Loudoun Cares Selects Artists for Annual Art Auction
Celebrating the Arts for a Cause
LEESBURG, Virginia (September 2026) – Loudoun Cares is proud to announce the return of our Annual Art Auction, showcasing the work of more than 24 talented local artists. The event, now in its 8th year, will be held on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at Fleetwood Farm Winery in Leesburg. One hundred percent of the evening’s proceeds will benefit Loudoun Cares’ vital community programs.
This year’s auction features artwork selected through a jury process and generously donated by regional artists to be sold during a live auction. In addition, we have several art pieces that will be included in our Silent Auction along with some incredible experiences and Loudoun-based goods and services. The collection reflects the creativity and diversity of talent across the DC-Maryland-Virginia area.

The artwork will be available for public preview beginning with an Opening Reception on November 6, 2026, at the Loudoun County Law Library (18 E Market St, Leesburg, VA). The preview exhibit will remain open through November 17 during library hours.
The Art Auction is Loudoun Cares’ largest annual fundraising event, supporting programs that connect those who serve with those in need to build a stronger community. The evening also serves as a celebration of your senses through music, art, and fine food and libations. Guests will enjoy cuisine crafted by James Beard–nominated Chef Tarver King, who will showcase dishes from the highly acclaimed Loudoun destination Waverly Springs.
“As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of the Loudoun community to continue serving our neighbors in need,” said Ronni Allen Ward, Loudoun Cares Board Chair. “We are honored by the incredible support of so many artists, community members, and local businesses who make this event possible.”
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are now available HERE.
