Every year, local artists come to Virginia Beach to put their artwork on display for the Boardwalk Art Show hosted by the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. Typically, this 65-year tradition is held in June, but, due to COVID-19, it was held in October. There is no word on when the 2022 show will be held, so keep an eye out!
Virginia Beach Boardwalk Art Show
As one of the only outdoor art shows produced by an accredited museum, the Boardwalk Art Show strives to have the highest caliber fine art in the relaxing setting of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk.
Ranked as a Top 15 Fine Art Show of the Decade by Sunshine Artist Magazine, the festival runs for three days and welcomes nearly 200 artists from around the country. Featured art includes ceramics, photography, sculpture and glassworks.
