As flooding continues to challenge downtown Staunton, a new exhibition at the Staunton Augusta Art Center invites the community to look beyond immediate interventions and imagine a long-term, resilient future for one of the city’s most vulnerable sites.

Wharf Reimagined brings together design proposals by junior-level architectural design students from James Madison University who have spent the past two years rethinking the Wharf Parking Lot as a place of connection, resilience, and community gathering.
