Charlottesville's Garage: Alternative Art Space

http://www.thegarage-cville.com/

Central Virginia boasts plenty of great places for concerts, but there’s one venue that offers a unique experience for the audience, and the bands that play there.

 

The garage sits between a funeral home and the office of Christ Episcopal Church. The audience sits across the street on a low wall at the edge of Lee Park.  
 

“The busier and busier it gets, we spread up the hill, and you can dance at the back, you can dance in the road if it’s a quiet night," says Madeleine Partridge, who has worked two dozen shows since May.

“People stop by, we put signs downtown, so they are like “oh, what’s this?” and just wander up the road.”
