ViBe Creative District

The ViBe Creative District, just west of the Oceanfront, is known for being “a little off the main drag and a lot off kilter.” It’s a vibrant center for a variety of artistic endeavors, and is known for encouraging local creatives to support one another, evolve their craft and inspire their community. Whether you’re touring an independent studio or exploring the world-class collections on view at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the ViBe District always promises an eyeful.

Soak up our colorful ViBes at one of the district’s monthly First Friday or Second Saturday Mural Tours. Shop one-of-a-kind vintage finds at the VB Flea Market. Or watch home-grown ideas come to life by touring artists’ studios — then visiting the weekly Old Beach Farmers Market. Both the Virginia Beach Arts Center and Brock Gallery make their homes here, as well — be sure to check their schedules for access to the best local and regional artists have to offer. 

Choose your own artistic adventure with these free, self-guided tours.

Art lovers and creatives, rejoice — there’s art all over town, if you know where to look.
