peninsula fine arts center印象

The Peninsula Fine Arts Center (PFAC) is nice, tho relatively small. Most art museums are large and I feel drained after walking through them. The PFAC is the right size...especially if you go on a "free" weekend or if you join as an annual member.

I loved the art pieces. The gift shop is items all made by artist. It has an outside area that you can rent for weddings, or a party that area is supper nice. If you like art and you want to see something different it is good. They also have kid art classes. You will have to call to get info on that. This art center is PFAC and in the same parking lot as Mariners Museum.

The Peninsula Fine Arts Center is a really, really great local art treasure. One month they may be hosting a visiting exhibiting of prints by Goya or photos by Ansel Adams and the next showcasing the talents of area university art students. The PFAC also offers a full spectrum of art classes for both adults and kids.

We went to see the African American art display. I have never been to this museum before. The displays are beautiful and are laid out well. The young lady at the information booth was informative and helpful. We walked through and enjoyed the amazing artwork on a self-guided tour. The place is very small and we were able to go on a day when admission is free so that was a bonus. I would like to go back again once the next display is featured. Well worth the drive.

Lovely arts center/display space focussing on regional artists, and well worth visiting. Great gift shop. For an enjoyable day out, combine a visit to the PFAC with a walk on the Noland Trail and a visit to the Mariner`s Museum, and maybe rent a boat on the lake as well. The Mariner`s Museum park is wonderful any time of year.

We visited this museum to see the American Impressionist exhibit that is currently showing. As luck would have it, we arrived on a "free" weekend, so there was no admission charge! This was our first visit to the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, but it certainly won't be our last. While we were somewhat disappointed in the exhibit, the facility itself was a very pleasant surprise. It has nice, open spaces in the galleries, with seating available if one chooses to sit and ponder a certain piece of art. There is also a nice gift shop that features work by local artists, emphasis on pottery and jewelry with some paintings. The docent on duty was very helpful and knowledgeable about the exhibit and was able to suggest the best route for viewing the paintings. It is definitely worth a visit. The grounds are also quite nice, and it is close to the Mariner's Museum, so it would be easy to do both on one day.

I can't believe I lived in Newport News before I discovered this little gem. Wasted years. There are no permanent collections so art exhibits change about every two months. The exhibits are eclectic - paintings from the masters such as the American Andrew Wyeth, to avant garde works of contemporary artists, to showcasing regional artists. The center is sized just right for a one hour visit - no long galleries to trudge through to find your way out. The center also offers a broad array of art classes for both adults and children.

The revolving art is so interesting and the displays are well done. Liked that it is near Mariners Museum and the beautiful park with walking, hiking, picnic spots, lake and river. Check out the Lions Bridge on the lake next to the river. Also near nice neigborhoods.

Although the paintings for the current Environmental exhibit were fantastic, I found the rest of the artwork less than Fine. The Center is free, so it's a nice thing to do when you have an hour to kill. The grounds looked like they had nice running/walking trails that I'd like to explore on a warmer day.

Perhaps our expectations were raised too high by visiting the Mariners' Museum, just next door, but we found this museum disappointing and the art displayed there to be somewhat uninspired. We've enjoyed visits to many small museums and galleries, but here I don't think anyone in our group felt the need to dwell over what seemed like a fairly humdrum display. There were some very nice photographs in the main corridor, but the building itself holds no interest, and the display area is small, and exhausted in something under ten minutes. The museum shop appeared to have some attractive gifts, but that shouldn't be the highlight of the tour.
