It's party time at The Delaware Contemporary

The Delaware Contemporary -- the art museum at 200 S. Madison St. in Wilmington -- is ready to party.

The state’s only contemporary art museum, which changed its name from Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts in 2015, will host The Contemporary Gala Saturday from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Baltimore’s In the Dark Circus Arts will put on a blacklight aerial performance and Southern New Jersey musical duo Unplugged Lights will also perform a set.

In addition, there will be an exhibition and auction of selected works by both emerging and established artists, along with a silent auction.

A Tuscan table will be paired with slider, pasta and dessert stations with late night snacks rolled out at the end. There will also be an open bar.
