Check out the sign displaying the latest rendering of the new home of the Virginia Arts Festival, the Clay and Jay Barr Education Center, located in the heart of downtown Norfolk at Charlotte and Bank Streets, adjacent to Chrysler Hall.
Named for philanthropists Clay and Jay Barr, Clay says, “My dream of a Virginia Arts Festival building and my desire to honor my late husband, a lifelong champion of our community and the arts, led me to spearhead this effort.”
The Festival’s new home will play an exceedingly critical role in the area’s cultural landscape. Specifically, the facility will serve as an education center for year-round Festival education efforts, as a rehearsal studio for both local and Festival artist-in-residence ensembles, and as a permanent office space for the Virginia Arts Festival staff.
The building plans include state of the art rehearsal space for dance, theater and music.
Naming opportunities are still available. To join the excitement, please call (757) 282-2821.
Here are two images of the sign in case you haven't yet seen it. It fronts on Charlotte Street and can be seen from that side of Chrysler Hall. When you are next at Chrysler Hall or Scope, please check it out!
