The William King Museum of Art is a non-profit regional art museum and education center located in Abingdon, Virginia, housed in a historic 1913 school building. It serves as a venue for approximately nine exhibitions annually that highlight art from the region and beyond, along with programs such as artist talks, lectures, workshops, and special events. The museum also operates additional galleries—the Student Gallery and Panoramic Gallery—that together contribute up to 24 more exhibitions each year, while offering an extensive arts education program for schools and the public, and maintaining artist studios, a reference library, research archives, and an outdoor sculpture garden. Based in a rural area of southwest Virginia, the institution serves artists, students, educators, and general audiences seeking access to contemporary and regional art through exhibitions, programming, and educational resources. Its activities position it as a unique, nationally accredited museum west of Roanoke, with ongoing partnerships and community projects that expand its outreach and engagement, including recent collaborations and support initiatives within the region.
