Greater Lanexa Studio Tour
In October 2026 Discover Unique Art Experiences at the 32nd Annual Greater Lanexa Studio Tour in New Kent County, VA
Our History
The mission of the Art Tour is to foster meaningful interactions between artists and the public within their creative spaces. This unique art experience offers an opportunity for individuals of all ages to observe artists in action, engage in discussions about their craft, and gain insights into their distinctive techniques and mediums. During the Tour, attendees can explore a diverse array of original artworks available for purchase, making it an ideal occasion for holiday shopping with items priced to accommodate every budget. However, there is no obligation to buy; the focus is on exploration, learning, and enjoyment at your own pace.
Founded in 1994 by sculptor Richard Green and his wife Hilary, who previously co-founded an art tour in Bracebridge, Ontario, the Tour has its roots in their passion for art and community. Now based in Lanexa, we are proud to continue their vision, celebrating artistic expression and connection.
Our participating artists include many who are highly regarded and have received numerous accolades, with works featured in galleries across Williamsburg, Richmond, and the Peninsula. The Tour is dedicated to upholding a standard of excellence among its artists, and as its popularity grows, we aim to expand our studio locations and welcome new talent.
