This free, self-guided tour invites visitors to explore the creativity, craftsmanship, and culture that make Floyd County one of Virginia’s premier arts destinations. Venture deep into the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains and experience Floyd’s vibrant creative community through studios, galleries, farms, workshops, and hands-on experiences.

This year’s Trail features 16 artist sites, 22 artisans, and seven Artful Adventure Partners, offering visitors an immersive weekend of studio tours, artist demonstrations, workshops, exhibitions, shopping, and authentic Floyd experiences. Visitors can meet artists where they create, learn about their artistic processes, purchase handmade work directly from makers, and discover the stories behind the region’s thriving creative community.

A highlight of the weekend is the opportunity to experience art in action. Participating artisans will offer live demonstrations in a variety of disciplines including pottery, woodworking, mosaics, painting, jewelry, leatherwork, and more. Visitors can witness traditional and contemporary techniques firsthand while engaging directly with the artists who keep these creative traditions alive.

New for 2026, visitors can go beyond the studio tour experience through a series of hands-on artisan workshops offered throughout the Trail. These workshops provide opportunities to learn directly from participating artisans, explore new creative skills, and create artwork of their own while gaining a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship behind handmade work.
