A Legacy in Motion: 120 Years of Art and Community

For 120 years, the Academy has set the stage for creativity, connection, and community in Central Virginia. From unforgettable performances to life-changing arts education, our legacy will continue to unfold for generations to come. As a valued patron, you play a vital role in this ongoing story—ensuring the arts remain a powerful force for unity, expression, and transformation.
