Rappahannock Artists & Artisans

Rappahannock County's lushly forested mountains and bucolic countryside provide inspiration for the creative process. More than 50 artists, artisans and photographers live in the county and exhibit their work in the galleries of Washington, Sperryville and Flint Hill.

Many private studios are open by appointment and for the annual Artists of Rappahannock Studio & Gallery Tour sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts & the Community during the first weekend of November. For a list of participating artists, artisans and photographers and samples of their work, visit RAAC.
