Art Show 2026: Reminders for Exhibitors
Hello Exhibitors!
We are all looking forward to a very successful Art Show! We have 235 pieces of art to display from 63 artists. While that is really exciting, it also means that we need to be super efficient in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Here is a checklist to help you make sure your work is ready to be displayed and so that you know when to pick it up. We’ve also included some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help clarify anything that you may need to know.
CHECKLIST FOR DELIVERING AND COLLECTING YOUR ART
Community Church at Tellico Village, 130 Chota Center Drive, Loudon
IMPORTANT: Enter through the door near the stage
Delivery – 2:00pm – 4:00pm Thursday, 4/9/24
- Frame and wire your artwork with D- rings (see FAQ below)
- Apply your label to the back of your art (Title, Artist, Medium, Price).
Here is the link to the blank label sheet to print. - Bring a single sheet of cardboard the size of your artwork for each entry.
- Print your first and last name on top right corner of cardboard that protects your 2-D piece
Pickup – begins at 4:00 pm; ends at 4:30 pm Sunday
- Pick up your cardboard (arranged alphabetically by last name)
- Remove your artwork (a friend may pick-up your artwork for you)
- Please do not start taking down the panels – we have a team for that
FAQ: Artwork Display Requirements
What if I forgot what price or title I put in the application?
We have a complete list of all exhibitors and their artwork here:
https://www.tellicoartguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Show-2026-Sales-List.pdf
Does my art need to be framed?
All 2-D art must be framed OR have deep profiles with finished edges and no visible staples. Hanging wires should be taut so they won’t be visible at the top when hung. Use D-rings – no sawtooth or eyetooth handers may be used. Painted surfaces must be dry. Our framing requirements are here.
Why do I need to bring cardboard with my 2-D or 3-D art?
We suggest transporting your work with a sheet of cardboard to protect it. If you do choose to do this, please be prepared to take it back with you after dropping off, and again bringing it on Sunday for the pickup.
All 3-D art and any fragile art that hangs (such as fiber or glass) should be delivered in a box to protect it during staging.
How do I help to best display my 3-D art?
Pieces must balance and stand on their own. Jewelry must be displayed in boxes or on forms.
Artists displaying stained glass items need to provide their own means of display/hanging. Glass can be heavy if your piece is large and the panels may not be able to support them.
FAQ: Sales and Marketing
May I bring business cards?
Yes, you may bring your business cards when you bring your artwork! Business cards will be placed at the Sales Info Desk for our visitors.
How will I know if my art sells and what is the Sales Information process?
We have a Sales Information team that will handle the sales process. Look for the Sales Table on the far side of the kitchen area. Each piece of art will have a number assigned and displayed on the title cards.
If your art is sold, it will be indicated with a red dot. Please check at the sales desk for further instructions to connect with the buyer after the show off church premises. There is NO COMMISSION, and the Art Guild does not collect payments for the artists.
If I sell my work during the exhibit times, may I remove it for my client?
No, artwork may NOT be removed during the exhibit. But you can contact your client and arrange to meet them outside the church anytime after you pick up your art after 4 pm on Sunday.
What if a Buyer inquires about a sold item?
If a Buyer inquires about a sold item, the Artist’s business card or contact info will be provided, so the Buyer can make contact about viewing additional work available or to commission custom artwork.
FAQ: Attending and Promoting the Show
Do I need to attend the Opening Reception on Friday?
While it’s not required, it’s a nice opportunity for visitors and possible buyers to meet the artists whose work they admire. Please remember to wear a name tag.
Is there music this year?
Yes, music will be provided by volunteers throughout the weekend. Please take a moment to thank the musicians who are donating their time for our event.
No food will be provided this year and no food is allowed in the exhibit.

Class Content: Triptych Landscape Workshop – Paint All Three Panels (If you have payment issues, contact me to pay directly at the Contact Information link above.)
