The d’Art Center is located in the NEON district of Norfolk, and exhibitions take place in d’Art’s spacious main exhibition space, the Harbor Group International Gallery.  

Juror Biography : Peter Eudenbach uses sculpture, video, and curatorial projects to explore the relationship between function and absurdity while also challenging our expectations of the commonplace. A recipient of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship in 2007, Eudenbach’s work has been shown nationally and internationally at venues such as Exit Art in New York; the Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim in Neuenhaus, Germany; the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia; the Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island, at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art in Charleston, SC and most recently at Popblossom Gallery in Norfolk. He lives and works in Norfolk, where he is the Chair of the Art Department at Old Dominion University. www.petereudenbach.com
