BUILDING
Second Street Gallery is located inside the City
Center for Contemporary Arts, a multi-use facility built in 2003.
Designed by Bushman-Dreyfus Architects, based in Charlottesville,
with R.E. Lee as general contractor, the C3A houses three nonprofit
organizations: Live Arts (a community theater), Light House (a youth
media organization), and Second Street Gallery, which is located on
the ground floor. With a total of 27,000 square feet, and an accessible
roof terrace, the building is one of the rare examples of contemporary
architecture in Historic Downtown Charlottesville, featuring polychrome
details and a skin made of turned aluminum. The C3A received the Preservation
Award for new construction in an Historic District, given by the City
of Charlottesville Board of Architectural Review in October 2004. |
