Schwartz Center for the Arts

The Schwartz Center for the Arts exists to enhance the quality of life for Delawareans by providing a home for the performing arts, educational activities and entertainment. In 2004, a strategic alliance between The Friends of the Capitol Theater, Wesley College, and Delaware State University created a non-profit organization to maximize usage and to position this historic opera house and theater as the premiere performing arts center in central Delaware. The Arsht-Cannon Fund partners with the Schwartz Center for the Arts and the Delaware Hispanic Commission to provide Hispanic Heritage Day, an annual celebration with culturally –based education, cuisine, and entertainment for the Delaware community.
