The Harding Art Show

Since its inception in 1975, The Harding Art Show has become one of the largest and most profitable fine art exhibitions in the Southeastern United States. This highly anticipated annual event showcases over 75 talented artists from around the country whose works are representative of various styles across multiple mediums. On May 1-3, 2025, Harding Academy will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Harding Art Show.

The Harding Art Show is Harding Academy’s single largest fundraising event, and it attracts over 5,000 visitors to our campus in Nashville, TN over a 3-day period.  The weekend includes festive 21+ events as well as a designated Family Day and is always free to attend. Works available for purchase include fine art paintings, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry, and more. Pieces are offered at all price ranges, so there is something for everyone!
