Ephemeral Art Program

The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), in partnership with the Sperryville Community Alliance (SCA) and the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority (RCRFA),  once again offered Rappahannock-based artists the opportunity to participate in its annual Ephemeral Art Program.

Ephemeral art is art that is non-permanent, brief, fleeting. It’s a term that usually describes art that happens once and is not preserved as a lasting object in a museum or private collection. The Ephemeral Art Program invites artists to create art from natural materials taken from the environment at hand – leaves, sticks, rocks, earth, and manmade or found objects. For 2024, artists selected either the Sperryville Trail Network or the Rappahannock County Park for their installations. (See maps below).

The installations were in place from the weekend of September 7-8, 2024 until the weekend of November 9-10, 2024.
