Visual artists can apply online beginning November 7, 2024, for the 18th annual Western Loudoun Art and Studio Tour, to be held June 6, 7, and 8, 2025.
Eligible Loudoun artists working in all visual media may apply to this juried event. Those selected will open their studios to the public for two or three full days, presenting their work to visitors from the metropolitan region. Last year’s tour brought more than a thousand visitors into more than 40 studios and arts centers, allowing artists to connect with a targeted audience, increasing their visibility and providing an opportunity to promote, share and sell their work.
Professional and emerging visual artists whose studios in Western Loudoun County meet specified criteria may apply as Studio Artists. Visual artists who live and produce their artwork in Loudoun County but do not have a Western Loudoun studio suitable for visitors may apply as Guest Artists. Two- and three-dimensional work will be considered, including but not limited to painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, fiber art, wood, ceramics, glass, metalwork, sculpture, and jewelry.
The deadline for submission is 11:59 PM, January 31, 2025, with no exceptions.
Frequently asked questions and answers about participating on the tour can be found at www.wlast.org/artists/artist-faqs.htm.
