Dedicated to bringing a world-class performing arts venue to the Prince William region, the Hylton Performing Arts Center was born out of a partnership among Prince William County, George Mason University, the City of Manassas, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and individuals and businesses in the private sector. Soaring more than nine stories and boasting a stunning mix of copper, glass, and masonry, the 102,000-square foot center is home to two unparalleled performance venues for local arts groups and performers from around the world, as well as university-related activities. The Hylton Center Education and Rehearsal Wing opened in December 2019—adding 17,000 square feet of space for rehearsals, classes, and performances, and allows the artists and arts educators of our community to fully facilitate the entire life-cycle of artistic creation. A Mason Arts venue, the Hylton Performing Arts Center is managed by Mason’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. The only building of its kind in the area, the Hylton Center has quickly become the cultural hub of Prince William County and the surrounding communities and is a shining example of civic collaboration and commitment to the arts.
