JESTER ARTSPACE

Jester Artspace engages, inspires, and connects our community through the arts.

Jester Artspace is an essential local resource that generates creative energy by providing opportunities for all people to engage with one another and explore the arts. Our unique history and presence in the Brandywine Hundred is valued and supported by our actively involved community.

We partnered with New Castle County, in 2015, to renovate the historic Jester Farmhouse, for local artists of all disciplines and skill levels to use as meeting, working, and gallery space. We now operate the house in a manner of direct benefit to the surrounding community. The Jester Farmhouse was deemed to be of significant historic value to the people of New Castle County. Its core stone walls were one of the few remaining modest pre-Civil War farmsteads that were once common in Northern Delaware. The house sits amid 30 acres of original farmland that has been preserved as a passive park.
