April 2022 – Environmental Street Art Exhibit

Street Art Neighborhood Identifier Mural

The ViBe Creative District welcomed artists ages 18 and older to submit proposals of artwork inspired by water and the environment as part of a street art exhibit in response to the Maya Lin: A Study of Water at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. Eight finalists were chosen by the Virginia Beach Public Art Committee and painted live April 22-24, 2022 during daylight hours. The artists are paid $1,000 for their time and talent. The ViBe Creative District is located at the intersection of three water sheds: Lynnhaven Watershed, Ocean Coastal Watershed, and Owls Creek-Rudee Inlet Watershed and has dedicated time and funding to a ViBe Urban Garden effort to promote environmental awareness.
