Barraud Park continues to be a beloved space, undergoing a $4.5 million facelift to improve accessibility and parking, while preserving its historical charm. As a gathering place for both recreation and community events, it remains a vital part of Norfolk’s cultural landscape.

THEME/STYLE: The proposed theme for public art at Barraud Park envisions a series of interconnected artworks that reflect the park’s rich history and its significance to the Norfolk community. These pieces should be healing, offering space for reflection on both the struggles and triumphs experienced there. They will showcase the park’s role in overcoming segregation, celebrating resilience, and honoring moments of joy and unity.
The artworks should be interwoven, creating a visual journey that ties together different stories, from local athletes to cultural events. Each piece will build on the others, telling a larger narrative. Thought-provoking and symbolic, the art should inspire reflection on the past while encouraging optimism for the future, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to heal and unite the community.

SIZE/MEDIUM: The artworks at Barraud Park will be viewed by pedestrians, so the scale should vary to create an engaging experience—some pieces could be small and intimate, inviting personal reflection, while others might be larger and more commanding, drawing the attention of those across the park. The mediums should be chosen with durability in mind, ensuring that they can withstand the elements and the passage of time. Materials such as weather-resistant metal, stone, ceramics, or durable mixed media will be considered. The size and medium should balance aesthetic appeal with the park’s natural landscape, allowing the art to blend harmoniously with the environment while still standing out as powerful expressions of the community’s history and resilience.

Barraud Park, a cornerstone of Norfolk’s history, has long played a vital role in the community. Officially opened in August 1928, it was the first park funded by the city to serve the African American community during the Jim Crow era. Named after Alfred V. Barraud, who donated part of his land, the park’s name carries a complicated legacy. The Barraud family, successful merchants who worked with George Washington and shipped goods to England, also reportedly offered rewards for the capture of runaway slaves, leading to questions about the park’s name and its symbolism. This conflict highlights the struggle of reconciling historical progress with painful legacies.

Designed with beautiful landscaping, open spaces, and recreational areas, Barraud Park has evolved into a hub for community life. It features an amphitheater, basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, and baseball areas. For Arthur Ashe, the legendary tennis player and civil rights advocate, it was the only place in Norfolk where Black players could practice during segregation. The park’s significance as a space for racial integration in sports remains a powerful part of its history.

For decades, Barraud Park was also home to a successful boxing program that nurtured talent, including Keyshawn Davis, the current world lightweight boxing champion. The park’s boxing center, which helped train Olympians like Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, was instrumental in developing young Black athletes. Coach Gloria Peek, a trailblazer for women in boxing, also made history as the first woman to coach male boxers at the Olympics in 2012.

The Lakkos Artist Residency is a base for creatives to explore an authentic Greece city and a wonderful Greek island. The residency has just relocated to a new location that like the previous one needs a bit of an art injection. It’s a small area in Heraklion’s Old Town that time has not touched.

Duration of residency: Minimum two weeks

Open to artists internationally

All creative people are welcome to apply for a stay at the residency. The residency can accommodate a maximum of 2 artists (partners possible on request) at one time.
