We are committed to providing excellent arts outreach and programming for children and adults, including lectures, workshops, classes, tours, publications, and more.
Second Street Gallery presents a full calendar of related outreach activities that complement our exhibition season. We offer Charlottesville and the Central Virginia region leading-edge new art in perspective and context, and foster an active and open appreciation of this art by directly engaging the issues surrounding works by the best contemporary artists in the field. Learn more about our offerings below and contact us about partnership or event opportunities. Special thank you to the LEAW Family Foundation and The Bama Works Fund of Dave Matthews Band in the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) for their invaluable support.
