Center for the Arts

Community and business leaders in Loudoun County, VA have joined together to form Center for the Arts, a 501(C)(3) organization that will bring the construction of a performing and visual arts facility in Loudoun one step closer to reality.

The mission of the Center for the Arts is to provide a venue to foster and support community visual and performing artists, arts organizations, and students of the arts; to provide a quality setting for diverse arts entertainment and educational experiences to enrich the cultural and intellectual growth of the community; and to attract and engage professional and renowned performance groups and visual artists to the arts venue.

The Board of Directors will be working with community, arts, business and elected leaders to form partnerships in this effort, and to identify the most suitable location for an arts venue to meet the needs of the community. It is the Board's vision that an Arts Center will educate, entertain and enrich the lives of the residents of Loudoun County and the surrounding region. The Center will be a world-class venue and important resource for community arts groups, student, teachers, business, civic and service groups.

The Center will host professional performances by local artists as well as regional and national performance groups, appealing to broad audiences.
