- Artists Stipends Supporting local, working artists is critical to the success of the ViBe Creative District and is an important part of our arts advocacy efforts. From significant stipends for large wall murals, small stipends for participation in 1-2 hour events to materials reimbursements for new artworks, created for the District and large-scale projects warranting significant stipends, the nonprofit actively fundraised on behalf of the artist community in order to pay artists for their time and talents. Paid artists stipends were critical to our creative community in 2021 during the pandemic when many local artists went without jobs. In 2022, Singer Songwriter Saturdays diversified our artist roster to increase the number of performing artists that included original music in their own sets. In 2023, ViBe partnered with the CIty of Virginia Beach to feature 22 artists works on the back of Convention Center with way-finding signage via digital art wraps.
