Blacksburg, long recognized for its rich history and dynamic arts scene, has been steadily transforming into Southwest Virginia’s premier arts and cultural destination. In downtown alone, visitors can grace the doors of any number of art galleries, take in a movie or a show at the historic Lyric Theatre, or experience a world class performance at the Moss Arts Center. The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts offers both traditional and original productions, and on any given evening one can enjoy a performance on Henderson Lawn or the talents of a street artist. Blacksburg is a community that supports the work of our local artists and values their contribution to our creative economy. Performing Arts Visual Arts Arts Organizations Cultural Heritage
