The richness of The Virginia Piedmont is not limited to nature and history.  The arts and culture play an active role in the region’s allure as a destination.  Nationally recognized artists create and display their original works in galleries and studios. Professional, live theater, concerts, and festivals are held throughout the year. Community organizations foster the preservation of local culture handed down through the centuries and nurture the development and growth of new talent and traditions that will continue the legacy for which the region is known and is so proud.
