Friday–Sunday, November 20-22, 2026
Follow the Art. Meet the Makers.
The MTSU Department of Art and Design and Todd Art Gallery welcome the public to the Todd Art Building during the 2026 Art Studio Tour, November 20–22.
As one of six destinations on this year’s regional tour, the Todd Art Building will offer opportunities to discover original artwork, meet members of the university’s creative community, and experience MTSU’s artistic environment.
A centerpiece of the weekend will be the Student Scholarship Roundup, a department-sponsored fundraising initiative featuring artwork and creative items contributed by students, faculty, alumni, and other supporters to support Art and Design student scholarships.
As part of this initiative, participating students will have opportunities to present their work to the public, engage with prospective collectors and community members, and gain practical insights into the professional aspects of exhibiting, promoting, and discussing their creative work.
The artwork and fine craft creations featured throughout the weekend will reflect the breadth of visual arts disciplines represented within the department, highlighting the ongoing exploration, learning, and refinement of creative skills developed throughout each semester.
Rather than operating as independent vendors, participating students will contribute to a coordinated departmental fundraising effort supporting scholarships for eligible Art and Design students. Their involvement provides meaningful professional experience while helping strengthen the scholarship opportunities available to the department’s student community.
Visitors will have opportunities to acquire original creative work, meet emerging artists, learn about their creative processes, and contribute to the future of art and design education at MTSU.
The Art Studio Tour and Scholarship Roundup are free and open to the public.
