Since 2004, The Blue has been one of Hampton Roads' best respected events for independent minded performing artists. Since its inception, The Blue has been known for it's intimate atmosphere, engaged audiences and spontaneous moments of profound creativity and expression. The open nature of our event fosters genuine connection between performer and audience member.

Now approaching its 5th season, The Blue is an event that is on the grow. "This season, we want to take The Blue experience to another level. Just as any artistic endeavor should be an endeavor for growth, we want to take our experience to a higher standard that brings out the best in those who come to The Blue to share their creativity," says event curator, Jon Bibbs.

There is no pretense at The Blue. We work hard to maintain an open, warm, and encouraging environment that is conducive to creative expression. It isn’t about money, glitz, glamour or fame. The Blue is about providing an open and supportive environment for creative people to share, connect and interact.
