The Harbor Gallery

1508 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA 23517 (757) 627-2787

It stands alone from its competition for many reasons. It is a one of a kind gallery, delightfully attractive but unpretentious and user friendly. The cozy gallery becomes even more inviting when a furry cat and dog greet you at the front door.

One Eleven Art Gallery & Studios

111 Pennsylvania Ave, Norfolk, VA 23504 (757) 625-1110

It was the mid 2000′s, as Realtor/Contractor, Precious Metal Dealer, Artist, Reiki Master, Minister and Peace Corps Alumnus, Suzanne had completed many residential rehabs that inspired her to find a commercial building and help it achieve its highest and best use. As a budding artist, she also hoped for a building that could also be used as a place to support CREATIVE interaction with others – a place that would inspire everyone who came through its doors to exercise and reveal more of their inherent gifts. It would be a place that would offer connection to more self-discovery by way of diverse trans-personal venues.
