art By all accounts, 2010 ART in the PARK was a huge success! Perfect weather and the move to Gamble Park proved to be a smooth transition.The date was earlier this year and in a new loction (the event had been held in June at Memorial park for the first 6 years). Record numbers of artists participated, and a number of key sponsors helped make the day a success. The newspaper suggested 'hundreds' of visitors, but our belief is at least a thousand were in attendance. Because of the new venue, lots of space was given to each artists. The meandering stream which runs through the park added to the beautiful treed setting. Also, new this year were awards and the show was a juried event. Read More - Photos


CAWACO Grant

The Cawaco Resource Conservation and Development Council has announced a $5,000 award to Walker County Arts Alliance, as part of their Challenge Grant Program.  The Arts Alliance projects include two in-school programs:  Pottery and Creative Writing/Storytelling.

The Pottery project ties together artwork and history. Student learn to express themselves with  hand-made pottery. A Native American herself, Mrs. Manasco fires the clay pieces for the students in her kiln and returns them for each to keep. Native American customs are demonstrated, which tie in to the Alabama 4 th grade History curriculum, as students learn about pottery making through the ages.

With the Creative Writing/Storytelling program, renowned storyteller, Mrs. Billie Seales, reinforces the creative writing curriculum with techniques specifically developed for 5 th graders, as they approach their state writing assessment.

Cawaco Resource Conservation and Development Council helps to plan and carry out activities that increase conservation of natural resources, support economic development and enhance the environment and standard of living in local communities. The Council offers small Challenge Grants ($1,000-$5,000) to assist public and other 501(c)(3) agencies in their efforts to serve community needs in Blount, Chilton, Jefferson, Shelby, and Walker Counties. For more information about Cawaco or the Challenge Grant Program, visit their website www.cawaco.org .
