The Peninsula Fine Arts Center (Pfac) was an art center located in Newport News, Virginia, and is associated with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The center was last located at 101 Museum Drive on the grounds of the park surrounding the Mariners' Museum and was accredited with the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). It was formed in 1962 as the Peninsula Arts Association (PAA) by a group of Hampton Roads art supporters. The first official exhibit, staged in 1962, was a visit from a Virginia Museum Artmobile. It was one of less than 12 non-collecting art centers accredited by the AAM.
