Since opening our doors in 1986, d’Art has grown alongside this city by offering free and accessible programs and exhibitions, and by creating space for people to create, learn, and enjoy art together. Through growth, change, and resilience, our mission has remained the same: to make the visual arts welcoming and accessible to all.
Today, d’Art is a vibrant community hub in the NEON District, presenting nationally curated exhibitions, youth and adult classes, summer camps, and public programs that serve thousands of visitors each year, all with free admission.
As we look ahead to our next chapter, our focus is on building capacity, expanding access, and ensuring that d’Art continues to be a place where artists are supported and the community can gather, learn, and be inspired for generations to come.
Club Cultivate was created in partnership with the City of Norfolk and the Nourish the City Grant. This grant exists to provide non-profits funding in order to organize and create Urban Agriculture spaces that will provide access to nutritious foods and address food insecurity throughout the city of Norfolk.
The goal of Club Cultivate is to prepare and care for spaces that encourage the growth, development, and improvement of community members’ lives and relationships by way of Urban Agriculture. Garden experience or plant knowledge are not required, but are welcome! Training and workshops will be provided.
Team members should commit to at least two (2) Club Cultivate work days per month and attend quarterly training sessions.
Let’s show Norfolk how NEON celebrates Bike Month! Get on your bike for the one and only nighttime ride in the NEON District! Meet at 8:00pm at The Plot in your best glow in the dark clothes, bike gear, gloves or shoes, with flashing lights and glow sticks. Free Bike Month t-shirts to riders. We roll at 8:30! No registration required. We love to ride with families and kiddos! However, training wheels and little legs (under 5) might not be able to make the entire 5-mile route. If you need a shorter route for your family, please find a volunteer on arrival at the Plot to assist with a detour. Glow Ride is an organized ride for Norfolk Bike Month facilitated by the City of Norfolk and Downtown Norfolk. Final route to be posted before the ride. Children 14 years old and younger are required to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Although it is not required, it is highly recommended that all cyclists wear helmets.
Cities of the Future invites you to step into the future and discover the exciting innovations engineers are working on right now to help meet the challenges of a changing world. Renewable energy will be our primary power source; solar energy beamed down from space will power entire cities; smart buildings and greener infrastructure will keep us cool; and we will travel on aerial highways in individualized pods that run on little or no energy. We will also ride in electric flying vehicles! Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. This isn’t science fiction. This is the world engineers are designing right now. Travel to some of the world’s greatest cities—from Amsterdam to Los Angeles to Singapore and more—where profound change is already happening and meet the engineers and visionaries whose human ingenuity is forging a brighter, more sustainable future for us all.
Narrated by critically acclaimed actor John Krasinski, Cities of the Future is produced by MacGillivray Freeman Films in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers, the same award-winning team that created the blockbuster film Dream Big: Engineering Our World
Daily showtimes are at 11 AM & 2:15 PM.
Cities of the Future will play in the Brock Theater on the third floor of Nauticus every day. Watch the trailer.
Run time: 45 minutes. Great for all ages.

On the Main Stage at the Wells Theatre
Jazz at The Wells goes big.
For the first time, Jazz at The Wells moves from the Tazewell Lounge to the Wells Theatre main stage for a full-scale Big Band concert featuring the Tidewater Winds Jazz Big Band.
This 25-member ensemble brings the golden age of swing to life with bold brass, tight rhythms, and timeless favorites from the Great American Songbook. Under the direction of Maestro John Brewington, the Big Band delivers music made famous by legends like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Tony Bennett, and Nat King Cole, along with Broadway hits, film music, and fresh arrangements that keep the sound vibrant and alive.
Joining the band are acclaimed vocalists Danielle Roby and Frank Cubillo, whose powerhouse performances add style, charm, and classic crooner energy to the evening. Together, they recreate the feel of a grand jazz concert where the music fills the room and every seat feels part of the moment.
As Resident Artists at venues like the Sandler Center for the Arts and Zeiders American Dream Theater, Tidewater Winds is known across Hampton Roads for performances that honor America’s musical traditions while welcoming audiences of all ages.
If you’ve enjoyed Jazz at The Wells before, this is the elevated, can’t-miss version. If you haven’t, this is the perfect place to start.

Family in Focus Wendy Schofer, MD presents Panties in a Twist! Sponsored by The Collective Tattoo & Body Piercing and FLOW Massage & Body Work.
Panties in a Twist: The All-Women Comedy Show is back and taking over the historic Wells Theatre for TWO nights only!
This is not just a comedy show. It is a full-blown comedy event. A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud mix of sketch, characters, and chaos, written, directed, and starring Hampton Roads’ funniest women.
Yes, it is a show by women, but it is for everyone. Big, bold, smart, ridiculous comedy that hits from every angle and does not hold back.
For over a decade, this show has become a can’t-miss tradition, selling out theaters, packing houses, and leaving audiences buzzing long after the curtain call. Now it returns to one of the biggest stages in Norfolk.
If you have seen it before, you already know. This is the show people talk about all year.
If you have not, this is the one you do not want to hear about secondhand.
“Whose Line…” Style Improv Comedy in Norfolk!
Get ready for short-form improv comedy in the style of “Whose Line is it Anyway?” at the Push Comedy Theater. And we’re bringing out the best of the best to give you the laughs you deserve. Throughout the show, we’ll gather your suggestions of celebrities, locations, relationships, quirks, and so much more…we’ll take care of the rest. Who knows…we might even need your help on stage at some point, so stay sharp!
Whether it’s a friendly night out or something fun for a date, our all-stars will make your night memorable. We’ll use your ideas as starting points and for a few minutes, we’ll create crazy scenarios and unforgettable characters along the way. You might see an unlikely match on The Dating Game. Or one person play four different roles in a round of Survivor. There’s even a chance you might see someone recite Shakespeare on the International Space Station. You never know what you’ll see when our all-stars are together.
So join us for a night of fun and laughs you’ll be talking about for a long time. And maybe you’ll end up with a new game to play at your next get-together or party.
