Art, Community, & JOY
in Cape Charles
Since 1997, Arts Enter Cape Charles has brought the visual and performing arts to the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Our vision is that every member of our community has access to the inspiration of the arts, whether as a performer, creator, or appreciator.
Two Venues. One Movement.
Live theatre, music, dance, visual art, and arts education come together through Arts Enter’s programs at two welcoming venues: the Historic Palace Theatre and Lemon Tree Gallery.
Historic Palace Theatre
A restored 1942 Art Deco theatre in the heart of Cape Charles, presenting live music, theatre, film, and community performances.
Lemon Tree Gallery
A gallery and creative space where art, music, and community meet. Discover works by artists and enjoy free live music almost every Friday.
Arts Education
Piano, voice, theatre, & dance classes for all ages. Nurture your creativity, build confidence, and create community.
