About the Round Hill Arts Center: Mission | Goals | Board/Staff | Membership
We at the Round Hill Arts Center (RHAC) believe that the creative process expands the mind and provides a unique vehicle for expression while bringing joy and a sense of well-being to the participant. Round Hill Arts Center is community-based, encouraging participation in the arts for the benefit of the entire community of western Loudoun. We also seek to foster an understanding of the many ways in which art is present in our lives - from paintings and drawings to furniture and textiles. In short, we are about getting people into art!

Foster appreciation for fine arts and traditional crafts in Loudoun
County Artists and community members are the backbone of the Center, producing work to be displayed in the Center gallery, witnessing the creative process through exhibits, and participating in events and classes. Your participation in RHAC, whether as a teacher or student, volunteer or patron, ensures that we acheive our mission. RHAC is supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. We are incorporated in VA as a non-profit, and recognized as federally tax-exempt under IRS section 501(c)(3). |
Our
Philosophy:
As
a community based arts center, our goal is to encourage both amateurs
and professionals to continually explore and expand the products
of their creativity. RHAC seeks to blur the line which, in the mind
of the individual, often separates fine crafts (or "folk arts"),
such as woodworking, basketry, weaving, and blacksmithing, from
the fine arts: painting, photography, drawing, printmaking and sculpture.
To that end, our programs and gallery encourage the juxtaposition
of elements of the craft and fine arts traditions, thereby challenging
the participant to examine the nature of each as a true art form.
