Located in the heart of Martinsville’s Arts & Cultural District, Piedmont Arts is an award-winning art museum that curates thought-provoking exhibitions by international, national and regional artists. The museum also offers performing arts—from concerts to plays to children's performances—and a full schedule of art classes for all ages. Admission is free.
Recently - I attended my first event at Piedmont Arts. Now I am wondering why I have never patronized this establishment sooner!! The beautiful decor will surprise you when entering the building. Artwork lines the walls, and I will admit I was mesmerized by the creativity. Some of the paintings really blew me away. Refreshments and beverages are waiting prior to attending your event. The event I patronized was upstairs, and it was a comfortable setting. There really isn't a 'bad' seat in the house. did I forget to mention the Art Garden next door? Piedmont Arts is an exceptional venue that deserves the full attention of art lovers and patrons of the arts!! Simply spectacular!!

Scale models of dinosaurs and actual tracks of these great beasts of the past are featured through innovative exhibits, lectures and educational activities.
We recently attended Dino Festival at VMNH with our 4 year old grandson and he absolutely loved it. Of course, it was fun for the older folks also. It's always an enjoyable experience (visiting the museum), and special events make it even more so. I would recommend visiting especially if you have little dino-lovers or mini-scientists in your family.
