Crossroads Art Center — Attraction in Virginia

This is truly an amazing staple of the local art scene in central Virginia. The name is indicative of what one might desire and expect from an art gallery. Locally owned and operated, Crossroads has something to whet any artistic appetite. Whether you are looking for paintings (in literally every medium/style), photography, sculptures, or even classes, you will find it here.

The owner is very vocal about her passions with art and the community has grown to embrace them for many years, and it shows why when you walk in. From the very first warm greeting to the calming ambience throughout its various showrooms, you will truly feel as if you are a part of something great and magical.

Take some time out of your day, plan a date, attend a show or opening, or even become a member; you will truly be blessed to be a part of one of the largest art communities...
