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.

Small Works celebrates the power of art created on an intimate scale.
