Suffolk’s up and coming arts and culture scene has developed into the perfect blend of local, regional and national artisans through visual art, theatre, dance, music and more. Whether it’s the spoken word, an expression captured in a photograph or the timeless grace of a ballet dancer - Suffolk opens a gateway for artists and those who appreciate their craft.
The Suffolk Art Gallery is a lovely art gallery situated in the historic
Lakeside neighborhood in downtown Suffolk. Nestled amongst Victorian
and Colonial architecture, you’ll find a former library constructed in
the early 1960s and repurposed as the Suffolk Art Gallery in the mid
1980s.
The Gallery hosts a variety of exhibits and through a partnership with the Suffolk Art League and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts offers year-round programming. From painting and pastels to weaving and quilting, you can find a variety of art classes and workshops offered by the Suffolk Art League.
