Read this featured article by Norfolk Arts grantee, WHRO to learn more about the gallery.

On view through April 3, 2026 to patrons during ticketed performances. Open to the public during Arts at the Attucks Free events. Find upcoming events on the Seven Venues Website.

For the first time on 10/10/25, the Attucks expanded to include visual art, bringing together the performing and visual arts in a single, transformative space. We are proud to present Black Voices and Visions, the inaugural exhibition of The Gallery at the Attucks, a group show spotlighting the vision, power, and imagination of Black artists with connections to Hampton Roads. The exhibition debuted during the Old Dominion University Literary Festival and a new dance by Christal Brown and INSPIRIT dance company, inspired by the poetry of Norfolk based poet and educator, Remica Bingham-Risher from her acclaimed collection What We Ask of Flesh.

Black visual artists living, working, or connected to Hampton Roads in some way, were invited to apply to be a part of this landmark exhibition.

60 original works of art were selected by Joan Rhodes-Copeland, curator and owner of Aspire Gallery Church St. Artwork was installed by Dorothy Coakley. Most all of the pieces that are on display are available for purchase. Gallery takes no commission. For inquiries, contact artists directly via email at the address below or dm them on Instagram.
