The AVAST directory is a resource for finding and connecting with Arlington artists year-round. Discover painters, photographers, jewelers, sculptors, printmakers, ceramists, and illustrators, plus artists in wood, makeup, fiber, video, calligraphy, paper, pastel, and collage!

The AVAST tour is held on a fall weekend each year, and offers visitors opportunity to connect with dozens of artists in their studio environments over two days. The 2025 tour will be September 27 and 28. See pictures of last year’s tour here.

AVAST partners with local galleries, arts organizations, and businesses to host art shows and events that promote interaction and deepen the role of art in our community. In 2025, our artists will exhibit at Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington! We also maintain an archive of previous tours, providing annual snapshots of artists in the county.
