PUBLIC ART ON PUBLIC STREETS AND PARKING LOTS
In the roads and parking lots surrounding the Virginia Beach Convention Center and Virginia Beach Sports Center, the public can find 22 NEW ARTWORKS commissioned by the ViBe Creative District. The digital artworks were provided by artists from Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, Florida and Lithuania and professionally printed and installed by local sign digital printing experts at The Graphics Shop. The artworks were installed in April 2023. Each digital print includes an artist credit label and QR code.
This project was created in partnership with the City of Virginia Beach Department of Cultural Affairs and funded in part by the Virginia Beach Arts & Humanities Commission.
