    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 Tour

    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 2026 tour will take place the weekend of September 27 and 27.

  • Art Shows + Events

    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. We also maintain an archive of previous tours, providing annual snapshots of artists in the county.
