IX Arts Foundation

Enjoy a colorful wonderland of murals and sculptures in the midst of downtown Charlottesville! The outdoor art park is free and open to the public 7 days a week. Play with your kids (or by yourself!), pack a lunch for a midday break from work, or keep an eye on our Facebook page for festivals and events on the outdoor stage.

Then head indoors to The Looking Glass and experience the power of art in a completely new way. Dozens of local artists have collaborated on the first immersive art space in Virginia. Explore an enchanted forest and kaleidoscopic cavern full of light, sound, color and hands-on interactive installations that will captivate your imagination and bring out your inner child.

Tickets for The Looking Glass are available on hourly entry times from 10 am to 6 pm Saturday, and 12 pm to 6 pm Sunday. General admission is $15 for adults, $12 for children ages 4 to 13, and free for children 3 and under. Family packs of four tickets are available for $48.
