Art collectors know our Festival and mark their calendars early for our marquee event:

Art enthusiast, Margaret says, "Every year I have a list of events I very much look forward to and must repeat...The quality and diversity of the art is excellent and always interesting... "

Local collectors Bob & Bonnie said, "We love to purchase artwork from the amazing artists at the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival. These works add vibrancy and interest to our home, while helping support the arts and artists who create them. Over the years we have collected over 20 pieces of art at this event and made many connections with artists we now call "friends." It is one of the best venues for art in the Mid-Atlantic, and also a highly anticipated event for the community and the metropolitan Washington, DC, area."

2019 exhibitor, "I was impressed with the quality of the show and even more impressed with how the organization involved, embraced and enhanced the community."

2018 exhibitor, "This show is a gem!"

Due to the cancellation of the 2020 Festival and postponement of the 2021 Festival to September, Tephra ICA allowed artists the option to roll over their 2020 booth fee. These artists will pay the 2021 application fee (Early Bird rate) and be automatically moved into the "accepted" category for the 2021 Festival if they submit their new application by March 31, 2021. With the postponement to September, our hope is that we will be able to accommodate our typical 200+ booth spaces.
