Piedmont Council of the Arts exists to sustain the arts as an essential part of the high quality of life in the Charlottesville area.
PCA’s vision is to serve as a nexus for all things arts-related in our community. To build this nexus, we provide services with and for artists, arts organizations, and arts educators, and we help them serve the community at large by liaising with local and state government entities.
Our programs and services encourage access to and awareness of creative and cultural experiences. Piedmont Council of the Arts:
