The Reston Museum was founded in 1996 as a community nonprofit organization that preserves the past, informs the present, and influences the future of Reston through its exhibits, public programs and events, including Founder’s Day, the Reston Home Tour, and Lake Anne Cardboard Boat Regatta. Reston Museum is located at Lake Anne Plaza, is free to visit, and offers exhibits and a gift shop.

The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Team at South Lakes High School is a testament to the power of education and creativity in shaping our public spaces. At this event, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the talented students who are behind the annual public art installation on the Lake Thoreau spillway. Supported by Public Art Reston and the Reston Association, these students follow a rigorous process that mirrors the work of professional artists, gaining invaluable real-world experience. Come hear about their journey, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the impact their work has on the community.
