The Bluff Park Art Show is proud to have been named the kickoff event for "The Year of Alabama Arts". We began the celebration October 2006 and the event continues through all of 2007. Pictured above, Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos addresses the crowd at the event kickoff ribbon cutting ceremony.

Come to Alabama and view the paintings, sculpture, and pottery of native artists. Be mesmerized by tall tales spun by down-home storytellers.  Experience the excitement of seeing theatre, dance, and music performed in live venues across the state. All this and more is part of the Year of Alabama Arts.

The Alabama Bureau of Tourism & Travel, the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and local arts organizations throughout the state have all come together for this special year.   For more information on the Year of Alabama Arts and guides to art experiences in Alabama go online at www.artthatspeaks.com or call 1-800-Alabama.
