Capital One Hall includes a state-of-the-art Main performance Hall, The Vault black box theatre, and Classrooms available for community use at specially negotiated rates for Fairfax County-based non-profit arts groups and arts-related programming by Fairfax County government agencies and Fairfax County Public schools. ArtsFairfax is accepting online applications for arts use of the spaces by eligible Fairfax County community arts organizations and agencies on behalf of the County. Applications will be screened for eligibility and provided to the County. Approved arts organizations and programs will be submitted to Capital One Hall's operator for integration into the Season VII schedule.
Please visit https://artsfairfax.org/capitalonehall/ to view information on the Technical Specifications, Sample Contract, Costs, Seasonal List Development Calendar, and Application Process.
Each organization can submit one application for all of the events they wish to apply for. Each application contains questions about the unique performances you wish to apply for, and use of all available spaces (Main Hall, Vault, and Classrooms).
The seventh season starts September 1, 2027 and ends June 30, 2028.
If you're interested in using only the atrium, other non-arts spaces, or dates outside the designated for community use in the Capital One Hall, please contact info@CapitalOneHall.com. These spaces/dates are not covered by the Capital One Hall Community Partnership application process.
