Hampton Arts offers a twist on happy hour! Cocktails at the Charles provides patrons an exciting opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the exhibitions while sipping a glass of select wine or an elegant cocktail and relaxing in the visual arts center at day’s end.

This one-of-a-kind social experience will begin by mixing and mingling with the evening’s exhibition inspired cocktails, curated by Zach Pool, Fuller Raw Bar’s Chief Mixologist. This will be followed by a casual, informative conversation with the Virginia Artists Juror, Unicia Buster – and a private walk-through of the Exhibition.

$25 per person / $20 for Hampton Arts League members includes a voucher for one cocktail/mocktail. Other cocktails and beverages are available for purchase. This event is for ages 21
and over and is sponsored by the Hampton Arts Foundation and Hampton Arts League.

The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center is closing at 4:30pm on Friday, September 30 for this private event.

From September 17-November 12 The Charles H. Taylor Visual Arts Center will host three concurring exhibitions celebrating a broad range of mediums and themes — ‘Virginia Artists’, annual juried exhibition showcases many of Virginia’s finest artists and artisans; ‘God Haunting’, a group of mixed media works that explores the origins of creative and spiritual energy from last year’s Virginia Artists Juried Exhibition “Best in Show” winner Jonathan Ashe; and ‘Voice-Overs’, more than a dozen broadside posters created by Virginia poets, writers, and visual artists responding to the themes of racism, sexism, and bias.
