Host a Private Virtual Party
In response to the current stay-at-home order in Virginia and amid COVID-19, the Academy Center of the Arts has pivoted our strategies to take current birthday party opportunities online, so that our patrons and supporters may still enjoy our offerings, even when at home!
See below for a list of our current opportunities for private, virtual gathering opportunities.
