About IX Art Park
IX Art Park is a vibrant nonprofit arts destination operated by the Ix Arts Foundation, located at 522 2nd Street SE in Charlottesville, Virginia, just blocks from the downtown mall. The outdoor park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing free access to a rotating collection of murals and sculptures created by local and regional artists. Since its founding, IX has become a cultural anchor in Charlottesville's arts scene, transforming an industrial area into a community gathering space where art, events, and local commerce intersect.
