Every day, Wilmington’s Creative District is growing "“ growing with new creative people making, living, working and innovating in spaces and places that are nourishing their creative spirit and enhancing our city’s reputation as an exciting place to be. As part of a national wave of creative placemaking initiatives that seek to transform urban areas, the Creative District encompasses the area bounded by Fourth, Ninth, Market and Washington Streets. And, with the active engagement of a variety of partners from the private and public sectors, the Creative District will continue the momentum of LOMA and Market Street, pushing interest and investment further West toward Quaker Hill and West Center City.
