I am so proud of the talent that is growing in Downtown Wilmington and the number of artists who are using downtown as the canvas on which to create their art.

Richard Raw is a dynamic musician and performer who has performed at events sponsored by Downtown Visions, who teaches young people throughout the region, and who makes a difference in our community.

Ivan Thomas is a talented filmmaker who offers valuable information through DETV.

Here's a video Ivan filmed and edited featuring Richard's newest song - filmed in and around Wilmington.

I am proud of the diverse talent we have in Downtown Wilmington.
