ARTISANS ALONG THE AVENUE
JANUARY 29
11 AM - 7 PM

We are bringing our beloved soup and art event to the heart of Norfolk! Come crawl down Norfolk Avenue and experience some of Norfolk’s finest artisans in the culinary and fine arts. We invite you to join us in our biggest fundraising event of the year!
|

Two new exhibitions were hung in the gallery and atrium this past month and the artists were invited to attend a reception to welcome them into the Norfolk Arts Center. This also allowed patrons to interact and find out the background of the artists as well as the story behind the exhibitions.
We welcomed Anastacia Drake and Sally Jurgensmier to the Arts Center. Sally joined us in person and Anastacia joined us through a Zoom call projected on the wall in the Gallery. This was a new experience and gave us insight into working with the technology and will allow us to offer this in the future as well.
Anastacia detailed how her work with layered acrylic took a leap when she worked with a young lady who was losing her eyesight and found a way to share with others how she interacts with the world by touch. Sally shared how she came to work with metal while she was in college and a professor telling her she needed to finally choose a discipline. This led her to take up sculpture and eventually led to metal work.
Exhibitions on display through February 24, 2022
