Thanks to support from events like this one, each year thousands of children explore history, art, science, social studies, and more at Winterthur or in our after-school programs. Your support helps us expand our educational impact. When traditional field trips became impossible during 2020, we created virtual programs, serving some 3,500 students. And thanks to the generosity of M&T Bank, Winterthur was able to provide the overwhelming majority of those programs to schools for free. TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND SPONSORS OF DELAWARE ANTIQUES SHOW, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Educational programs are supported additionally, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com. 11 16 — 3 —
