Grey Matter
At the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts

The exhibition runs from May 3 to July 20, and the arts center is located at 110 W. Finney Ave. in downtown Suffolk. For more information, visit www.suffolkcenter.org.
Let's Go Shopping
At the Selden Arcade
These works from the Chrysler Museum Collection are organized on a retail theme and provide an insightful look at a universal human experience. Eras and cultures may change, but shopping endures. The Chrysler’s Selden Arcade gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and admission is free. The Selden Arcade is located at 208 E. Main St. in downtown Norfolk, and this exhibition will run from March 19 to June 8.

The Moses Myers House
Two Added Attractions
This historic home gets two extra features for 2013. Adeline's Portal is a conceptual art installation by Beth Lipman that re-imagines the life of Adeline Myers in glass objects. Classical Traditions is a selection of works from the Chrysler collection that would have looked right at home in the house in the year 1800. There are free guided talks and tours at the home every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
The Mobile Glass Studio
At Events All Across Hampton Roads
Our Mobile Glass Studio will be hitting the road in 2013 to share the magic of live glassblowing with audiences across Hampton Roads. The fully functional studio includes a propane-fired crucible and glory hole, an annealing kiln, and talented artists who can explain the wonders of the glassmaking process while putting on a show.
