Envisioning Revolution: Virginians in Action
June 13 – December 31, 2026
The Library of Virginia, in partnership with Old Dominion University, presents our exhibition, “Envisioning Revolution: Virginians in Action,” on view through Dec. 31, 2026, to commemorate Virginia’s role in the 250th anniversary of American independence.
The exhibition features works from students in ODU's Department of Art who created works in the fall 2025 semester that envision Virginians featured in legislative petitions submitted to the state between 1776 and 1786. Those portraits and petitions, along with related research, provide insight into the diverse voices and revolutionary spirit of the time.
