Reston’s
beauty, community pride, and cultural environment, make it ideal
for the encouragement and growth of artists. The League of Reston
Artists (LRA) was created more than 30 years ago to develop
and encourage a high interest in art among Reston area citizens.
Since then, it has grown to 200 Northern Virginia and DC metro
area artists, photographers, and individuals interested in the
visual arts.
The
LRA provides member artists ample opportunity to display their
work and challenging opportunities for personal growth. The LRA strives to generate community enthusiasm and appreciation of the
visual arts through regularly sponsored juried and judged exhibitions.

artist graduating from any Fairfax County High School who will
continue their education in the visual arts. Our community involvement
also includes membership in the Arts Council of Fairfax County
and the Council for the Arts of Herndon. Artists and photographers,
in addition to the general public are always welcome to attend
our meetings and events. Minimal annual dues entitle active artists
to become participating members with access to our variety of exhibition
opportunities.
