A Space for Community & Creativity

Piedmont Arts in Martinsville, Virginia, has long been a gathering place where creativity thrives. Through its galleries, performances, and community programs, the organization plays a meaningful role in the region’s cultural life. Their recent venue enhancement reflects that same commitment to innovation and connection.

A new ActivWall Folding Door now provides a seamless flow between the indoor event space and the recently constructed outdoor pavilion. This four-panel configuration opens from the center, creating a wide and inviting pass-through that transforms how the space can be used. When fully open, guests can move freely between indoor and outdoor spaces, which is ideal for receptions, concerts, and seasonal celebrations. When closed, the large glass panels still maximize natural light and preserve views of the surrounding grounds.

Crafted with precision aluminum framing and a durable white powder-coat finish, the 136″ x 111″ top-hung door complements the building’s contemporary style while offering low-maintenance performance. Like all ActivWall Folding Doors, it features multi-point locking for security, durable weather seals for comfort in any season, and smooth-operating hinges designed for frequent, flexible use.

The versatility of this system means event planners have more options than ever. They can open just one side for a controlled flow during ticketed events or fully expand the space to accommodate larger crowds. 

By choosing this custom solution from ActivWall, Piedmont Arts has created a welcoming environment that supports its mission to bring people together through art. Now, when the weather is right, guests can enjoy beautiful breezes, stunning views, and a memorable indoor-outdoor experience that enhances every gathering.
