"Nothin' But Love" Coming to Norfolk Brewery
Another year, another Valentine’s Day…but what if this year was different? Instead of self-loathing or ruminating on your relationship (or lack thereof), why not be surrounded by a bunch of strangers for an evening? Sure, that sounds like the exact opposite of what you might do on a day dedicated to romantic love, but the lovers of beer and live music are gathering at Smartmouth Brewery this Friday to try and change your mind.

Of What Could Be, Of What Can Be: The Reimagining Tale of Black Spirituals
There was a general route I would take during my daily commute from the James River Bridge to the far ends of Newport News. Every day I would pass through this monochromatic route of grays and browns---heightened especially on gloomy days. And each day, I would scan the surrounding buildings...my mind always on autopilot mode. That is...until I saw a building I'd seen a million times, but this time things were different. This time the building had character...presence. Funnily enough, the building's side was painted in a pattern of black and white---yet, it was as if it was saying, "Look at me!" As time passed, more murals were added to the lone building, ultimately creating a beacon of life amidst the lifeless stretch of road---signifying the possibility of what could be, of what can be.

With help from local radio stations 96X and BOBFM, the award-winning outdoor concert series is back in full swing, with the first show kicking off this Thursday from 6 to 9 PM. So without further ado, let’s catch you up to speed on what to expect on the first night’s festivities:
The Creative Mind on Display at Nauticus
Calling all STEM nerds, enthusiasts, and appreciators alike! Have you ever wondered how saltwater converts into freshwater? Or perhaps you’re curious about how we, as a society, began tracking climate change. Well, you’re in luck!
Witness the extraordinary work in science, medicine, mathematics, and engineering from pivotal African American figures at the latest Nauticus-hosted exhibit, The Creative Mind. While new to Norfolk, The Creative Mind exhibit has been around since 2012, originally existing as a photographic portrait collection curated by the African American History Program at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. Since then, the exhibit has been showcased across venues nationwide to many audiences, spreading educational awareness about the significant contributions of often-overlooked African American STEM pioneers. Visitors can look forward to learning more about the transformational work and advancements through a series of educational panels along with models and activities supported and facilitated by the Nauticus Foundation.
Totality of Time Lusters the Dusk - Now at Chrysler Museum
The Totality of Time Lusters the Dusk’s story is one of parallels and ironies, ultimately bound by the fate that we as humans have created for ourselves—or perhaps, it’s the fate into which we were born. However you look at it, Lauren Fensterstock’s latest body of work ventures into the deepest spaces of our internal and social psyche to facilitate such conversations during a critical point in time. The installation is the first in a new series from Fensterstock, examining the ecological relationship between us and the world around us.
