  Celebrating 25 years of African American culture and fine arts, the Southeastern Virginia Arts Association (SEVAA) is proud to continue its love affair with the state ‘s premier African-American festival.
The waterfront of Norfolk, Virginia’s Town Point Park comes alive every Memorial Day Weekend. Rain or shine, the festival plays host to over 200,000 people who take part in the festival’s splendor.
The Southeastern Virginia Arts Association (SEVAA) inaugurated Afr’Am Fest on Memorial Day weekend, 1981. Today Afr’Am Fest has grown to become the largest African American cultural celebration on the east coast.
In November 1982, the Southeastern Virginia Arts Association incorporated as a Virginia non-profit to promote the arts and culture of African Americans in the Hampton Roads, Virginia region.
The organization focuses on five disciplines: visual arts, dance, music, literary arts and theater. Southeastern Virginia Arts Association sponsors activities that promote and assist artists and cultural organizations, encourages increased participation in the arts by African-American artists and arts organizations, and works to geneate increased overall community support for the arts.
