This Mother’s Day weekend, downtown Birmingham will be buzzing with artistic flair as Art Birmingham returns to Shane Park for its 44th year. The family-friendly event promises a vibrant mix of creativity, featuring 150 artists across various mediums, including painting, jewelry, and more.
Marie Parmer, an abstract mixed-media artist, and Allison Neal, Senior Director of Marketing and Partnerships for the Guild, appeared on “Live In The D” to discuss the much-anticipated event. Neal emphasized the wide array of offerings, saying, “We’ll have 150 artists, all different mediums. We have painting, jewelry, a little bit for everyone.”
Parmer shared her artistic journey, crediting her mother for inspiring her to become a full-time painter. “It never would have even occurred to me to even go to art school if I hadn’t seen her success and her being so happy with what she did,” said Parmer.
In addition to the art, the event will feature interactive activities, including puppet-making and live music, courtesy of the Birmingham Bluefield Art Center. Adult attendees can also enjoy beverages, adding to the festive atmosphere.
