The Hampton Commission on the Arts, in partnership with the Hampton Arts Foundation, invites professional artists and artist teams to submit entries for the creation of permanent public artworks in Downtown Hampton. This initiative aims to enhance the city’s cultural landscape through the commissioning of impactful landmark pieces that celebrate Hampton’s history, identity, and spirit while enhancing the vibrancy of its public spaces. The Hampton Commission on the Arts is dedicated to advancing creative placemaking and cultural investment across the city. Guided by the belief that art has the power to transform public spaces, the Commission supports projects that inspire civic pride, spark dialogue, and strengthen the shared sense of community that defines Hampton.
