Description
Virginia Humanities at WHRO is a partnership between Virginia Humanities and WHRO Public Media supporting public humanities projects across Hampton Roads. Launched in July 2024, the regional humanities center is headquartered at WHRO and serves museums, libraries, historic sites, and other cultural nonprofits. Its work focuses on the region’s history, cultural traditions, and contemporary issues shaping community life.
Grants support project planning and implementation that bring local stories to wider audiences, preserve and interpret cultural resources, and engage the public in dialogue around shared experiences and pressing questions. The partnership seeks to demonstrate how the humanities bring communities together, foster understanding, and strengthen local institutions’ capacity to deliver accessible, community-centered programming.
