WILMINGTON (HOLLY QUINN)

Wilmington art space finds a new home

During the times I spent at Creative Vision Factory over the last few months, I’ve met a business student, a construction worker, a photographer, an aspiring technologist and more than one social justice advocate.

Part two of a four-part series on the Wilmington art space, written by me, is up on Technical.ly. In this chapter, meet some of the artists and staff who make the center tick, and some of the challenges they’ve faced.

Entrepreneurs need housing over tax policy

Entrepreneurs don’t choose places to start companies. Entrepreneurs choose places to live, and then start companies where they live.
