The guest artists included Ann Bailey, of Canton; Nancy Currie Moore, of Canton; Lisa Flanary, of Jefferson City, Tennessee; Angela D. Lee, of Nashville, Tennessee; Michael Mallard, of Plains; Melissa Mann Bean, of Louisville, Kentucky; Julie Rabun, of Jefferson City, Tennessee; David Underwood, of Jefferson City, Tennessee; Joshua Wagner, of Nashville, Tennessee; and Jen White, of Memphis, Tennessee.

In addition to the art gallery reception, the week-long celebration also included an Inauguration and Alumni Awards Gala, as well as concerts by the Universitys Jazz Ensemble, its Symphonic Winds group and its Choir.
