“The vibrant arts community and the cultural richness of Roanoke were major factors my husband and I considered when moving here from Boston. Roanoke has all the cultural amenities as a large city—museums, theatres, cultural centers, symphony, opera, ballet, galleries, music festivals—but with the added convenience and accessibility of a small market. We love it here.”

Shaleen Powell, Musician with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and Director of the Cultural Endowment
