Jester Artspace, Inc.

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

We provide arts workshops and classes to the community while providing fair-paying teaching opportunities for local artists. We provide gallery space and events for artists to showcase their work for the enjoyment of the public.

We are a nonprofit organization that restored the 200-year-old Jester Farmhouse, for local artists of all disciplines and skill levels to use as meeting, working, and gallery space. We partnered with New Castle County in 2015, to renovate the property. In turn, 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 at 2818 Grubb Road, which is among the oldest colonial-era trade routes in the mid-Atlantic U.S.
