To provide a balanced and stimulating exhibition program, be a resource for local artists, foster education for students of all ages, and to serve as a social hub in order to build a stronger community through art. The Peninsula Fine Arts Center (Pfac) was established in 1962 by a passionate group of art supporters from the Hampton Roads area looking for opportunities to create and exhibit artwork. It is accredited by the American Association of Art, one of only twenty non-collecting art centers with that recognition. Accredited by the American Association of Museums and an affiliate of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Peninsula Fine Arts Center (PFAC) is the premier arts advocate in the Hampton Roads region, working to create a stronger community through art. The Center’s mission includes providing a balanced and stimulating exhibition program, acting as an important resource for local artists, and fostering art education. In 2013, the Center and Christopher Newport University announced a new partnership and are proceeding with the design of a new fine arts center to include stunning museum and gallery spaces as well as state-of-the-art teaching and learning spaces. Future plans for the Peninsula Fine Arts Center at Christopher Newport University include the presentation of nationally significant exhibitions, the presentation of exhibitions by emerging and regional artists, research, and cross-disciplinary and experiential learning opportunities for students of all ages. PFAC admission is free on the first weekend of every month, when an exhibition is on view. Hands-on art activities are available with advanced notice for both child and adult groups. Throughout the year we host all types of events at Pfac: from small lunches, to large sit-down receptions, to fantastic talk-of-the-town parties. With the help of Visitor Services Manager Joan Dobson, your guests will have an experience in artistic ambiance that they’ll remember for years to come. This will be negotiated when the reservation is confirmed. Facility agreements are based on five hour scheduling slots. This will be established when the reservation is confirmed. Renters must be a member of Pfac in order to rent the facilities. Use of the facility for any fund-raising events or any event involving admission, fees, raffles, contributions or ticket sales are strictly prohibited unless Pfac is a benefactor or a co-sponsor. The Renter is responsible for the entire rental fee if a cancellation is made with less than 72 hours notice. Guides are available to provide tours through the galleries for guests. Hand-on activities or workshops can be arranged for a separate fee relative to the materials and staff required. Members, non-profits and government agencies may receive a discount. The American Association of Museum’s guidelines prohibit food and drink in the galleries. Photography is prohibited in the galleries, but welcome in the reception area, courtyard and ground. It is the responsibility of the Renter to acquire and adhere to all required permits, e.g. Pfac is not responsible for the delivery and/or pick-up of any equipment required for the event. Any plants or other materials brought in must be clean and pest free.
