Free and open to the public!\nOpening reception: November 12\, 5-7pm. Exhibition on view October 24 – December 4\, 2026 every day except for Sundays\, Mon.-Thurs. 9am-9pm and Saturdays 9am-2pm. \nVirginia Beach based photographer\, Victor Perrotti is a collector of light. He seeks to find connections between varied juxtaposed elements and attempts to capture those that take the form of oscillating objects yearning for an expansive environment. With an affinity for the natural world\, Victor aims to challenge the viewer to reevaluate their presuppositions and feel what it is like to view things from outside. “I am building a new reality; a reality that is the viewers invitation to introspection.” \nHeather Mitcham is a Virginia Beach based printmaker who finds the process to “nestle snugly into my busy life.” Heather refers to her cyanotypes and paper marblings as “cyano-experiments”. Her process involves a playfulness and unexpectedness that leads to a curiosity driven workflow that produces compelling\, mysterious shapes and patterns that draw the viewer in. As chemical reactions occur and the cyanotype solution is exposed\, moments become frozen within each print.\n\nMichal Mahgerefteh is a Norfolk\, Virginia based mixed media artist and poet whose creative journey spans over two decades in both visual and literary arts. Michal’s work emerges from a place of memory\, movement\, and meditation—often inspired by her Moroccan heritage\, nature’s quiet rhythms\, and the interior landscapes shaped by womanhood\, spirituality\, and resilience. “I blend floral motifs and swirling circular patterns\, layering digital collage with watercolor\, pastel\, and ink. Whether honoring ancestral roots\, capturing the shifting light of a fall afternoon\, or exploring altered states of being\, each piece is a conversation between the seen and the sensed.” URL:https://norfolkarts.net/event/offsite-gallery-at-tcc-vadc-opening-reception-victor-perrotti-heather-mitcham-and-hanna-kirby/ LOCATION:Tidewater Community College Visual Art & Design Center\, 260 Boush Street\, Norfolk\, 23510\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://norfolkarts.net/wp-content/uploads/original-8DCD4309-ACBC-4A61-A7C6-9B29FCAFD944.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Norfolk Arts":MAILTO:publicart@norfolk.gov END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261114T160000 DTSTAMP:20261110T111014 CREATED:20261008T201638Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261008T205601Z UID:10001831-1794657600-1794672000@norfolkarts.net SUMMARY:Gallery at the Attucks open hours 12pm-4pm Free!
