Christopher Newport has become the epicenter of a thriving regional art and theater community that benefits not only students but also the Hampton Roads community and beyond.
Take a drive down Warwick Boulevard and you’ll find proof; two architecturally extraordinary buildings that offer a multitude of encounters with the visual and performing arts. The newest of the two is the Mary M. Torggler Fine Arts Center. It recently opened its doors after 10 years of planning and a year-and-a-half of construction. The center bears the name of Mary M. Torggler, who along with her husband George, are longtime supporters of arts and education programs. Through their generosity they’ve created unique opportunities for artists in both the performing and visual arts to flourish. The Torggler is a remarkable, 83,000 square-foot building that beckons visitors into its luminous atrium capped by three cascading domes. The domes symbolize the three ships commanded by the university’s namesake, Christopher Newport. Rotating exhibits are featured in its magnificent main gallery. There’s an interactive Art Explorers Gallery for children, a community art gallery, many studio classrooms for academic and public art classes, workshops and camps, and a 150seat auditorium. Adjacent to the Torggler, connected by a curved colonnade that was extended for the project, is the Ferguson Center for the Arts. The Ferguson Center has long been a popular venue for Broadway shows, concerts and world-renowned ballets, as well as a place where students can hone their craft in a variety of exciting ways. As a university-based community performing arts center, the Ferguson maintains a balance between the popular and the traditional, the big Broadway hits and the off-Broadway cousins, the emerging artists with the legendary performers. This eclectic mix has been the formula to its success and helped establish it as the best performing arts center in southeastern Virginia and beyond. As most know, a community full of art is a community full of culture. Research has shown cities that emphasize the arts have more civic and social engagement, better child welfare and even lower poverty rates. The arts also stimulate business and economic growth. The creative industries employ nearly 3 million people and make up around 4 percent of the nation’s business. When you support your local arts, you are doing extraordinary things for your community. You are creating culture, stimulating business, driving tourism and inspiring the next generation of young minds. And just as importantly, you help carry on the tradition of providing exceptional opportunities for our students, who will continue the critical mission of stimulating awareness and appreciation for the arts.
