Prospectus
ArtsRevive is pleased to open registration for its 13th annual juried art competition. The show has grown significantly over the past several years in size and popularity, and most importantly, in the quality of the submissions for consideration. Alabama Artists: Roots and Wings is a reflection of that growth. Entry for 2015 is open to artists who are from Alabama although they may now live and work elsewhere (Wings) as well as those artists who continue to call Alabama home (Roots). The ArtsRevive show has built a reputation for its varied sampling of Alabama talent at its finest and this will expand that showcase. The exhibition coincides with 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Selma and the American Civil War allowing patrons from across the south the opportunity to admire the work of our Alabama artists. The show is held in the ArtsRevive Carneal Building on the banks of the Alabama River in the heart of historic downtown Selma.
