Studio & Gallery Tour
2010
About the Tour
The Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Tour is held every year on the first full weekend in November. This year’s Tour, our sixth, will be held Saturday and Sunday, November 6 and 7, 2010, 10AM-5PM, in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge.
The Tour will feature studios and 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. The artist and gallery pages, including sample artwork, will be posted here in late July, so please check back.
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.
The Tour has received numerous kudos. In 2009 the Tour was featured on Virginia Living TV; the program is available for viewing on their website. The Tour was also voted “Best Event” by the readers of The Piedmont Virginian magazine.
