Fire Chief John Looney notes that while fireworks are a fun and exciting part of Independence Day\, they can also be quite dangerous – sparklers\, for example\, burn at a temperature of 1\,200 F. Like Chief Tracy\, Chief Looney strongly encourages everyone to leave fireworks to the experts\, keeping in mind the serious injuries that fireworks in the wrong hands can cause\, including burns\, lacerations\, eye injuries\, hearing loss\, and the loss of fingers. The State Fire Marshal’s Office reports there were twenty-four fires and eleven injuries blamed on fireworks in Delaware in 2020\, which is up from seven fires and two injuries in 2019 and thirteen fires and two injuries in 2018. Most injuries occur around the July Fourth holiday.

The City of Wilmington\, city residents and people from around the region\, nation\, and world are preparing for the annual festival that highlights the life and musical achievements of one of the most brilliant trumpet players\, innovative composers and dynamic entertainers. \nThe multi-day celebration of the music\, culture\, and art of jazz takes place in Wilmington’s Rodney Square\, located just a few short blocks away from “Brownie’s” childhood home and features jazz artists from all over the world. \nThe mission of the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival is to expose\, inspire\, and entertain a diverse audience of Jazz aficionados\, young Jazz enthusiasts and aspiring musicians to the rich heritage and variety of Jazz as an authentic form of American music.

SUMMARY:Urban Artist Exchange
DESCRIPTION:The former Wilmington Police Department mounted patrol horse stables and the Urban Environmental Center have transformed into the Urban Artists Exchange (UAE) — an arts-based community development center engage and employ young urban artists by offering hands-on education initiatives. Additionally\, UAE provides quality\, affordable art-making\, exhibits\, and creative small business space to traditionally underrepresented emerging and established artists who have demonstrated a commitment to the City of Wilmington\, thereby creating a dynamic and engaging creative space for artists\, people who live and work in and around Wilmington\, and visitors.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUAE is Wilmington’s first major “Creative Placemaking” project. The term Creative Placemaking has been defined as “the use of arts and culture by diverse partners to strategically shape the physical and social character of a place in order to spur economic development\, promote enduring social change\, and improve the physical environment.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhase 1 of this project was the conversion of the decades-long abandoned Wilmington Police Department horse stables into eight art creation and teaching studios\, and a group exhibition/gathering area. Phase 1 was completed in Summer of 2019 with the Inaugural Arts Work program commencing days after. Future phases of the UAE are envisioned to include an open-seat amphitheater with an integrated wastewater management system\, an outdoor public art exhibition\, and environmentally sustainable landscaping.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UAE is located at 1500 Walnut Street in Wilmington’s Eastside Brandywine Historic District\, which is one of the city’s traditional African-American communities. African Americans comprise approximately 95% of the Eastside community compared to about 58% citywide. The estimated median eastside family income is approximately $17\,273 (2017 ACS)\, far below the national median income of approximately $57\,652 (2017 ACS).  Urban Artists Exchange will establish the historic former Old City Stables as a distinctive destination\, contiguous to historic sites such as Clifford Brown Gardens and outdoor listening room\, Howard Vo-tech formerly Howard High School\, and the new Clifford Brown Loft Apartments.
