Art of the Piedmont is an annual fine-art auction and gala held in historic Middleburg, Virginia. The event brings together a curated group of talented artists from across the Piedmont region, offering the community a chance to view, enjoy, and bid on a wide range of artwork, from paintings and sculpture to mixed media and photography. This celebration of creativity has become a beloved regional tradition.
Organized by Middleburg Montessori School, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the event raises critical funds to support the school’s scholarship programs, ensuring children from infancy through adolescence have access to high-quality Montessori education.
The 2026 gala will take place on March 6 and features a week of virtual bidding followed by an in-person reception. Guests can enjoy a gallery preview, hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, and the chance to meet the artists. The event not only highlights the region’s vibrant arts scene but also fosters community engagement and charitable giving, making it a unique cultural and philanthropic experience.
