Open-to-all regional exhibit highlights established and emerging artists

The Kingsport Art Guild is hosting its 60th annual Appalachian Art Show at the Renaissance Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. The open-to-all exhibition features works by both established and emerging artists from the region, with an opening reception and awards ceremony scheduled for April 24. The show runs through May 18.

This event matters because it provides an inclusive platform for regional artists who may not have access to commercial galleries, fostering community engagement and supporting local artistic talent. The 60-year tradition underscores the guild's long-standing commitment to making art accessible to all.
