Visitors viewing framed paintings in an indoor gallery, with MBA Art Show branding.
MBA Art Show — a weekend for discovering art and meeting makers.

A school art building becomes a place to discover a new painting at the MBA Art Show, November 5–7, 2026, in Nashville. The juried exhibition brings together approximately 50 artists at Montgomery Bell Academy, with sales supporting the school’s Mothers Club and Fine Arts Department.

An exhibition built around the artwork

The show’s smaller roster offers a manageable alternative to a sprawling street festival. The organizer describes a mix of local, regional and national artists, with work sold in person. Walk the exhibition once to see its range, then return to the pieces that hold your attention. Ask about materials, framing and the story behind a work before deciding.
