HRS: Meet visual artist Tony Snipes

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – Portsmouth native, Tony Snipe’s love of art and history was curated, in large part, as a child diving into books at the Portsmouth Public Library and exploring local museums. After decades of putting his art on the backburner, he’s now using his creativity to re-imagine shipyard history through a sci-fi lens. See how it’s getting people all around the world to appreciate Portsmouth in a new way in this week’s I Am Hampton Roads.

Tony is hosting a lecture called “Black History Now – Storytelling Through Art” that is happening April 26 at the Portsmouth Art and Cultural Center from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information, visit their website.
