Since 1783 the Community Market has offered a variety of food festivals, craft shows, collector's showcases and music competitions year-round. The art gallery at Lynchburg College was established in 1974 and dedicated in 1990 as the Daura Gallery in memory of Pierre and Louise Blair Daura. Since then, the Gallery has expanded its facilities and collection through the generosity of their daughter, Martha Randolph Daura. The collection now includes more than 1,000 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture by the Catalan-American artist Pierre Daura, in addition to many works by other American and Virginia artists. Summer hours by appointment.
