Riverfront Photo Winner

This is a picture of a picture, but here is the winning photo in the adult division of the riverfront photo contest sponsored by Arts Revive. The photographs were displayed on Riverfront Market Day. This view of the Alabama River is taken on a foggy morning from Songs of Selma Park. The Edmund Pettus Bridge can be seen in the background.

Arts Revive

The Arts Revive board of directors is extra busy these days planning projects for autumn and beyond. I was over at Dallas Academy's Ceramics Arts Center one day last week when they were meeting, and they graciously posed for a photo.

First up is a Jewelry Making Workshop Sept. 15, and next is Riverfront Market Day Oct. 13. This group will have 10 booths (yep...10!) booths at Market Day. There will be art of course, and of special interest is a photography contest titled "Through My Eyes...The Riverfront."
Contestants will submit photos that include either the Alabama or Cahaba River in Selma or Dallas County, and they will be displayed at Market Day. There's cash awarded for the best photos, and you had better hurry! Deadline is Oct. 1.

This group is the same one that has sponsored the spring art show at the Harmony Club, and next year will participate even more with Spring Pilgrimage via live art and music at the venues.

Board members in the photo are: (L to R sitting.....Karen Weir, Fran Pearce, Ann Thomas, Molly Gamble; L to back...Charles Moss, Gale Bedgood, Cindy Stoudenmire)
