The Gallery at the Attucks, located within Norfolk’s historic Attucks Theatre, is launching its second major exhibition titled "Rhythm of the Stage." Curated by Nyree Dowdy, the show features over 40 original works by 25 artists from the Hampton Roads region, exploring the intersection of visual art, music, and dance. A public opening reception is scheduled for April 17, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the city's newest dedicated art space.
This exhibition matters as it strengthens the cultural infrastructure of Norfolk by utilizing a historic landmark to support regional artists. By partnering with a fellow from the Chrysler Museum of Art, the initiative bridges the gap between major institutions and community-focused galleries. The show highlights the ongoing revitalization of the Attucks Theatre as a multidisciplinary hub for both performing and visual arts in Virginia.
