With a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the City of Wilmington and Cityfest have completed a street mural on Clifford Brown Walk as part of the Bloomberg Asphalt Art Initiative. The award is to improve street and pedestrian safety, revitalize and beautify underutilized public space, and promote collaboration and civic engagement in communities. Painted by artist Bruce Gulick and community volunteers including Arts Work apprentices, the mural celebrates the legacy of jazz musician Clifford Brown and Wilmington’s rich musical history.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the mural’s purpose is to encourage pedestrian safety and traffic flow on Clifford Brown Walk between 15th and 16th Street. The project facilitates increased foot traffic due to concerts and events held at the Tina Betz Urban Artist Exchange and has led to improved and ongoing safety measures for the street. A grand reveal and community reception will be held in May 2025.
