Knoxville Museum of Art

The museum’s event spaces include Ann and Steve Bailey Hall, Regal Commons and a boardroom. Bailey Hall can be arranged for receptions or seated functions; the museum notes that seated capacity depends on setup. A published rental capacity is not a guarantee of a particular concert’s seat count or layout.

Knoxville Symphony Concertmaster programs are among the music events held at the museum. Read the performance details for the room and seating arrangement, especially when combining a gallery visit with an evening event.

Use 1050 World’s Fair Park Drive. Free visitor parking is identified in the lot north of the staff lot and in the lot across the street from the museum. Metered street spaces provide another option. Keep staff and visitor parking distinctions in mind and follow posted directions on arrival.

The museum is wheelchair accessible, and wheelchairs can be borrowed at the information desk. Contact the museum at 865-525-6101 to request other accommodations. Its event-rental guidance asks for at least 48 hours’ notice, which is useful when planning assistance for a performance or private function.

The usual gallery schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1–5 p.m.; Mondays are closed. The museum also lists holiday closures and closures on UT home football days. A scheduled evening performance or rental has its own arrival arrangements, so check that event separately.

Organized photoshoots must be scheduled and approved in advance, and prom photo sessions are not accepted. Short personal social-media videos are allowed if they do not disrupt the visit; filming staff, volunteers or other visitors requires their consent. Weapons are prohibited on the property.

For a special event, use the organizer’s food, drink and admission instructions rather than assuming the rules for a catered rental apply to an ordinary gallery visit. The museum’s spaces are used for different kinds of gatherings throughout the year.
