27th Annual Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival

Presented by Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE)

New this year, Festival Friday!

For 27 years, the annual Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival has brought more than 200 fine artists from across the nation presenting original works in 16 categories of fine art and fine craft to the unique outdoor environment of Reston Town Center. This year, Festival Friday on May 18 will expand the experience with a focus on the Reston workforce. Reston Town Center merchants will be offering unique Festival Friday deals, that day only. And, Festival programs will once again be available on-site with almost $200 worth of restaurant coupons–with a $5 donation to GRACE, it will pay for itself over lunch.

The Festival’s Title Sponsor, Balducci’s Food Lover’s Market, will have an impressive and flavorful presence during the event. Their newest location will be open this spring in Reston Town Center at the ground level of the new Signature apartments.

The Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival is made possible with the support of generous sponsors, including those in the local community—Balducci’s Food Lover’s Market—Reston, Reston Community Center and Reston Town Center Association, The M Group Architects + Interior Architects, The Counter Custom Burgers, Reston Town Center, Avant at Reston Town Center, Signature at Reston Town Center, The Spectrum at Reston Town Center, North Point Village Center, and Pella Windows—among other valued supporters who provide important in-kind services and funding.

Volunteer!  Adopt-an-Artist!  #MakeArtHappen

Support the 2018 Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival 

The Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival is produced by Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE), the largest 501(c)3 non-profit in Reston solely dedicated to enhancing community life through excellence and involvement in the visual arts. GRACE relies on the community’s support for the success of the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival, its largest annual fundraiser. Support comes in lots of ways ranging from tasks taken on by 500 volunteers to funding from event sponsors. Through the Adopt-An-Artist program, $100 donations made in advance directly support GRACE’s renowned artist hospitality package. At the same time, donors create a very personal connection to the adopted artist and to the Festival experience.

A “Bedrock Institution”— 50 for 50 Award presented to GRACE

In January, GRACE was honored by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the state arts agency, to receive one of its prestigious “50 for 50 Arts Inspiration Awards” in the category of Bedrock Institutions.
