Join us in celebrating the third anniversary of LaFate Gallery, a space that has inspired, educated and most importantly, celebrated the beauty of cultural diversity.
Located within the LOMA district at 227 N Market St, LaFate Gallery has become a community staple, providing workshops, painting classes and art for purchase. Within the three years of the gallery's existence Eunice LaFate, owner of the shop has impacted hundreds of lives with her bubbly personality and gift of creativity.
LaFate has immersed herself in teaching and helping people of all ages and races, which is why her creative spirit shows itself in folk art that emphasizes the beauty of human diversity and the importance of cultural heritage.
Her anniversary art sale on September 30th from 1-6 PM will be a benefit show featuring 25% off all original paintings. Attendees are requested to register at eunicelafate@gmail.com

If you are looking to live downtown you are in luck, Wilmington's latest luxury community is now open and it boasts so many amenities, you may never need to leave.
The Residences at Mid-town Park features unparalleled amenities the Delaware market has not yet seen including a demonstration kitchen, a bike share program, and a dog washing station.
The list doesn't end there, residents have access to an exclusive clubhouse , a fitness center, screening room, and a private courtyard with a swimming pool, barbecue area, and outdoor fireplace. Garage parking is available directly underneath the community for an additional fee.
The community features studios, one and two bedroom apartments with open floor plans, quartz counter-tops and high end finishes throughout. Located just steps away from Market Street, entertainment, restaurants and shopping are right outside your doorstep by taking a short walk down the brand new beautifully lit Burton Place.
Burton Place Passageway commemorates an important ruling in civil rights history. The new road between the two Mid-town Park apartment buildings, which gives access to the parking garage, is named after former Wilmington City Councilman William H. "Dutch" Burton. Mr. Burton was denied service at the onsite Eagle Coffee Shop in 1958 and the case was taken all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Burton. An exclusive dedication event celebrating the historical significance of Burton Place will be held in the near future, complete with the permanent installation of a commemorative plaque.
If you are interested in calling Mid-town home, act quickly, these apartments were 1/3 of the way leased prior to their grand opening! Visit http://residencesatmidtownpark.com for leasing information.
