The Kingsport Art Guild was founded in 1949 to serve the City of Kingsport and the greater Tri-Cities Communities in the area of the visual arts.
THIS YEAR WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 60TH Anniversary!
An important part of the cultural life of Kingsport, the Guild is located in the Kingsport Renaissance Center near the downtown area of Kingsport and is a Non-Profit Organization. Our purpose is to provide opportunities to study and exhibit the visual arts of our community.
KAG hosts art exhibitions throughout the year as well as three art competitions: The Appalachian Art Show, The FunFest Show, and the Member's Art Show
