In 1952, a small group of artists presented an outdoor art show at the Virginia Beach
boardwalk, with the proceeds benefiting a fellow artist who had fallen
ill. Those artists later formed an organization which is today the
Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). In 1956, the first official
Boardwalk Art Show was held. Top prize was $25 and 104 artists
participated. Today, Best in show wins $10,000 and the Boardwalk show is
ranked as on of the top 100 outdoor art shows in the country.
57th Annual Boardwalk Art Show presented by SunTrust.
