Bringing The Arts To Life
In Crozet
Meet Crozet Arts
Crozet Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building community through accessible creative practice across disciplines—theater, dance, music, visual arts, and movement—
and for all ages, right here in Crozet, Virginia.
Come and join us!
CLASSES BY DISCIPLINE
We celebrate curiosity, creativity, and community by offering experiences that invite people of all ages to move, make, learn, and grow together.
The Hamner Theater, a nonprofit theater company founded in 2005, is in residence at Crozet Arts under the artistic leadership of Boomie Pedersen. Rooted in community storytelling and open, accessible theater, The Hamner creates performances, workshops, and conversations that bring hidden stories to light and make theater available to all—one play, one story, and one community at a time.
