Sick of adulting?

Charlottesville is full of beauty, diversity and creativity, but it’s so easy to get lost in the daily grind. We are the IX Art Park Foundation -- a community of the weird and wonderful in Cville here to transport you back to the sense of freedom, wonder and imagination we are all born with.

We turned the abandoned Frank Ix & Sons textile factory in downtown Charlottesville into a crazy and colorful wonderland of murals, sculptures and hands-on interactive art. The outdoor art park is free and open to the public 7 days a week. Play with your kids (or by yourself!), pack a lunch for a midday break from work, or keep an eye on our page for festivals and events on the outdoor stage.

Indoors, The Rabbit Hole is an intimate event space hosting performances of many genres every week. Learn how to salsa dance on Sundays and Wednesdays, groove to local music, or participate in one-of-a-kind immersive experiences like a 1920s speakeasy night or a black light body paint party! You help make the magic at these creative celebrations.

Next door, The Looking Glass is the first immersive art space in Virginia and one of the first on the East Coast. Over a dozen local artists have handcrafted a 3,000 square foot enchanted forest full of light, sound, color and hands-on interactive displays. Tickets are available Thursdays through Sundays. Come experience art in a totally new fashion!
