What's Happening at TAG
From open calls to weeknight classes, this is everything currently on the gallery walls and calendar. It's all run by the guild's own members, so the lineup changes as often as the artists do. View MORE →
OUR MISSION & VISION
The mission of TAG is to build and maintain a community art center, promoting artists and their work — and offering art education, cultural enrichment, and creative expression to every citizen and visitor.
TAG stands for Tappahannock Artists' Guild and Tappahannock Art Gallery — one organization, two names, dedicated to making our small river town a more beautiful place to live and visit.
Every show, class, and open studio is run by the artists themselves. If you've got thoughts on how we're doing, we want to hear them.

GUILD ARTIST
Terri Raines
Terri Raines is a self-taught artist whose practice is rooted in instinct, intuition, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. With over twenty-five years of creative play, she has built a body of work guided by a transformative truth, passed down from a mentor: you cannot be afraid to cover up what you like to make space for what you love.
Working in layers of acrylic, ink, and other mixed media Terri leans into the process — allowing color to lead, forms to emerge, and meaning to surface from within the layers. Her compositions are not planned so much as revealed, each piece a record of emotion, improvisation, and trust. Vibrant, restless, and deeply felt, her work celebrates the beauty that lives in unpredictability.
Terri makes her home on Virginia's Northern Neck with her partner Robert and their two dogs, Jayda and Pickles
