The five acre Jacksonville Center campus is located in the town of Floyd, Virginia, just a few miles north of the Blue Ridge Parkway on the site of a former dairy farm and houses a vibrant arts & cultural facility for the traditional and contemporary arts.

The Jacksonville Center for the Arts offers a wide variety of arts & cultural activities for visitors and community members, including contemporary & folk art exhibits, educational programs for kids & adults, and social events throughout the year.

The Hayloft Gallery is located on the upper level in the barn's former hayloft, and features rotating exhibits of work by community members as well as nationally and internationally recognized artists & artisans. Downstairs, a gift shop and artist's studios offer a wide selection of items available for purchase. The Sustainable Living Education Center (SLEC) located outside the main building has installed examples of environmentally friendly practices such as a working wind generator.

A wide range of classes are offered at the Jacksonville Center, with weekend and week-long studio programs for local residents and visitors to the area. Classes are offered for fiber arts, jewelry, sculpture woodworking and two dimensional arts (book art, drawing, painting, pastels, photography, printmaking, watercolor, etc.) The Center also offers classes, using fully equipped studios, in blacksmithing, pottery, and glass working. The glass working studio is located in the main building and the former creamery has been renovated into a pottery studio. A pole barn structure, set in a scenic location back in the woods on campus, serves as the blacksmithing studio. The Center also offers classes during the summer that are specifically for youth. Lodging is available nearby for our visiting students.
