"Piece Quilt" By Artist Steve Prince

Sponsored by VAACC and in partnership with VIBE Creative District

​The Virginia African American Cultural Center (VAACC) is pleased to announce a new mural by renowned artist Steve Prince in the City of Williamsburg. This is part of the VAACC’s statewide effort to raise awareness for black history in Virginia, via funding from the Virginia Tourism Corporation. The City of Williamsburg Public Art Council facilitated this effort over the last six months, connecting VAACC with Broad Street Realty in Midtown Row for a mural at 200 Monticello Ave, Suite A.

The VAACC worked with the ViBe Creative District of Virginia Beach and the Williamsburg Public Art Council to identify artist Prince for the mural in Midtown Row. Working collaboratively throughout 2024, the partners identified a wall in Midtown Row owned by Broad Street Realty with Prince, who then created a mural rendering, which was approved by the Williamsburg Public Art Council and Williamsburg City Council

STAY TUNED FOR MORE EVENTS AND PROGRAMS!
