Reston
Every spring the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE) invites over 200 artists to showcase their best, original, contemporary fine art and craft. They perform in a competitive, juried outdoor event held in the streets of Reston Town Center. Reston Town Center is a unique, walkable downtown, filled with a variety of residences, offices, upscale retail shops, and fine dining. On Festival weekend, up to 30,000 visitors attend.
The Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival has a long-standing reputation for presenting high-quality work. It is a three-day event. The Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival is a nationally top-ranked fine art and craft festival.
The event highlights skilled artisans who utilize both traditional and unconventional materials and techniques to create hand-crafted, original works of art available for purchase. The sheer diversity of fine art and craft at the Festival ensures that there is something for every taste and budget. One of the highlights of visiting the festival is having the opportunity to interact directly with the participating artists.
This independent, juried art show is produced by the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The weekend festival admission is a voluntary donation of $5 per adult.