Pack a lunch and Join me for a full-day acrylic painting class where you’ll create a beautiful three-panel (triptych) landscape designed to flow seamlessly from one canvas to the next. By the end of the day, you’ll have three finished 9×12 paintings that connect into one cohesive scene—perfect to hang together or display individually. Total finished art would fill a space 9″ by 24″ with a sugggested inch between the canvases or you can hang as individual art pieces. OUTLINES PROVIDED.
I will guide beginners step-by-step through the following, and of course more experience painters might add more detail:
Panel 1: Covered bridge and stream
Panel 2: Church and winding road
Panel 3: Rustic cabin and meadow
We’ll focus on:
- Simplified shapes (no overwhelming detail)
- Loose, painterly brushwork
- Creating depth with soft mountain layers
- Keeping the road aligned across all three canvases
- Building confidence with acrylic techniques
This class is designed so you can successfully complete all three paintings in one day, even if you’re new to painting. The style is very loose but allows for you to put your own touches on it if you like more detail.
All supplies included – just come ready to paint and have fun.
You’ll leave with:
- Three coordinated 9×12 paintings (a complete triptych — 9×24 finished size)
You can request 11×14 if you prefer larger finished triptych but must notify me in advance - Techniques you can reuse for future landscapes
- A finished set ready to display or gift
Supply List: ALL INCLUDED, just wear an apron or shirt that can get paint on it just in case 🙂
Biography: I’m Carol Robin King, an artist and teacher with a lifelong love of art. My journey began raised as the daughter of missionaries in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where as early as the age of 3 my mom said art was the only thing that could get me to sit still!
In Argentina, art is heavily interwoven into school curriculum, so it was the perfect place to fuel my creative spark. After three years at a professional art school there, I moved to the U.S. for college and continued to find ways to make art a part of my world including painting portraits for a little extra cash.
Teaching has always been close to my heart. I’ve been sharing my passion for painting for over 20 years, starting out teaching kids in homeschool co-ops. Now I’m lucky enough to teach in-person classes at seven different locations, including a gallery, local art store and a College Lifelong Learning program.
My teaching philosophy is simple: I believe that art should be fun and stress-free. I’m a patient and encouraging teacher who wants everyone to feel confident and relaxed in their art journey. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to explore new techniques, My mission is to guide you step by step in a friendly, supportive environment.
No matter your experience level, you’re welcome in my classes—and I can’t wait to help you discover your Inner Artist!

Class Content: In this class we will work on one floral painting and learning how to re-use “failed” paintings and turning them into new “sanded” paper.
We will do some light sketching of the floral beforehand to help us loosen up. Then, we will tone our paper, sketch our chosen composition and paint with layers and line.
After lunch, I will show you how to make your own sanded papers that have a ton of texture. This technique can also be applied to failed paintings on your other sanded papers as a way to revive them. I will provide one sheet so you can practice painting on it as it acts differently. See supply list for items you will need to make your own, but this is not necessary.
Supply List:
Floral:
- a few sheets of sketching paper,
- vine charcoal or pencil to sketch with,
- at least one piece of pastel paper for the painting (Lux Archival, UArt, Pastelmat, etc),
- selection of soft pastels (NOT oil pastels),
- tabletop easel,
- backing board and tape.
We paint upright so the dust falls straight down and not on the painting.
DIY Pastel paper:
I will provide everyone one piece (5X7) of watercolor paper with Golden’s pastel ground applied to it. If you want to try making your own and don’t have this pastel ground, gesso does the same thing, bring a brush to apply gesso/ground and bring watercolor paper or old paintings on pastel papers that you won’t mind brushing off.
Any questions about supplies, please email me! I don’t mind answering questions at any time.
Biography: My name is Kristen and I started painting in 2022 when I decided to try a new hobby. Now I teach pastel painting at the Oak Ridge Art Center. I enjoy learning and taking workshops as much as I enjoy teaching. Classes are laid back and I encourage you to relax and try something new and have fun with the people around you. When I’m not painting I’m outside with our 2 mini aussies or making as many new flowerbeds as I can manage!
