Hylton Center

The creativity and sheer talent of our Hylton Center Arts Partners never ceases to impress. And this fall is no different!

The Hylton Center’s Matinee Idylls series is the perfect way to take in an intimate chamber music performance that feels like a concert in your own living room!

The wait is over! Individual tickets are now on sale for 2022-2023 Hylton Presents, Hylton Family Series, American Roots Series, and Matinee Idylls!

Virginia is bursting at the seams with local talent and Arts Alive! 2022 is the perfect way to experience the rich offerings of our community arts organizations.

One of my favorite things in life is to give a tour of the Hylton Center – to anyone. Over the years I’ve lost count of the number of tours (and tourists – tourers?), but telling the story of this great place never gets old.

Late June has a special quality. The summer solstice (on which, etymologically if not astronomically, the sun “stands still”) gives us our longest day of the year, and signals the eternal renewal of the cycle of the seasons.

The seasoned production team at the Hylton Center brings excellence to every show. Every time. From coordinating myriad needs of touring artists to balancing sound levels to hanging precise lighting plots, and so much more, this team does it all with a quiet grace and skillful mastery.

Over the course of two evenings, the Hylton Center hosted its 12th Anniversary Gala on April 29 and 30 with a celebratory dinner emceed by Dean and Executive Director of the Hylton Center Rick Davis, honoring two trailblazers in the community: Denise McPhail and Lovey Hammel.

This summer, the Buchanan Partners Art Gallery presents La vie quotidienne: Haitian paintings from the David A. Kravitz Collection, 1970-2000.

If you enjoy meeting new people and possess an appreciation for the performing arts, consider joining the Hylton Center front-of-house volunteer team as an usher!
