We attended the Norfolk Glass Circuit Event Sunday, March 29, and it was fantastic!! We had the opportunity to create charms with various beads. We even had fairy hair done by Chelsea! She did a wonderful job of putting a little sparkle in our hair! We also had our caricatures done by another talented artist, who hails from VB and graduated from VCU Arts!! We enjoyed the crafts and watching the artists perform! We are so lucky to have the d'Art Center in our community!! It gives everyone the opportunity to learn and grow and to allow their creativity to thrive!! Highly recommend this place for anyone interested in tapping into their inner creativity!!

This review is specific to the ' SPCA pet portrait art class'…read more First of all, it was a fun morning. The artist in residence was very professional, polite and not once discouraged any participant, and was readily and eager available to assist when required or asked. Best of all, I had fun and came home with a portrait of my puppy.

My friend and I stumbled across this treasure trove of (literal) trash crafted into art on the…read moresecond floor of MacArthur Mall. We were killing time in the mall before the haunted place downstairs opened. My curiosity grew strong, as I was mesmerized by the colors and weirdness of it. I had to know what this was. It probed me to ask more questions with the urgency to seek answers. The gentleman informed me that it is an immersive art experience. I am a sucker for some immersive art. The seller for me was him being so straight faced and his dedicated commitment to convincing me that he was possibly a resident or may have had a friend that was from Garbage Town. It was either going to be $10 of très cool or a $10 regret. You will be advised to read the signs, which we did and you should too if you choose this mission to visit Garbage Town. Trust me, it will enhance the experience and make everything more clear. It is a macabre satire of the world's wasteful attitude. The world's inadequate collection of trash and improper disposal is portrayed in the installations. It forces one to open their eyes because the sizable amount of trash you're meandering through is right in front of you, not hidden out of sight. Garbage Town is where the rejected and excluded reside, a place where the "no longer wanted " inhabit. It brings to light the social injustices and issues that arise from this "throw away" mentality. There were installations that were quite humorous, but sad at the same time because there is truth to it. Garbage Town is a thought provoking experience that is impactful, if even for a moment for some. At the conclusion, you're left to decide whether you will choose to side with the sheep or the goat. The sheep and the goat are purposefully and respectively placed with the sheep on the right and the goat on the left. The sheep brightly lit, the goat placed in the dark among a red stained wall. It is a parable biblical reference to separate the sheep from the goats. In a sarcastic and facetious undertone, there is a small sign stating "it's not that serious -it's only your future". The sheep and goat are symbolic. Choose the sheep, you choose compassion and eternal life, hence the sheep is white and a light is illuminating it. Choose the goat, and you choose eternal judgment because of your choice to be stubborn, evil, & destructive. It's a powerful statement. This experience is deeper than it looks! Perhaps the gentleman, who happens to be the lead of this project wasn't acting after all? Maybe we are all part of the Garbage Town community, but we have not realized it? You might want to pause for some self reflection. Final take, it's a $10 experience that is in actuality, invaluable.

My wife wanted to take some Korean food to our friend who is at the Children's hospital near -by…read moreand saw this Cafe. She went in as we could not find parking so I parked around the corner & waited to come back to pick her up. She liked the vibe and customer service. She got three bibimbap bowls to go. Around $15 per bowl which seems high for the size and no egg on top. The gochujang had a different flavor to it, but not bad. Wife & friend (both Korean) gave the bowls a 3 1/2 to 4. I was at a 3, but that could be some of the parking frustration rolling over into my rating. The wife loved the coffee, said it was amazing so a 5. Overall a solid 4

I decided I would partake in a pumpkin espresso martini it was so good. The restaurant was very busy due to the candle making class I think they need another barista to help. I love the class and I liked my cocktail. The only thing that bothers me is the parking situation for the location. At night it's a little concerning. I look forward to more events hopefully during the weekend daytime. Thank you for hosting such a great event and thanks for an even better cocktail

Most of their sizable pieces are a few hundred dollars, but they also have some prints and posters for those of us with a champagne taste on beer budgets. The staff never minds me just checking out what they have without making purchases. It's a good way to get some visual stimulation and to take in a good dose of art without breaking your piggy bank. Absorbing great art while demonstrating self-restraint is my way rehab as a chronic shopaholic. For you fellow spenders, Harbor Gallery is great therapy.

One of the most interesting art studios I have seen. The owner, Mr. Everna is by far one, if not…read morethe, top arties in Hampton or even the state. His work is so unknown and we are all doing ourselves a GREAT injustice by not visiting his studios. A humble man he is, and has a passion for God, Art, and giving back to the community. His current location is still in the works, however the art is availale for view. I can not begin to describe this place. All I can say is you should visit with an open mind and art. The history I learned by viewing his and other artist work is unexplainable and unbelievable.....the work is so passionate, accurate and will have you leaving with a sense of love for are that you have never experienced before. He and his artist love what they do and are passionate in sharing it with the world. Please, if you are ever in Hampton, and you're inspired to see some unknown, art, history and culture of this country. Go and visit his studios. You will not be disappointed. Be sure and tell him that Vance and Inez sent you. I hope he remembers me. Oh, take your kids. They will be highly satisfied.
