From the Sea to the Stars
April 22 – June 17, 2023
Reception: April 29, 2023 | 3-5pm
Hampton, the coastal town formed on July 9, 1610, has a multi-generational legacy of history and culture. Whether celebrated in the Air with the first aeronautical laboratory in the country, or the Sea with our continuously operating working shoreline, the Visual Arts Center is excited to explore that longstanding reputation in this curated exhibition From the Sea to the Stars. With the title taken from the city’s motto, this exhibition will showcase how our regions talented artists interpret From the Sea to the Stars in the significance of their artwork. A variety of mediums will explore motifs from the representational to the abstract. This exhibition celebrates how the simplicity of a city moto can reach across geographical and artistic boundaries to touch on the economic, creative, and place-making impact Hampton offers to all Coastal Virginia.
