The Intersection of The Community, Contemporary Art & Culinary

Welcome back to Industry Night with me, Nycci Nellis.

I’m here today at Capital One Center in Tysons, Virginia, a 35-acre mixed-use development that has completely redefined this part of Fairfax County. It’s not just office towers and retail; it’s a cultural hub with Capital One Hall, The Watermark Hotel, Capital One Park, and The Perch, a three-acre skypark with a biergarten, food trucks, and even mini golf. And built into all of it is a deep commitment to the arts, whether that’s public sculptures, world-class performances, or what’s plated in the restaurants here.

That commitment is front and center this fall with the Capital One Center Celebration of the Arts, a two-day immersive festival happening October 4th and 5th. I will be there leading a fireside chat with artists and chefs. The event will transform the campus into a multi-block celebration filled with installations, workshops, live music, culinary experiences, and more — all in partnership with the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art.

To talk about the festival and the bigger story of Capital One Center, I am thrilled to be joined by:

Erin Mical, Vice President of Central Operations at Capital One, who oversees much of the vision and growth of this development,
Meghan Trossen, Senior Manager of Marketing and Community Affairs, who curates the community programming and signature events that bring this campus to life,
and Jonell Logan, Executive Director of the Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art, who is collaborating with Capital One on this year’s festival.

We have a lot to get into — development, community, art, and why creativity matters now more than ever.
