Ephemeral Art Program

The arts are alive in Rappahannock County in multiple ways! The newest rendition is the Ephemeral Art Program. The Rappahannock Association for Arts and the Community (RAAC) and the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), in partnership with the Sperryville Community Alliance (SCA) and the Rappahannock County Recreational Facilities Authority (RCRFA), offers Rappahannock-based artists the opportunity to participate in its annual Ephemeral Art Program.

Ephemeral art is art that is non-permanent, brief, fleeting. It’s a term that usually describes art that happens once and is not preserved as a lasting object in a museum or private collection. The Ephemeral Art Program invites artists to create art from natural materials taken from the environment at hand – leaves, sticks, rocks, earth, and manmade or found objects.
