The juried exhibition takes place annually at the Emporium Center and Dogwood Arts Gallery in Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. An independent juror with significant ties to local, regional, and national creative culture reviews each application, selects the participants, and awards over $2,000 to participating artists. ​

New This Year: Dogwood Arts is expanding the Dogwood Regional Art Exhibition to include additional space for installations in the Dogwood Arts Gallery (just down the street from the Emporium Center). This may include large-scale sculptural work and/or site-specific installations of any kind. There will be a materials stipend up to $700 (to be reimbursed with receipts) based on scale and level of involvement.
