Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA) is excited to announce Capital One Hall as the Title Sponsor of the 2025 Tephra ICA Arts Festival, taking place May 17–18, 2025, in Reston, Virginia.
Now in its 34th year, the annual Festival attracts over 20,000 people to the outdoor environment of Reston Town Center. This year more than 200 artists will travel from approximately 30 states across the U.S. to exhibit and sell their work in Reston. The 2025 Festival will also feature food vendors, guided tours, artist demos, art activities for all ages, and a special performance by artist Claire Ashley.
Capital One Hall will activate the heart of the Festival on Market Street with an interactive art installation at the festival, inviting attendees to contribute to its creation. After the festival, the completed artwork will be displayed on the Capital One Center campus as a celebration of this partnership. Festivalgoers will also have the chance to purchase fee-free tickets to upcoming performances at Capital One Hall, learn more about future shows, and enter to win VIP tickets to the Broadway in Tysons production of Chicago.
“At Capital One Hall, our mission is to share the transformative power of the arts, and partnering with the 2025 Tephra ICA Arts Festival allows us to bring that vision beyond our walls and into the heart of Northern Virginia,” said Cristina Mayer, Marketing Director of Capital One Hall. “We are thrilled to support an event that celebrates contemporary art and fosters creativity within our community.”
