Together We Rise Public Art Installation - May 2023
The Fine Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community arts organization celebrating its 46th year in 2024. Our primary location is in the Historic Commercial District of Pulaski, VA, with a satellite location now open at 860 University City Boulevard (Suite 105) in Blacksburg, VA.
We are dedicated to providing the citizens of the New River Valley with a full range of arts programming, including art education classes for children and adults; rotating exhibits and a variety of performances that feature local artists; as well as offering original, handmade work from New River Valley artists in our gift shop.
The Center is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of artists, arts educators, and supporters of the arts. We also benefit from community volunteers as well as volunteers from the New River Community College ACCE program and the Goodwill SCSEP program. In the last fiscal year, the Fine Arts Center received the equivalent of more than $30,000 of in-kind contributions as represented by more than 1,000 hours logged by volunteers. We are truly a community organization.
The Fine Arts Center operates through generous support from donors and members along with grant funding. Sponsors of the Center’s many activities include the C. E. Richardson Benevolent Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Pulaski County, the Randolph House of Pulaski Foundation, the Secular Society, the Town of Pulaski, and the Virginia Commission for the Arts, and individual sponsors.
