FROM THE DIRECTOR:

Dear Friend of The Louisa Arts center:

The Louisa Arts Center is a non-pro�t organization,created for and dedicated to the cultural enrichment of all citizens, and is the cultural hub of Louisa County andCentral Virginia. The Louisa Arts Center provides the �nest quality visual and performing arts, and arts education through the Purcell Gallery, Cooke-Haley Theater, and its classrooms. Cooke-Haley Theater programming includes a diverse mix of music, dance, and theatrical groups that bring Bluegrass and Country, Jazz and Big Band, Celtic and Roots Music, Rock and Roll, and movies to Louisa. The Purcell Gallery host’s six exhibits each year featuring the art work of individual artists and group shows. Our classrooms provide theater and art camps for kids, and workshops for adults and children.

Louisa Arts Center History The Louisa Arts Center shares its facility with the Louisa Town Hall. The building was once the Louisa High School-Louisa Grade School. The Louisa High School-Louisa Grade School educated children of Louisa for 80 years, from 1907 to 1987. The original school structure was a one-story four room building built in 1907 and expanded in 1910 with the addition of a second �oor and a one-story auditorium/theater wing to the rear. A 7000 square foot annex was added in the 1960’s creating four more classrooms and a cafeteria. (The annex was demolished in early 2004.) The school was vacated in the 1980’s and remained vacant. The original structure and the auditorium are constructed of granite walls with plaster on lath interior walls. The building features large windows, 14-foot ceilings with original tin panels and crown molding, wood panel doors with glass transoms and an impressive stair with carved wood newel posts. In 2004 the renovation began to create a new home for the Louisa Town Hall, and the creation of the Louisa Arts Center. In 2006 the Louisa Arts Center opened with the dedication of the Purcell Gallery. The Purcell Gallery features art exhibits of local and regional artists with 6 shows per year, each running for two months. The Cooke-Haley Theater completed its renovation in 2007. The venue is a 200 seat, state-of-the-art facility hosting up to 14 performances each season.

Our Mission to Enrich, Enhance and Inspire The mission of the Louisa Arts Center is to stimulate awareness and appreciation of the arts through education and advocacy, quality exhibitions, theater productions, lectures, studio classes and workshops for both children and adults. The aim is to broaden involvement and access to the arts, to improve the livelihoods of artists and their opportunity to contribute to community life, and to strengthen diversity, interpretive ability and interactive creativity of all involved.

Sons of Bill June 18, 7:30 PM

Bill Wilson is from central Virginia. He is a professor of philo-sophical theology, a songwriter, an expert on the southern agrarian movement, and a father of six. His three eldest sons, Sam, James and Abe, returned to Virginia to start a rock band in 2006 with long-time musical compadres Seth Green and Todd Wellons. As a tribute to the man who taught them how to play guitar, write songs, drive a stick-shift, and back up a trailer, the band decided to name themselves Sons of Bill.With two independently released albums, and a live show known to evolve from acoustic ballads into sweaty stage dives, the Sons of Bill are quickly establishing themselves as one of the hardest working and most promising rock bands in the south.
