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.

“Such a gem in Charlottesville! The murals are stunning and it's amazing that it's completely free. We visit regularly and there's always something new to see.”
“Perfect spot for a casual afternoon. The art is fantastic and the farmers market on Saturdays is a bonus. Love that it's open to everyone at no cost.”
“Brought my kids here and they loved exploring the different murals and sculptures. It's educational, beautiful, and free—what's not to love?”
