Description

The Artys is Mobile’s only arts award program that acknowledges the priceless contributions made to our arts and cultural community. For sixteen years, the Mobile Arts Council has presented these awards to recognize the creative achievements of impactful individuals, organizations, and businesses. The community-nominated winners of each category are presented with an Arty, a limited edition work of art created by a different local artist, each year. The 2019 awards will be created by artist Ardith Goodwin. This year's Artys will take place at the Steeple on Saint Francis on Thursday, February 6th from 6 to 9 pm.
