RAAC Fall Art Tour

Artists of Rappahannock

Admission
Free
The Fall Art Tour is a premier Virginia event and the signature event of the Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community (RAAC). Now celebrating over 20 years, this free, self-guided, two-day tour invites visitors to explore more than 30 studios and galleries scattered across the bucolic villages and back roads of Rappahannock County. Over 80 artists open their creative spaces, offering an intimate look at their work in painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, woodworking, jewelry, stained glass, bookbinding, printmaking, furniture, mosaics, and more. The Tour's Main Gallery at The Washington School serves as the ideal starting point, with a preview of every participating venue. Tour maps are available online one week prior to the event and in print at the Main Gallery and participating studios. Visitors come from across the Mid-Atlantic region to meet the artists, purchase original works, and experience the stunning fall foliage of the Blue Ridge foothills.
