Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley at Blacksburg

Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley at Blacksburg For the past 46 years, the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley has been a champion for art and the artists in the region.

Thanks to the help of Blacksburg entrepreneur, Jane Bonomo, and a committee of dedicated artists and art supporters, the Center has opened a second location in Blacksburg. The Blacksburg location features two- and three-dimensional art for sale as well as classes for aspiring artists, both children and adults. With a mission to “foster an enjoyment, appreciation, and understanding of all forms of art, promote art education, and to encourage and support artists” in the New River Valley, the new location continues to tap into the rich artistic heritage of the region and strives to involve artists from nearby communities. Leading the expansion is local artist and board member, Nikki Pynn, who said, “We aspire to be a gallery that is welcoming to many types and tastes and want this location to be a local hub for discovering what's happening with the arts in the New River Valley.” That means the Center will hold classes that will reach different interests, including beginning, more advanced skill building, and experiential opportunities for people who want to dig in and explore how to use different media. “I approach the opening of this gallery from the perspective of a local artist. The backbone of the FACNRV is support for local artists, discovering what is needed and what will help them move forward. The new location’s success will take the community of artists and art supporters coming in and giving their impressions.”

The Blacksburg location is open Wednesdays through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.. There is ample free parking in the Bonomo Plaza and the facility is fully accessible. Classes at the new location are accepting registrations.
