The City of Alexandria, VA’s Office of the Arts and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA have partnered to present Innovation & Creativity.  The partnership is an extraordinary yearlong artistic collaboration culminating with the inauguration of the new Virginia Tech Innovation Campus in the Potomac Yard area of the City of Alexandria in Fall 2023. The new campus will be a place of culture that unlocks the power of diverse people and ideas to solve the world’s most pressing problems through technology.

Innovation & Creativity will include three primary exhibitions in Target Gallery at Torpedo Factory Art Center, as well as performances and events. Innovation & Creativity explores the importance of creativity, art, technology, and cross disciplinary collaboration beyond boundary-less possibilities.
