goal – the 2020 publication of a story collection.</p><p>Don’s most recent published novel, “Only the Lucky” is available now on Amazon.com and is summarised as:</p><blockquote><em>Life doesn’t always work out for the working class in this debut collection of fiction. In “Shorty Knows Bugs,” a pest control salesman escapes to the bar to avoid his morbidly obese wife only to be confronted by the child he abandoned twenty years ago. In “Younger and More Capable Men,” a grieving father can’t finish his beer without being interrupted by an old friend needing a place to stash stolen macaws. And in the collection’s title story, an unemployed preacher with a gambling problem tries his hand at becoming a lifestylepreneur with terrible repercussions. Sometimes poignant, and often hilarious, these eight stories examine a hardscrabble cast hanging on the fringes as they try to navigate loss and the connections they’ve shattered along the way.</em></blockquote><p>To learn more about Don, or to purchase his newest novel, visit <a href='http://www.donfosterwriter.com/'>www.DonFosterWriter.com</a>.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217322/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><br/><br/>The Delaware Division of the Arts, a branch of the Delaware Department of State, is committed to supporting the arts and cultivating creativity to enhance the quality of life in Delaware.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Andy Truscott speaks with Molly Giordano and Margaret Winslow about The Delaware Art Museum’s upcoming exhibitions, their work with the Arts Equity and Innovation Incubator, and what success for the museum looks like long term.<br/><br/>Since the Museum’s renovation and expansion in the early 2000s, the contemporary collection has grown rapidly, adding more than 1,000 works by artists such as Tom Otterness, George Rickey, Toshiko Takaezu, Anne Truitt, James Turrell, Jack Whitten, and Peter Williams. In 2008, the Museum was the recipient of a major gift from The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: Fifty Works for Fifty States program. Comprised of 50 works of art by artists such as Lynda Benglis, Robert Mangold, and Richard Tuttle, the gift of conceptual and minimal art strengthened the Museum’s ability to tell the story of contemporary American art. Additionally, the Museum began hosting and organizing more contemporary exhibitions highlighting the work of both regional and national artists, including its popular Outlooks Exhibition Series.<br/><br/></p><p>Throughout the last decade, the Museum has been strategically focused on acquiring more works by women artists and artists of color. Recent acquisitions include Chakaia Booker’s One Way (2008), the first sculpture by an African American artist to be added to the Copeland Sculpture Garden, and Hank Willis Thomas’ Black Survival Guide, or How to Live Through a Police Riot (2018), a commissioned work that became a catalyst for dialogue during the city-wide reflection on the 1968 occupation of Wilmington by the National Guard. Launched in 2019 with The Loper Tradition: Paintings by Edward Loper, Sr. and Edward Loper, Jr, the Distinguished Artist Series celebrates those artists who have impacted contemporary art in the greater Wilmington area. The Series surveys the artists’ legacies as they relate to local, national, and international artistic trends.<br/><br/></p><p>To learn more about the Delaware Art Museum, visit <a href='https://delart.org/'>https://delart.org/</a>.<br/><br/>Producing Credit: Quinn Kirkpatrick</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2217322/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><br/><br/>The Delaware Division of the Arts, a branch of the Delaware Department of State, is committed to supporting the arts and cultivating creativity to enhance the quality of life in Delaware.
