League Of Reston Artists
Art by Karen Danenberger
Dream. Create. Inspire.
The League of Reston Artists (LRA) is a nonprofit, volunteer-run community of visual artists, photographers, and art supporters dedicated to celebrating creativity and connection. Through rotating group and solo exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, and community partnerships, we create opportunities to learn, share, and experience art in meaningful ways. Our outreach programs bring art into public spaces, support creative education, and fund an annual scholarship for local high school students pursuing the visual arts.
We welcome artists, art lovers, and curious visitors alike to connect, participate, and be part of a vibrant creative community.
The Art In Public Places Program (AIPP)
The League of Reston Artists’ Art in Public Places program is designed to do two things: provide opportunities for artists to exhibit and sell their work, and to give back to our community by bringing original art into shared spaces such as hospitals, community centers, libraries, and residential buildings.
While some venues may offer greater sales visibility than others, each location plays an important role in our mission. For many of these spaces—especially residential communities and care-focused environments—our artwork adds warmth, inspiration, and a meaningful connection to the local arts community.
We encourage participating artists to view this program not only as a sales opportunity, but as a meaningful way to contribute to the cultural and visual landscape of our community.
The AIPP Program is adding new venues to our list! The Reston Regional Library, and the Fairfax Government Center (North) — across the street from the library; will be available this summer. Both offer the opportunity to showcase 10+ pieces of art, and offer excellent visibility to the general public. If you would like to be added to our roster of AIPP artists/photographers, check out our AIPP page here to sign up!
