Class Description:
Join d’Art Associate Artist Jenn Hilliard in this highly requested new Workshop Series! You’ll work with Jenn in a group setting with individual instruction given as needed where you can explore your beginner skills of sketching or begin to expand and refine an intermediate skill level.

Session 1: For the first class in this series, the class as a whole will use a provided image as a reference. The goal for this exercise is to learn how to line up your eye with your hand and draw what you see.

Session 2: During the second session, students will reproduce any image they choose. Again, the aim is to coordinate the hand and eye to create a coherent image. The class will also vote on a location suitable for drawing from life for the final session.

Session 3: For the final class you’ll meet up at the chosen location (not d’Art) to draw what you see from live surroundings. The aim is to have a finished piece or well laid-out image.

Supplies:
2b pencils
11×14 drawing pads

From Ashes to New

Every Thursday
November 2 2025

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

In a small town, you either die where you came from or dream your way out. From Ashes To New understand this choice. As such, the Lancaster, PA band—Matt Brandyberry [rap vocals, keys, synths, programming, guitar], Danny Case [clean & unclean vocals], Lance Dowdle [lead guitar], and Mat Madiro [drums]—churn out an anthemic hybrid of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative with enough energy to inspire you to get up, move forward, and maybe even, make a change. Since 2013, the group have risen from humble beginnings to the top of the 21st century rock vanguard with hundreds of millions of streams, sold out shows across the country, and acclaim from LoudWire, Alternative Press, and more.

 

“Growing up in Elizabethtown, PA felt hopeless in a way,” admits Matt. “You go to college and become part of corporate America, or you’re just “trash”.  For the longest time, I fell into the latter category according to other people. My mentality was, ‘Who are these people to fucking tell me what I’m going to do with my life?’ They don’t make my decisions; I make decisions for myself. It took a lot of ups and downs, but it’s paying off. I owe it to the small town blue-collar mentality that made me work harder. Danny grew up in Rochester, but his story is the same. We were the loners picked last. Everyone underestimated us. We fought through it for all of our lives, and we’re going to be picked first now.”

 

“I was always an outcast who nobody gave a shit about,” agrees Danny. “The only thing I ever dreamt of was music. Like the other guys in From Ashes to New, nobody was going to tell me otherwise or stop me.”

 

During 2021, the musicians holed up in Lancaster with longtime collaborators and producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak to create their upcoming album.  This time around, the band made a conscious decision to ignore outside influences and focus on what makes them From Ashes To New.

 

“We weren’t going to let other people tell us what to do,” affirms Danny. “We went back to the guys who produced us for a long time, because they worked cohesively with us.”

 

“We got back to the days of creating music to simply create,” adds Matt. “We ended up making the most genuine piece of art we could. At the same time, we applied everything we’ve learned as musicians, producers, and writers. We knew we were capable of doing everything bigger and better.”

Hippie Sabotage

Every Thursday
October 31 2025

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

Hippie Sabotage is a Sacramento born, LA based production duo made up of brothers Kevin & Jeff Saurer. The duo got their start as bedroom producers in middle school after obsessing over the music used in their favorite skateboarding videos. In 2014, Hippie Sabotage skyrocketed to #1 on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart after releasing their remix of Tove Lo’s ‘Habits (Stay High)’ (752M YouTube Plays) and have since surpassed over 1 Billion Spotify Streams. In 2019, Hippie Sabotage performed at festivals like Austin City Limits, Made In America, Day N Vegas, Bumbershoot, Electric Forest, Corona Capital, Splash House and more. Their sound is rooted in electronic music, but it takes cues from hip hop, psych rock, and chill wave, all pulled together by Jeff’s killer guitar skills and Kevin’s explosive personality on stage.

Rico Nasty

Every Thursday
October 10 2025

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

Always the rap world’s biggest rock star, Rico Nasty is known for her own particular brand of rage-rap and for her outrageous on-stage, online, volume-up persona. But as she grew up, she started to feel trapped by the character she created. LETHAL, her latest album out now on Fueled by Ramen, is a reckoning of who Rico is at 28 with the trap-pop teen persona she created more than a decade ago.
