Whether it is a social or a business event that you are planning,
the Workhouse Arts Center will provide a unique setting to help
you create an event as distinctive as it is memorable. The campus-like
design of the Workhouse is comprised of classically inspired buildings,
arched walkways, and a spacious, grassy quad area. The historic
buildings, with their Colonial Revival-style architectural detail
and rich history, provide artistic inspiration that will create
an amazing experience for wedding receptions, reunions, and other
social or business events. The Workhouse Arts Center is conveniently
located in Fairfax County, north of Occoquan and just off of I-95
on Route 123, at the corner of Ox Road and Lorton Road.
Currently, the newly renovated Gallery Building and the Quad are
available for hosting your special event. The Gallery building is
a two-story structure ideal for reunions, receptions, parties, or
meetings. The two floors can be rented out separately or together.
The first floor can accommodate 160 people for a standing reception,
while the second floor can accommodate up to 100 people for a standing
reception or 75 prople for a seated dinner.
The core area of the Quad, which was designed
in the early 20th centuary to promote positive social interaction,
is bordered on two sides by brick-lined arcades that connect the
artist's studio buildings. The quad area provides an open, fresh
ambiance for outdoor celebrations, weddings, dinners and receptions.
If you are interested in hosting your event at the Workhouse Arts
Center or if you would like to schedule a tour of the available
space, please contact Tricia Barry, Event Sales and Operations Manager.
Please note that events cannot be scheduled on holidays such as
July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.
