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.
Call To Artists and Photographers!
Small Works Exhibits now open for registration!
Think small. Create big.
The League of Reston Artists' Small Works Exhibit is coming this summer, and we're inviting our members to show just how powerful art can be on a smaller scale.
This members-only exhibit encourages artists to create work no larger than 11" x 14"—a format that invites creativity, precision, and thoughtful composition. From bold visual statements to quiet moments of beauty, these pieces prove that size has nothing to do with impact.
Open to:
🖌️ Painters
🎭 Mixed Media Artists
📸 Photographers
Whether you're creating something entirely new or have the perfect small piece waiting in your studio, we'd love to see your work on display! SIGN UP HERE!!
Coffee & Creativity - Triskele Paper Globes Workshop
Join fellow LRA members for a relaxing two hours of coffee, conversation, and creativity as we create beautiful Triskele paper globes!
A Triskele (pronounced tris-kuh-lee) is a three-part spiral design with roots dating back thousands of years. Variations of the symbol have been found throughout the world, including Ireland, Greece, Italy, Korea, Japan, and Malta, where some of the oldest examples date to approximately 4400 BC.
During this hands-on workshop, you'll choose from several pre-printed designs and, using alcohol markers, you'll color three cardstock strips and then learn how to assemble them into a stunning three-dimensional Triskele globe to take home.
No artistic experience is necessary—just bring your creativity and enjoy an afternoon of making art with fellow members.
