Michael Kalmbach, Director of the Creative Vision Factory, had this to say:
"I'm so proud of my team, and so very grateful to the Christina Cultural Arts Center-- their community showered this project with love."

More Beauty Downtown
I think Downtown Wilmington is looking better all the time - and part of that is because of the ongoing facade improvements happening throughout our area.
We just played a part in securing a Main Street Wilmington Façade Program grant of $21,109 for The Delaware Historical Society museum's recently completing restoration of the original façade.
I encourage you to take some time to walk around Downtown Wilmington and see how beautiful the city is.

Theatre N is Back!
Downtown Wilmington is the place for great entertainment - including quality films.
As the News Journal reports - Theatre N is back and under new management:
The 221-seat art house theater will be run by newcomer The Mill, which operates a 12,000-square-foot co-working space on the fourth floor of the Nemours Building. (Theatre N is housed in the Nemours Building at 11th and Tatnall streets in downtown Wilmington.)
The Mill leases the theater from Buccini/Pollin Group and manages it.
Downtown Wilmington-based commercial film firm The Kitchen now markets and advertises the theater.
And Beverly Zimmerman, who ran Theatre N from its 2002 opening until Mayor Williams took office at the beginning of 2013, will return as a curator, selecting which first-run films will be screened.

Come on out and enjoy great entertainment in Downtown Wilmington!
