“Polyphonic Culture” with Norfolk, VA local, Patrick Mullins in the lead as Creative Facilitator was a series of 5 meet-ups at the historic Attucks Theatre in Norfolk, VA that culminated in a “Polyphonic Story Slam”. During the workshops, grantees and other invited cultural organizations shared their mission and passion for arts and culture and more. Their time together attributed to several collaborative performances and the programming of FREE events in 2024 at the Attucks Theatre.
Norfolk Arts and our grantees, embrace the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion, knowing that the arts can be the perfect catalyst for understanding and celebrating cultural differences.
“The National Endowment for the Arts is pleased to support a wide range of projects, demonstrating the many ways the arts enrich our lives and contribute to healthy and thriving communities,” said NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD. “These organizations play an important role in advancing the creative vitality of our nation and helping to ensure that all people can benefit from arts, culture, and design.”
Norfolk Arts is a proud recipient of a $20,000 National Endowment for the Arts Grant that has supported this series of interactive seminars for the arts and culture sector.
