Since 2004, Scottsville’s Center for the Arts and Natural Environment has existed to encourage members of the community to see connections between human imagination and the ecological landscape. The nonprofit organization has recently opened a new space to display works.
“This is the former Riverbend Boutique,” said Supervisor Michael Pruitt at the April 2, 2025 meeting of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors. “They have their debut show open currently that will be running through the rest of the month.”
That show is an Arts and Nature exhibit running through April 27. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday and by appointment. There is an open call for submissions and you can see details on their website.
Pruitt said the gallery might be worth a trip to Scottsville, Albemarle County’s only town.
“And it is some surprisingly affordable art for those who are interested in filling out their home,” Pruitt said.
SCAN is also planning an Earth Day Celebration on April 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Before you go: This particular segment is the third segment from the April 3, 2025 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. That particular edition is intended to include as much as possible from the April 2, 2025 meeting of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors. It’s also being recorded for the April 5, 2025 edition of the Charlottesville Community Engagement radio show as well as the next podcast. Why? Because it is there!
