About the Prizery

    The Prizery, already a center for community activities, began its renovation in 2002. The 38,000 square foot building will include space for a welcome center, a performing arts theatre, an art gallery, classrooms and a large space for community functions.

    This renovation will be accomplished while keeping the look and openness of the building intact. As a centerpiece of the historic warehouse district in downtown South Boston. The Prizery will be a magnet for tourism and will provide performing and exhibiting space not now available. Its location next door to the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center will make its facilities a natural extension for the colleges.

Mission Statement:

    To establish a regional community and fine arts center. The purpose of the center is to provide, promote, and preserve the performing arts, visual arts, and literacy arts for multicultural and historical education of the region. In addition, the building will serve as a welcome center attracting visitors to our community.
