ArtXtravaganza Art Show & Sale Returns, Showcasing Works by Nearly 70 Professional Artists

KNOXVILLE, February 2, 2026 – Whether you’re looking for that perfect addition to your home, a one-of-a-kind gift or simply want to enjoy an afternoon surrounded by an extraordinary selection of fine art, mark your calendar for this year’s ArtXtravaganza Art Show & Sale, Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29, at Webb School of Knoxville’s Lee Athletic Center in West Knoxville. Admission is free and open to the public.

Widely regarded as one of the premier art shows in the Southeast, ArtXtravaganza will highlight the exceptional talents of nearly 70 professional artists from across the region and beyond. With a thoughtfully curated selection of paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, and more, the show promises something for collectors and casual art enthusiasts alike.

For over 23 years, ArtXtravaganza has brought art and community together, offering guests a wide range of works to suit every budget. Visitors can explore a diverse mix of mediums, from oil and acrylic to ceramics, watercolor, wood, glass, stone, and fiber, while connecting with the show’s artists. ArtXtravaganza continues to evolve, featuring many new artists this year and drawing nearly 70 percent of participants from outside Knoxville, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience for both newcomers and longtime fans.

Vicky Reddish of Nashville, Tennessee, is ArtXtravaganza’s featured artist for 2026. Her abstract acrylic pieces have been described as joyful and uplifting, playfully combining rich colors and dynamic textures. The show will also include a student art exhibition, presenting pieces by Webb Lower, Middle and Upper School grades, as well as an “artist in action” booth with Webb student-artists creating on site. 

This year’s ArtXtravaganza kicks off with a Patron Party on Friday, from 5 to 9 p.m., in the Lee Athletic Center. Patron Party ticket holders will enjoy a sneak peek at the collection of artwork for sale, along with live jazz music, cocktails, beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres. The art sale continues Saturday, starting at 10 a.m., with a free reception for all visitors from 5 to 7 p.m. that will include music by Tracee Perrin, hors d’oeuvres, and beer and wine. Doors reopen Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., providing additional opportunities to explore and purchase works by participating artists.

Returning this year, ArtXtravaganza’s Brushes & Bids online auction runs March 23-27, featuring up to five pieces from each of the show’s artists, with bidding closing at 9 p.m. on Friday during the Patron Party.

Proceeds from ArtXtravaganza help support Webb’s visual and performing arts. A signature component of Webb’s arts education is its Artist-In-Residence program, a four-to-six-week on-campus teaching and learning experience led by nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from this year’s ArtXtravaganza will support a one-year scholarship for a student attending Knoxville’s Community School of the Arts.
