Mission
Our mission is to provide affordable artists' housing along with the supporting infrastructures that cultivate a Wilmington art community capable of innovative and lasting collaborations with its surroundings.
Program accomplishments
- Operation of a 23-unit low-income apartment building for artists, including making the building's street-level gallery available to tenants.Expenses $507,892 · revenue $302,307
- Pursuant to its mission, CWCDC operates the street-level Chris White Gallery portion of the Project, conducting or facilitating art-related and community events. Since resuming gallery activities in November 2021 after a 20-month hiatus during the COVID pandemic, CWCDC has regularly mounted exhibits of work by local artists and opened them to the public on preannounced occasions and made them available for private showings as well. Unpaid board members and other volunteers manage the gallery and organize events, which may include performance art, or artisan markets, as well as visual exhibits. Curation and set-up of exhibits is contracted with qualified representatives of the local art community on a per-exhibit basis. During 2025 the gallery was open to the public for 25 showings covering 9 different presentations; in 2024 there were 18 showings of 7 presentations. CWCDC earns a below-market commission when art is sold as a result of exhibits. The gallery is also offered to the community for appropriate private events for a nominal cost, resulting in 25 additional showings of art to a different public segment during 2025 and 18 in 2024.Expenses $12,660 · revenue $7,417
