our founder Mary Hardy:
aka: Miss Tudala

Mary at her 85th birthday bash!

Mary Hardy aka “Miss Tudala” came to Scottsville in 1995 and started the Family Players Music School. In 2004, this transitioned into The Scottsville Center for Arts and Nature (SCAN) We celebrate Mary’s contribution to the arts and Scottsville.

On May 24, we celebrate Mary and our Community Friends!

Here is to another twenty years of SCAN! Let’s get together and imagine what they can be.

Music and quilts

Eliza is Mary’s grand daughter. They shared a love for music, cultural experiences, and most of all—thinking way outside the box! Eliza’s quilts are based on songs that she traveled to Russia and right here in Central Virginia to record and share with all of us through singing and quilts. She will be speaking at the Scottsville Library—where the local quilters meet—to share her experiences, songs and quilts. She is also a member of the Hardy Family Band that will be at the theater, and expect to see her in the “Doo Dah” parade and perhaps doing a dance in “All Around the Kitchen.”
