Music for the Community

BPC is a favorite performance venue for local artists and ensembles. It offers a 500-seat sanctuary with acoustics that are very favorable to music-making. The Blacksburg Master and Children’s Chorales rehearse at BPC every Tuesday evening, and offer concerts during the year at varied locations.


The Arts at BPC

BPC has a long history of fostering inspiration and worship through the arts. Throughout the building, there is an extensive collection of visual art, beginning with sanctuary architecture and furnishings. Paraments, banners and liturgical vestments, which are changed throughout the liturgical seasons, feature the work of commissioned artists and congregation members. There is visual art in stained glass, fabric, sculpture, paintings and other media throughout the building and grounds. Our worship and congregational life also regularly include additional creative expressions through liturgical movement, drama, and poetry.

Exhibits in Westminster Hall

BPC seeks to celebrate and showcase the work of the many skilled artists in our congregation and community. The north end of our library has been dedicated to exhibit paintings, watercolors, drawings, paperwork, fabric art sculpture, and countless other forms of art that reveal the creativity inherent in being made in God's image. Exhibits are on display on a varied schedule.
