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.
The 50th Anniversary Harding Art Show, held from May 1–3, 2025, was a monumental event, setting new records in both participation and attendance. This year, the show featured over 100 artists from across the country, showcasing a diverse array of mediums including painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and jewelry. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the artists, volunteers, and visitors who made this year's Art Show a resounding success. Your support continues to enrich our community.
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!
