SCAN LAND WORKSHOP
On July 22, SCAN held a workshop on the 13 acre land on Hardware Street. We had a great turn-out and learned a great deal from our discussions. It was clear everyone was excited about the prospect of having SCAN Land to be used as a future public space!
CALL FOR SUBMISSION
Scottsville Center for Arts and the Natural Environment invites applicants to submit a cohesive body of work to be featured in our newest exhibit: “VALLEY . STREET . SCAPE”. SCAN is a nonprofit that seeks to create a space for the exploration of the natural environment through the arts. This juried exhibition is open to any applicant working in any medium. In partnership with the Town of Scottsville, this exhibit will utilize the space in vacant storefronts in downtown Scottsville in the interest of activating the public realm while bringing art and design to the community. This partnership will allow applicants to exhibit their work, connect to their communities, and help showcase storefronts for rent or sale.

HISTORY OF VICTORY HALL
Victory Theater, originally called Victory Hall, was designed by D. Wiley Anderson. Construction was completed in 1920. It was the dream of drama teacher Marion McKay to have a setting for dramatic performances and traveling vaudeville and Chautauqua shows. The theatre name commemorates the Armistice of World War 1, and the building served its original purpose until 1960 when it became the Municipal Building for the Town of Scottsville.
