Enjoy a unique pedestrian experience of art, culture, and community.
Hear brief, artist-approved, narratives relevant to 26 artworks.
Hear brief, artist-approved, narratives relevant to 26 artworks and their creators. We begin outside the Chrysler Museum's main entrance on our 2-hour, 2-mile stroll through the streets and hidden conduits of the Neon District.
Mike will be your guide: Having hosted over 900 tours and hikes in and around my hometown of Norfolk, I've spent seven years exploring and sharing. Each artist has a story and each piece a spirit. The artists with works featured on our tour were provided with the narrative related to their work. Some responded with valuable feedback and others a kind nod. So what we will convey about the art is synced with the creator's visions and is genuine.
Itinerary
Outside the glass studio is the first and perhaps most sophisticated work on our tour, Collective Connectivity. Hear of the origins, symbolism, and the artist who created this piece.
We walk an insightful route through the NEON District viewing and hearing brief narratives on 26 works and their creators. The route is 2 miles in 2 hours with frequent stops.
