Bash at the Blue Ball Barn to Feature the Art of Steve Lewis

WILMINGTON, Del. – The Blue Ball Barn at Alapocas Run State Park will host the Bash at the Blue Ball Barn from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 30. This special program will celebrate the art and recall memories of late local folk artist Steve Lewis, whose works are part of Delaware State Parks’ Contemporary Folk Art Collection at the Blue Ball Barn. 

The evening will feature both silent and live auctions, live entertainment and food and refreshments. Tickets are $35 per person, and all proceeds benefit the Blue Ball Barn’s Contemporary Folk Art Collection. Reservations are required by calling 302-577-1164. 

Lewis’ work focuses on baseball and includes abstract, multi-media pieces that can be characterized as “Salvage Art.” 

The Blue Ball Barn is located off of Route 202 (Concord Pike) and is easily accessible from I-95 and other major roadways. Park entrance fees are in effect.
