About The Workhouse:

The Lorton Arts Foundation has established in the Workhouse Arts Center the region?s most distinctive center for the cultural arts. The Workhouse currently consists of seven (7) artist studio buildings, the main galleries and the recently opened Youth Arts Center. We support more than 100 professional and emerging artists, providing them affordable studios and galleries in which to exhibit their work. In addition to visual arts, the Workhouse Arts Center is home to performing arts, including theater, film, musical and dance performances. The Education Department supports both the visual and performing arts, offering over 150 classes and workshops each quarter, in a broad spectrum of art disciplines.
When all phases of the renovation are complete, the Workhouse Arts Center will consist of 234,000 square feet of adaptively reused buildings and 60,000 square feet in new construction and the site will include 40 acres of open space. The Workhouse Arts Center?s crucial role in the cultural development of Fairfax County is clear to all who visit, finally fulfilling the prison?s original intention to provide a peaceful and positive environment for all.
Lorton Arts Foundation Mission:
Renovate, adaptively reuse and preserve the historic structures of the former Workhouse correctional facility. Create and grow an arts center and community that fosters a diverse offering of arts, arts education, and social and entertainment experiences for people of all ages.
Workhouse Arts Center Vision:
Leverage the architectural heritage of the former Workhouse correctional facility by transforming it into a unique arts center that provides visual and performing arts, arts education and entertainment for the community-at-large.
Comments from past interns:
?Interning at the Workhouse has given me invaluable experience and insight into the inner workings of a growing arts organization, not to mention one that offers so much?the Workhouse staff is creative and determined to make the Workhouse the best that it can be. It has been an experience that will always be valued and never forgotten.?
~Sarah Bracken, Shenandoah University
?When I started looking for summer internships, I was having trouble finding a position that would satisfy my interests in public relations and the arts until I came across the Workhouse. The renovated dormitories were full of creative expression and imagination, while the Quad that separates the buildings is a spacious breath of inspiration. I accepted the summer internship and, after my first week of work in community relations, I am delighted that I did.?
~Amanda O?Brien, Radford University
