Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed their support at The Unveiling of The Courtyard at Dover and the "Taking Up Space" mural dedication! 🌳🎨

We had a wonderful time celebrating with our community partners, city leaders, local artists, local business owners, and Chelsea residents as we weclomed the new era of this space. The renovations in the courtyard include new concrete and pavers, installed electric, a stage for performances, and the new "Taking Up Space" mural by Amanda Auble and Herman Acosta in partnership with the Atlantic City Arts Foundation.

Thank you to our friends at NRTC and CRDA for their ongoing support, to Brewberry Cafe for the wonderful food and drinks, to Natalie and Maya for the great live music, and to the Atlantic City Arts Foundation and featured artists for bringing the arts to life in the courtyard.

With the activation of this space, residents and visitors will have a refreshed space to visit local businesses, eat lunch in the park, enjoy a morning coffee, and be a part of more community events. We are excited for this next chapter!
