This past Friday night, Oct. 26, Arts! Alive appeared on Dauphin Street. Numerous booths, artists and galleries were open for exploration. Various artists were available to chat with and music, food and wine were readily accessible.
The Student Art Association had a large area reserved including a booth, tables and easels. Many South Alabama students participated and sold their paintings and ceramic pieces to local Mobilians.
Along with the Student Art Association, several other booths lined the street displaying an array of mediums. "Thrown Art" displayed Mardi Gras beads on 3-D forms and shapes. "Life's Little Treasures" showed stone, glass and jewel necklaces and earrings.
Another booth titled "Karmic Wolf and White Raven" contained photography, key chains and paintings of Japanese Koi fish.
A booth was set aside for the sale of Beinville books, as well as an area for the book signing of "Ruben's Mobile." Kate Seawall, a South Alabama art instructor, and Dr. Sue Walker, a South Alabama English professor, collaborated on the creation of this book.
"Razzle Dazzle Glass" contained glass, hand-made jewelry and sculpture. Dunbar Middle School presented student work, including ink, pencil and watercolor images. The Sierra Club was also there promoting clean energy and a healthy environment.
"Collages By Ryan Jetter" contained several collages on wooden panels. The collages portrayed images of people, places and animals. "All Good Creatures, LLC." was very inspiring and poetic. The paintings were abstract, passionate, and energetic. "Brushworks/Brilliance" was the title of a booth that contained numerous images of beach scenes. Crabs, fish, dolphins, sea turtles and light houses were portrayed. The paintings were also available in prints and cards.
Kym Brown, a local painter, displayed several interesting pieces. Kym said, "I use my hands, paper towels and various textures. It is definitely a hands-on experience and it is really fun." Her work was expressive and inspiring.
