Registration notes: Virginia Arts Festival commissioned this design from Alastair Dunn of R G Hardie & Co Ltd (Glasgow). The tartan was the inspiration of James Hixon, Chairman of the Board. The Virginia International Tattoo in Norfolk, VA, was established in 1997 as part of the world-renowned Virginia Arts Festival. Its mission is to honour the US military, celebrate American freedom and patriotism, educate youth, attract visitors to Coastal Virginia, strengthen international relations and enhance the quality of life for the people of Coastal Virginia. Colours: the blue, ‘Festival Blue’, represents the Virginia Arts Festival and pays tribute to those who bring the arts to life; the red, white and blue threads represent the patriotic themes and the performances of the Tattoo; the blue shades represent the Virginia Flag and the Norfolk Seal; and the grey stripes recall the naval ships and airforce planes.
Woven Sample: A woven sample of this tartan has been received by the Scottish Register of Tartans for permanent preservation in the National Records of Scotland.
