Norfolk Arts continues our “Arts at the Attucks” events in 2026, a series of performances by our grantees, made possible by a special Arts Equity Grant awarded by the Norfolk Arts Commission to select non-profit organizations providing quality arts and cultural experiences in Norfolk, VA and the Hampton Roads area throughout the year. Enjoy a new addition to the theatre “The Gallery at the Attucks” managed by Norfolk Arts, on view one hour prior to each performance through 04/03/26.
Now on view through 10/16/26: “Rhythm of the Stage”, featuring over 40+ works of art by artists with a connection to Hampton Roads in response to the themes of movement, pattern and rhythm.
