ABOUT

One of Loudoun's best venues for the arts is the Gateway Gallery and Gift Shop! A cooperative market place for area artists, it has a wide variety of ceramics, jewelry, painting, glass, woodwork, and fiber works. Located adjacent to the Round Hill Arts Center in refurbished space in the old Hill High Orchard Building at the western edge of Loudoun County, The Gateway Gallery welcomes visitors from the Blue Ridge to the Beltway and beyond.

Local artists came together to create a gallery of art and fine craft in western Loudoun County. The Gateway Gallery and Gift Shop operates as an artists’ cooperative, where members show and sell their work and share in managing and staffing the gallery.

The gallery is located with other new ventures in the Hill High Orchard building. This landmark destination is considered by many as the gateway to rural western Loudoun. The Round Hill Arts Center, offering art and music classes and events, has already reopened at the site and is helping the group of artists establish the cooperative gallery.

Membership includes twenty-eight local artists representing an array of media including painting and printmaking, photography, pottery, fiberarts, woodturning, sculpture and jewelry. Artworks and fine crafts by all members is exhibited and sold in the gallery, and individual artists are featured in rotating gallery shows. Member artists support the gallery by staffing the gallery, serving on management committees and helping with special exhibits and events. The co-op President, Meredith Hilt, said “Our founding members worked enthusiastically to fine-tune the co-op’s operations and get the gallery ready. We love the location and gallery space, and enjoy being part of an arts destination in western Loudoun.”

The success of this gallery is based on the traffic both through and past this busy location, and the excitement and support of the Loudoun County Tourism Board and the Round Hill Arts Center.
