Art in Public Places (AIPP)

AIPP Exhibits

Are you interested in opportunities to exhibit your work at solo exhibitions in Reston and beyond? Art in Public Places is a partnership between LRA and businesses throughout Northern Virginia.  This partnership gives our member artists the opportunity to showcase their art in businesses typically on a three-month rotation and further exposes our community to new and unique art. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS OPEN TO LRA MEMBERS ONLY.

Exhibitions are solo shows, rotated every three months or on the needs of the venue. Artists are responsible for installing and uninstalling their own work. Artists handle their own marketing and sales, but we ask that participants use the same format/template for your art signs. The art card template can be downloaded here.‍ ‍ For best results, print your exhibit labels on Avery® 5871 Matte White Business Cards (2" × 3½"). These perforated cardstock sheets print 10 labels per page and are compatible with the League's downloadable exhibit label template.

We recommend printing a test page on plain paper before printing on the business card sheets to ensure your printer is properly aligned. Attach your AIPP label with painter’s tape to the lower right hand corner of your art.

A 10% commission on all sales is payable to LRA and is on the honor system. You can pay your commission here.‍ ‍

Exhibiting artists coordinate directly with the previous and next scheduled artist to ensure a smooth transition and continuous display of member artwork. Prompt communication regarding installation and removal dates is essential, as some venues require artwork to remain on display without interruption. If you are interested in exhibiting your art at any of these venues, email the AIPP Chair.
