The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center

Originally opened in 1925 as the Charles H. Taylor Memorial Library, the Arts Center has been a vibrant and dynamic leader in the Hampton community for many years. The library was closed in 1987 when the City opened the Hampton Public Library right next door. After careful renovation and restoration, the historic building was reopened in January 1989 as The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center. The Center hosts a series of changing exhibitions throughout the year along with permanent exhibits, classes, lectures, and workshops for students of all ages.
