Artists on Location

  The Guild of the Knoxville Museum of Art presents Artists on Location 2026, a weeklong plein air painting event that brings local and regional artists to Knoxville and culminates in a 2-day art show and sale at the museum.  The show and sale will be held on Friday, April 24, 2026 from 6:00 - 9:00 pm and Saturday, April  25, 2026 from 10:00 am to noon.  Both are free and open to the public.  Artists on Location promotes the museums' connection to the local and regional art community and provides both new and seasoned collectors with a rare opportunity to buy original paintings of Knoxville and East Tennessee.

Beginning Sunday, April 19 through Thursday April 23, talented artists selected through a rigorous juried process will be painting outdoors around the Knoxville area.  The public is invited to watch the artists in action as they capture on canvas a wide variety of subject maatters, from urban street scenes to the Great Smoky Mountains.

New this year, the artists will submit one small cavas piece to be a part of the La Petit Show.

Proceeds of art sales will benefit both the artists and The Guild of the KNoxville Museum of Art.
