The 3rd Annual Grayson County Ag & Art Adventure is a self-guided studio and farm tour through beautiful Grayson County, Virginia.
This year’s adventure will feature some exciting new changes!
Studio and Farm Tours will be held Saturday ONLY from 10 AM to 4 PM, with artists stationed throughout the county at our participating farms and studios.
We will offer two curated bus tours of the route guided by members of the Grayson County Historical Society on a ticketed basis.
In an effort to include performing arts, this year’s tour will add a free gospel music concert and traditional music jam at the Historic 1908 Courthouse in Independence on Sunday, September 8 beginning at 1:00 p.m. Interested artists and farmers will be invited to set up on the grounds of the Courthouse during the concert as well. Admission to all exhibits is free, but art and farm products may be purchased. There will be no farm tours on Sunday.
Our route will carry you through stops from the rolling pastures of Baywood all the way to the rugged peaks of Western Grayson in a unique twist on a traditional art crawl.
Celebrate the creativity of our local artisans and the quality of our farms at your own pace. Watch demonstrations, buy some art, pet a cow, pick up some produce—all while enjoying a scenic mountain drive along the New River.
Stay tuned for more updates about this year’s 2024 Ag & Art Adventure!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Where do I start the tour?
The tour is free and self-guided. Start anywhere and begin your adventure of farm and art fun! Be sure to sign in at your first stop, and make sure you are counted as you move from site to site.
What if it rains or storms?
The tour takes place rain or shine! Sites may close if there is a threat of severe weather as the safety of our visitors, farmers, and artisans is our #1 priority! In the event of inclement weather, all artists set up at farms will move to the Historic 1908 Courthouse. Check website and Facebook for updates.
Can I bring my dog on the tour?
While we love our four legged friends, we encourage visitors to keep Fido at home. Since our tour sites include working farms, dogs can bring food safety and livestock challenges. Service animals are allowed as needed.
Ag Plus Art?
Many times we hear Ag (plus) Art but the correct pronunciation of “+” is (and)! Ag and Art. Together!
