A variety of performances are staged at the beautifully renovated Edna Boykin Cultural Center in Historic Downtown Wilson by community groups and professionals alike.  It is the home to many wonderful programs such as ACT! for Youth, Playhouse of Wilson, our own professional Boykin Series, and many more!

With a variety of art classes for both children and adults, rotating exhibits in our galleries, and special art events in the community, we have something for the artist in everyone!

We offer an assortment of classes that focus on exploring the arts from every angle. From summer camps, workshops, acting classes, our Paint & Pour classes, and more, there is a place for students of all ages to learn, explore, and grow, all in the name of creativity in both the visual and performing arts!
