Flat Iron Crossroads is a nonprofit organization that has revitalized the site of a 100-year-old gas station into an intimate, modern performing arts center located on the corner of Flat Iron Road and Daffodil Lane in Gloucester, Virginia. Just as gas stations have prepared travelers for journeys since the advent of motor transportation, Flat Iron Crossroads strives to help patrons discover “avenues” of musical adventure both familiar and untraveled.
Being a better performer is also a journey! Flat Iron Crossroads will educate the performing arts community in Gloucester and the surrounding counties of Virginia’s historic middle peninsula. By bringing performing arts workshops for all experience levels of performers, by partnering with local schools and colleges, and by creating mentorship programs, Flat Iron Crossroads will become more than just a fabulous venue to experience live music—it will become a vital community—a culture of performing artists!
As our name implies, Flat Iron Crossroads in an intersection where performing artists and the music enthusiast meet. In Eastern Virginia, there are limited spaces and opportunities for quality musical entertainment. We have revived the site of an old gas station, but we are also reviving the concept of the small performing arts center that was once embraced all over our country by legendary artists like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Dolly Parton. Flat Iron Crossroads provides an intimate space designed to enhance the musical and theatrical experiences of our audiences.
