The art groups are from the cities of these NOVA Counties including Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Winchester.
Whether the artist members go by the name of art group, society, guild, club, council, league, artisans, alliance or any name, they are typically a nonprofit organization with a mission of promoting art for the communities that they live in, and beyond.
