The Creative Roots of Wilmington: Indigenous Ingenuity Along the Cape Fear
Wilmington, North Carolina, stands on Indigenous land long inhabited by the Waccamaw and Cape Fear peoples, now known in some communities as the Skarure Woccon. For thousands of years, these river-centered peoples lived along the Cape Fear, Pee Dee, and Waccamaw waterways, shaping their lives around a demanding but generous coastal environment. Their survival depended on deep knowledge, adaptability, and resourcefulness—and it is easy to imagine that such conditions also fostered ingenuity and creative resilience.Posted: 01-18-2026

Twenty Years of Creative Wilmington
In November 2005, Creative Wilmington went live after a couple of intense years of development. I built it through my studio, Modular Graphics & Media, as a response to a very real gap in Wilmington’s cultural infrastructure that opened when the Arts Council of the Lower Cape Fear (ACLCF) closed in 2002. The ACLCF’s absence left a lot of artists and organizations disconnected, and it was clear to me that if we couldn’t gather around a shared physical hub, we needed a digital one—before platforms like Facebook even existed.Posted: 11-17-2025
From Dust to Digital: Unlocking America's Hidden Music Vaults
A vast treasure trove of rare American music spanning jazz, blues, and gospel—some recordings over a century old—is now freely accessible online, thanks to an inspiring collaboration between the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the nonprofit Dust-to-Digital Foundation. This momentous project brings together decades of painstaking work by Lance Ledbetter, founder of Dust-to-Digital, who has been digitizing rare recordings from private collections since the late 1990s to ensure their preservation and public access.Posted: 11-10-2025
Navigating the Decline of the US Art Market: What It Means for Artists in Small Markets Like Wilmington, NC
The US art market has faced a notable downturn recently, with sales declining significantly after a strong post-pandemic recovery. This contraction has been marked by a sharp slowdown in high-end sales, gallery closures in major cities, and a shifting perception of art’s value. But what does this unfolding situation mean for artists working outside the major art capitals, in smaller markets like Wilmington, North Carolina?

Every Noise at Once
Every Noise at Once is a unique music discovery website created by Glenn McDonald, a former Spotify employee. It visually maps thousands of Spotify musical genres in an interactive scatter plot where genres are organized based on sonic characteristics—“mechanical and electronic” sounds appear at the top, while more “organic” acoustic sounds are at the bottom; atmospheric music is on the left, and spiky, bouncy music on the right. Visitors to the site can explore over 6,000 genres, listen to 30-second samples, and dive deeper to discover related artists and playlists, offering a fresh way to uncover niche and global music styles often hidden from mainstream platforms.Posted: 11-04-2025

Since its foundation in 1999, YD-LABS has served as a living experiment in digital art and collective creativity. Conceived by designer Louis Paschoud and developer Peter Holberton, the lab was built around a simple but daring idea: that creative potential flourishes under limitation. By offering pared-down tools and minimal interfaces, YD-LABS invites participants to explore expression in its most direct and unfiltered form.

A New Model for Creative Prosperity: Understanding the Artist Corporation (A-Corp)
The Artist Corporation, or A-Corp, is a new concept introduced by Yancey Strickler, cofounder of Kickstarter, in a recent TED talk. The idea is designed to address the challenges creative people face in making a sustainable living from their work. Strickler points out that traditional business structures like LLCs, S-Corps, or nonprofits don't really fit the way artists and creators work together. The A-Corp is a radical new model that aims to change that by putting artists at the center of their own economic futures.Scroll Index
