The RAAC Fall Art Tour takes place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, a self-guided day across Rappahannock County with more than 80 artists and over 30 studios and galleries. If you want a year-round anchor for the day, start at the Rappahannock Art League Studio Gallery, which displays and sells the work of more than 60 local artists.

How to Think About the Day

With more than 30 studios in play, nobody sees everything, and the tour is better for admitting it. The organizers describe it as a chance to meet the artists while you look, so the useful strategy is to choose a handful of stops and give each one real time rather than collecting a long checklist.

Because the format is self-guided, you can build the day around the medium that interests you. The tour spans paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry, and woodworks, so a collector of ceramics and a collector of landscape painting could follow quite different routes through the same county on the same Saturday.

A Reference Point Before You Go: The Rappahannock Art League

The Rappahannock Art League Studio Gallery is useful homework for a tour weekend. It shows and sells work from more than 60 local artists under one roof, which makes it a quick way to learn which styles speak to you before you start knocking on studio doors. We don't have confirmed hours or a street address on file for the gallery, so verify before you plan around a visit.

A Studio Worth Seeking Out: Martin Woodard in Sperryville

Martin Woodard Studio & Gallery at 36 Main Street in Sperryville is the work of an oil painter who draws on Blue Ridge landscapes and the surrounding countryside. The studio lists oil paintings, landscape and nature paintings, original works, and commissions. Hours are listed as call ahead, so phone (540) 244-0349 rather than assuming the door is open. Whether this studio is a stop on the November 7 tour is not something we can confirm from the tour details, so check RAAC's tour materials for the official participant list.

Make It a Full Fall Day

Early November is late in the apple season, but Williams Orchard is a natural companion to an art day. It has been family-owned and operated since 1921 and produces peaches, apples, apple cider, garden vegetables, and beef cattle. Its listed hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, and it carries a 4.7 Google rating. Call (540) 675-3765 to confirm what is available that weekend.
