2026 Featured Artist: Blaire Wheeler

We are thrilled to announce that the Featured Artist for the 2026 Harding Art Show is Blaire Wheeler. 

The show's featured artist is a guidepost for many planning decisions and sets the tone for the entire show.  We aimed to select an artist that represented our school and community — one that is welcoming, joyful, and kind.  Blaire’s well recognized hummingbirds and butterflies set to a gold leaf background reflect what we believe is the golden age of The Harding Art Show.

When Blaire last appeared in the show in 2023, she was an artist that drew a great deal of attention.  Her booth was the first stop for many art enthusiasts, designers, and Harding parents.  Blaire's work is joyful, detailed, and elegant, in a way that we feel perfectly matches the atmosphere of our show.  And her art is a reflection of her personality.

We hope our selection of artwork warmly reflects our excitement to welcome you to a beautiful show this spring.
