Get matched →Artist Moses Ball has been selected to create public art for Barraud Park in Norfolk, VA. The project is currently in the design phase, with Ball presenting his ideas to the committee in the coming months. Barraud Park serves as a cornerstone of Norfolk's history and a vital gathering place for the community, currently undergoing a $4.5 million renovation to improve accessibility and parking while preserving its historical character.
The proposed public art consists of a series of interconnected artworks reflecting the park's rich history and significance to Norfolk, celebrating resilience and overcoming segregation. The pieces will be healing and offer space for reflection on both struggles and triumphs, showcasing local athletes, cultural events, and moments of joy and unity while inspiring reflection on the past and optimism for the future.
The artworks will be scaled to create an engaging pedestrian experience—some pieces small and intimate for personal reflection, others larger and commanding to draw attention across the park. Materials with durability in mind will include weather-resistant metal, stone, ceramics, or durable mixed media to withstand the elements and blend harmoniously with the park's natural landscape.
Artist visit scheduled for July 25, 2026.
