"We chose Rita partly because I think she'll be able to reach a segment of the communi­ ty that we haven't been able to reach before, particularly Hispanic women," she said. "Also, she's been in show busi­ ness for more than 20 years, and she's got a lot of experience to share with us." Terry Foreman, fine art chair­ woman, said the DWC will also be presenting its traditional Fine Arts Show, exhibiting the eclectic artwork of six local women. The artwork will be available for public viewing from Feb. 27 to March 13 in the Newark Art Alliance's new location at the Grainery Station on Elkton Road, she said. The grand opening of both the exhibit and gallery is sched­ uled for 4 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 27, Foreman said, and will feature a poetry reading by Delaware Poet Laureate and university English professor Fleda Brown. Brown will be reading a spe­ you are here: priceless cial poem she was commissioned to write for the DWC's anniver­ sary, she said, as well as a few of her other original works. Titled "Women Who Create," this year's art show will feature a mix of oil paintings, jewelry, pho­ tography, lithographs, watercolors and silk paintings, Foreman said. Art department chair Virginia Bradley, who served as juror for the submitted art, said she tried to choose the most visually exciting work as well as the most techni­ cally proficient.
