Pilgrimage Preparations

The 1839 Voeglin-Barker-Smitherman House is a work-in-progress, but most of the exterior work will be finished by Friday! Afraid that this downtown property might eventually become a parking lot, a former owner requested that this house not be torn down, and it still stands. New owners Steve and Erika Smitherman are restoring it and will welcome Pilgrimage visitors this weekend.

Dogwoods in Old Town

Ah, Spring!

Walk or ride through Old Town, and take in clouds of dogwood blossoms to recover from last weekend's soaking rains!

The weather folks are forecasting perfect weather for the Selma Pilgrimage this weekend...with highs in the low 70s and plenty of sunshine.

I have posted a new blog focusing just on Selma events since I seem to feature so many of them here, and of course, the Pilgrimage this weekend is the first post. Check it out at Selma Now.

Calling Alabama Artists

Here are a few pieces of art shown at last year's Arts Revive juried exhibition. Now, the call is out for Alabama artists to participate in the seventh annual show.

The show begins March 13 and ends March 22, coinciding with Spring Pilgrimage the second weekend. To enter, artists, sculptors and photographers have until February 18. Selections for the show will be made by a committee from photo and CD entries. The judge, Jessica Ingram, teaches at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.
