The winners of the 2024 Fall Art Tour Photo Contest are:
Autumn Scenes
Daniel Horowitz
“Hay Bales and Autumn Color”
Hay bales are a Rappahannock County icon. We liked the composition of the rolling contours on the hillside coupled with the colorful forested background capturing the essence of autumn in our county.
Spirit of the Tour
Cherl Crews
“Mask and a Woman”
Submitted by Donna Marquisee, shown in photo. The woman is playfully smiling with a mask crafted in Peggy Schadler’s studio and shown in the Sperryville ARTist Cooperative Gallery. Chosen because of the energy and composition. It captures the fun and interaction with art. Truly a celebration of the Fall Art Tour vision.
Studio Scenes
Francie Gabbay
“Kat Habib at Margaret Rogers’ Studio”
This image shows a studio display of a pot in an outdoor environmental setting. This beautiful composition shows the artwork balanced by the detailed fern backlit leaning respectfully away from the pot. The blurred background or bokeh gives prominence to the subjects.

November 1-2, 2025,
10:00 am – 5:00 pm both days
The Fall Art Tour has grown into one of the Virginia’s premier events, drawing art and nature lovers from near and far. The three aspects that make the self-guided Tour unique are the wide variety of artists and artworks, the number of studios open to the public only on this weekend, and the natural beauty of the rural landscapes that visitors will explore.
The Rappahannock Association for Arts and Community produces this event as part of it’s mission to build and sustain community through the arts in Rappahannock. Net proceeds from the Fall Art Tour are used to provide grants to artist projects and community arts events throughout the year through the Claudia Mitchell Arts Fund.
The Tour’s Main Gallery is a great place to start your Tour experience, with a preview of every Tour venue!
