The City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) have partnered to transform the former Tidewater Gardens public housing community in the St. Paul’s area into a mixed-use, mixed-income community of the future – an economically vibrant, environmentally resilient place where people of all incomes, backgrounds, ages, and cultures can live, learn, work, play, and thrive.
The St. Paul’s Art Planning Committee has created a pre-qualified list of artists/artist teams to create large-scale, place-making experiences and site-responsive public art as part of the new St. Paul’s Transformation Project over the next two years.
The 1st project will be by local artist Poetry Jackson who will be working together with a mosaic fabricator to create her mural design along a nearby retaining wall. (01/25 = watch for a call for a mosaic fabricator to be shared soon)
Two additional projects are in the works and we will be meeting to select the artists soon from the pre-qualified list established through a call to artists in 2024.
