Bluff Park Association

The Bluff Park Art Association is a non-profit incorporated group dedicated to its objective: to promote the Arts in the community, in the schools and in the home. It is led by a board of directors, who oversee the annual show, the permanent art collection and various projects undertaken throughout the year.

The Annual Show

The first show was held in Bluff Park to benefit the Bluff Park Elementary School library and has grown into a prestigious annual event. The top award is a purchase award, and the winning work is added to the permanent collection. These works are displayed in local schools and colleges.

Projects

Proceeds from the Annual Show go to support the Arts in the greater Birmingham community. Over the years we have undertaken many projects, both large and small. These have varied from buying art books for school libraries to commissioning public sculpture and paintings.
