Opening Ceremony coincides with the 2nd Friday Art Walk on Friday, July 8, 2011 between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

The Show will be open Saturdays and Sundays during the month of July thru August 7, 2011. Come out and view the fantastic art and vote for your favorite piece!

Artists are allowed to display one or two pieces of their 2D or 3D art work with dimensions no larger than 36” on a side, (including the frame). All art must be for sale and there is a commission on sales. The show is not juried - the first 100 pieces entered are placed in the exhibit. The show is professionally judged and the Colonial Beach Artists Guild awards $1000 worth of prizes.

The event, formerly known as the Heritage River Art Show, features the works of over 50 different artists represented from all over the states of Maryland and Virginia. There's even a separate photography category and the event kicks off with a big opening reception.


2010 marked the 7th annual judged art event now known as The Potomac River Regional Art Show. Usually held in the Colonial Beach Town Center building, artists over 18 years of age are welcomed to display art work from July 9 through August 8.

2009's Juror was Kathryn Willis, art critic, journalist, advocate, teacher. The judge for 2010 is a well-known Virginia artist who earned her BFA and MFA degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University, and was named "Virginia Artist of the Year" at the Women's Caucus for Art. There are $1,000 in cash prizes to be given out at the Awards Reception on the last day of the event, August 8th at 3:00pm. Here's a slideshow.
