2026 Holiday Homes Tour & Luncheon

Presented by the KMA Guild

The Knoxville Museum of Art Guild is delighted to share a few exciting updates for this year’s Holiday Homes Tour & Luncheon, a beloved Knoxville holiday tradition! We’ve listened to feedback from homeowners and attendees to make this year’s event even more enjoyable, with a refreshed tour schedule and a new opportunity to celebrate the season together.

We are pleased to recognize Schmid & Rhodes as this year’s Presenting Sponsor for helping make this special event possible.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP DEADLINE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16

If your KMA membership has lapsed, TODAY is your last day to renew to ensure you receive a paper invitation to this year’s Holiday Homes Tour & Luncheon.

Invitations will be mailed the week of November 9. Please make sure your membership is current by the end of the day today so you don’t miss your opportunity to purchase tickets.

Please remember that KMA membership makes you eligible to receive the exclusive ticket purchase link when tickets go on sale, but does not guarantee a ticket. The Holiday Homes Tour sells out quickly each year, and tickets are limited.

Not sure whether your membership is current? Contact Christy Smith at csmith@knoxart.org for assistance or to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.

TICKETS & SPONSORSHIP

Any tickets remaining after sponsorship commitments have been fulfilled will go on sale to eligible KMA members on Friday, November 20, at 10:00 a.m. Ticket purchase instructions will be included in your mailed invitation. The limit is two tickets per KMA member.

Please note that the new Cocktails & Cookies add-on is not included in sponsorship benefits. Sponsors who would like to attend this additional gathering will need to purchase Cocktails & Cookies tickets separately when they go on sale, subject to availability.

We look forward to celebrating the season with you at this special Guild tradition, and we can’t wait to share what’s in store for this year’s event!
