DONATE
The NEON District is primed and ready. We just need your help.
Your support and engagement is critical in making the NEON District a vibrant arts destination. Each year, the Downtown Norfolk Council allocates funds to keep the lights on in the NEON, but private investment allows us to flourish. The DNC takes care of clean and safe services in the district, as it does for all of downtown. That means trash is collected, graffiti is removed and the friendly faces of the public service ambassadors are seen daily in NEON. Where the additional help is needed is in adding the creativity and color to the district. We know the artists and we can find the walls. Let’s make it happen.
Both individual and corporate donations to the NEON District’s Public Art Program are welcome. The NEON District utilizes the Downtown Norfolk Council’s 501(c)3, the Downtown Norfolk Fund, to make charitable giving possible. Whether you represent a corporation or just love murals, 100% of your donations to the Fund go towards improving the NEON District and creating public art.
