Showcase Your Treasures
Ready to join us and display your homemade works of art? Let's get started.
A quick note: We are entering a time of transition as the venue that has hosted the Capital Art and Craft Festivals has closed. We searched the Northern Virginia area for a new home for 2026 and beyond, and after careful consideration, we are happy to announce that we will be moving the festivals in the Fall of 2026 to the newly created DTC Expo, located at the Dulles Town Center in Sterling VA.
Once dates have been finalized, applications for artists will become available. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we navigate this transition.
