The attached link shows what print sizes you can expect from your images. As with most things in photography there are few rules just guidelines.

Print resolution is highly dependent on viewing distance. You don't "need" to print a 24x36 to 300 ppi, unless you have a bunch of OCD photographers, armed with 10X loupes, running up to the print to micro-pixel-peep. No one who appreciates art would actually do this, but you will see lots of amateurs doing the up close peep thing, and it always puts a smile on my face.
What you posted is a decent guideline.
This provides some more information:

If you are satisfied with your prints that is all that matters, art or not.
I think some of the software presently available (like Topaz Gigapixel) offers additional flexibility in maximum image size.
