When complete, the Arts Center and 90-acre Art Park will be a vibrant educational facility designed for cutting edge artistic exploration and community driven arts activity. The Arts Center together with the FPCVA downtown exhibition spaces and emerging artist Launchpad, will become an arts destination, which will add significantly to the social fabric and economic health of our region and State.
