Art in the Village topped all-time sales figures this year during the Mountain Brook Art Association's annual spring show held on Saturday, May 4, at City Hall in Crestline.
The show was co-chaired by Bev Bates and Beverley Phillips, and volunteers, artists and City of Mountain Brook all worked together to make the show a success.
Judge Timarie Fisk, a Vestavia High School Art Instructor, awarded ribbons and gift cards to the artists.
Seven artists received honors:
- Best in Show – Professional Level: Sarah Heck
- Best in Show – Semi-Professional Level: Anne Proctor
- Best in Show – Emerging Artist: Jenny Dixon
- Award of Distinction: Ron Lewis
- Award of Distinction: Cathy Phares
- Award of Distinction: Lois Mash
- Winner of the Floral Art Competition: Robert Weathers
Lisa Bailey Designs supported this event by providing a floral arrangement at the February meeting which the artists sketched, photographed and eventually painted to enter into the contest.
The group had a special exhibit of paintings and prints by Janet Tillery, a founding member of MBAA who passed away in 2023. Many of her works were sold to benefit the MBAA as aresult of the artist’s generous bequest.
