About the Tour

The Fifth Annual Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Tour will be held Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8, 10AM-5PM, in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge. The tour features 17 open studios and 7 professional galleries with more than 50 new and returning artists showing newly created work in a wide variety of media, including paintings, sculpture, pottery, glassworks, forged ironwork, jewelry, textiles, and photography. Enjoy a virtual sampling of their artwork in the following pages and learn about the participating artists as you prepare for your road trip to Rappahannock County in the foothills of the Blue Ridge.

The Tour begins at the Fire Hall in “Little” Washington, Virginia, where you will be able to view representative artwork from all the  studios and galleries and pick up a map with driving directions to all the locations. There is a $10 per person admission at the door.

The Tour takes you through the beautiful countryside of Rappahannock County. Please arrive early so that you have time to visit all the studios and galleries of your choice—the Fire Hall opens at 10AM both days. Although most visitors come for one day, touring the galleries and studios could easily take two days. Area B&Bs welcome you, but you will need reservations.
