Saturday, April 25th – Saturday, May 30th, 2026
On Point! is an exhibition of artworks that showcase contemporary embroidery from across the country. Today’s embroidery artists are pushing the boundaries of traditional needlework techniques by combining them with new and creative methods proving that embroidery should no longer be considered a purely functional and decorative craft. Works in this exhibit may utilize other materials in the work, but the clear focal point and star of the work should be the embroidery component(s).
This exhibition will take place in our smaller exhibition space, The Vault, to create a more intimate and close up experience for our patrons. The Vault is a historical bank vault within The Center, and gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a unique space in the heart of Norfolk’s Arts District (The NEON District). This will be a competitive call as this intimate space will only be able to accommodate about 25 works.
