Trip to the Prizery-South Boston, VA

A group of 8 members of the Cultural Center Committee are heading to South Boston, Virginia tomorrow to learn about the Prizery.  The Prizery serves as a “welcome center, a performing arts theatre, an art gallery, classrooms and a large space for community functions.”  Renovated in 2002, the building is state-of-the art.

We will be speaking with Executive Director Chris Jones, who has seen the building of the Prizery from start to finish.  We go with a collection of questions, such as how they came to organize the Community Arts Center Foundation, which owns the Prizery.  The Foundation has several partner organizations, most of which have a seat on the board of the Foundation.
