vibe district mural festival virginia beach

Virginia Beach’s ViBe District is known for it’s impressive murals and outdoor art, and since its beginning, Java Surf Cafe has been proud to be a contributor to the scene. The art around the inside and outside of our restaurant and cafe has become part of who we are.

During the summer season of 2020, we’ll be cycling some of our murals on the outside of our cafe and restaurant with new works by local artists. View some of these works in progress here, and drop by sometime for coffee and food and see them in person!

ARTIST PROFILE

Rick Ricketts

Armed with a can of paint and a lettering brush, Rick Ricketts started handpainting signs out of his garage, one at a time. In 1980, Rick opened the doors of his first small shop in Virginia Beach and created signs, vehicle lettering, banners, show cards, and exciting murals & graphics. In the 40+ years since, he’s kept at it and his experience shows! You can see his work at distinguished businesses around Virginia Beach—and also now at Java Surf!

ARTIST PROFILE

Ben Hamrick

Graphic artist and painter Ben Hamrick has been creating work around Virginia Beach for years. If his style looks familiar, it should be: he actualized the designs for the round Java Surf logos and medallions that you’ll see inside our restaurant, as well as in various places here on our website! We were stoked with the design that Ben proposed for the mural festival and we’re proud to have it front and center outside so the community can see it, too!
