For centuries, the creative impulse has inspired poets and painters, dancers and composers, playwrights and novelists to make sense of the world around us. For years, viewers and listeners have turned to public television and radio for the joy and solace–and sheer entertainment–inherent in music, dance and drama. Patrons of the arts from all walks of life, in our community and throughout our Commonwealth, rely on the Community Idea Stations to:
  • Turn our living rooms into concert halls and theaters, inviting world renowned performers and artists–old and new–to share an evening with us
  • Bring us the best of the performing arts in central Virginia when we partner with arts and cultural organizations in our region
  • Bring us performance programs from both national and local venues to ensure all people in our community have access to art, music, drama and dance, both now and for years to come
  • Introduce and preview new talent from around the world
