When Art Thrives in Adversity

Curate delves into the dynamic art scene within our community and throughout the region. Every week, the show showcases local artists in diverse mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, and spoken word. Each episode provides engaging insight into the artists and their works.

This week we visit the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News as we explore art that thrives in adversity. Our Curate 757 feature is the Eastern Shore's Do-Drop Inn. We chat with Asa Jackson, artist and PFAC board member, about the museum's future projects and visit Cincinnati Ballet’s Cervilio Amador. We also showcase a performance by Norfolk rapper and soul singer Billy Mercury.
