A History of the Show
For 35 years, The Harding Art Show has been one of the principal fund-raising activity of the Parents Auxiliary of Harding Academy, an independent coeducational school serving kindergarten through eighth grade. The school is very proud of The Harding Art Show and its tradition in the Nashville community.

The show, which began in 1975, just four years after the opening of the school, has grown from a modest gathering of artists in the early years to one of the largest exhibitions of fine art in the Southeastern United Sates. The Harding Art Show is an important venue for participants and has launched the careers of significant Southern artists. The show features exciting works from all over the southeast. Participation in the show is by invitation only and is limited in the total number of artists participating. Last year invitations were extended to over 70 artists to participate after an exhaustive selection process.

All events associated with The Harding Art Show will be held at the Harding Academy campus located at 170 Windsor Drive in West Nashville, just off of Harding Place, near the intersection of Harding Road and Harding Place. For specific times and events, as well as parking information, please check the Events page. Directions to the campus are provided at right.
