Endless Inspiration: Step inside the Pop Up Collective you don’t want to miss!
This year, the Washington County Art Alliance in partnership with the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts are proud to announce a new Artists Pop – Up Collective taking place during the Washington County Open Studios Tour on Saturday Oct. 18th and Sunday Oct. 19th from 10am-5pm (only 11 days away!)
So, imagine stepping into a space where ten creative minds collide – each brushstroke, sculpture, and print telling a different story, yet connected by one powerful theme: art in community.
This Artists Pop – Up isn’t just another art show – it’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and the unique voices that make our local art scene thrive.
Meet the Artists and Creatives

The WCAA Artists Pop – Up aims to inspire both seasoned art lovers and curious newcomers alike and whether you’re looking to collect, connect, or simply immerse yourself in beauty, this is an event that promises to leave a lasting impression.
Honorable mention: This event would not be possible without WCAA Volunteer ANNY SEARS, who is working diligently behind the scenes with the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, the artists, and WCAA to make this event possible! Thank you for your dedication Anny!
Don’t miss your chance to witness what happens when imagination takes form, color meets courage, and art becomes a shared experience. Also, on Saturday the 18th at 11am, we will have the pleasure of experiencing a 20 minute performance by the Stuhr Fire Rhythm Group; Music, art, and community, we’ll have it all!
We plan on seeing you the weekend of October 18th and 19th from 10am-5pm at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts and don’t forget to pick up a Washington County Open Studios Map Guide so you can visit other amazing studios and artists throughout Washington County!
