Ocean View Beach Park
Cheasapeake Bay Art Association
110 Artists
Deadline: September 1
Booth fee: $125
The Art Show is held in the the Ocean View neighborhood, an old established neighborhood with a good mix of homes. The Beach Park is very popular with Norfolk residents, featuring Friday night and Sunday night gatherings all summer long. It is situated along a boardwalk, with beach on one side, lawn on the other.
The Ocean View Art Show is run entirely by local artists, members of the Chesapeake Bay Art Association. The Association was formed in 1961 when 15 artists got together to form a group. The first show was hosted in 1962. The primary reason for the Ocean View Art Show is to support the local artists and provide a venue for our visiting artists.
A couple years ago Norfolk's Mayor, Paul Fraim, visited the show. He was so impressed that he talked about it with the city council. The mayor then called on the cultural affairs manager and formed Norfolk Visual Art Week. 2015 will be the second year for the weeklong celebration of Visual Art in Norfolk, VA.
