If you’ve ever met eyes with Abraham Lincoln on Water Street, or the turkey that looks over Triangle Park, you can thank PRBHTN for that. The annual art festival has spent the last 10+ years supporting creatives and allowing them to decorate our city with their vibrant art and murals.

  • The submission fee is $10
  • Selected artists will be announced Friday, Sept. 13
  • The reception will take place at The Loudoun House on Friday, Oct. 11, 6-10 p.m.
