Art In The Park

The Art in the Park festival is sponsored by the Walker County Arts Alliance in order to help educate the public about the creative efforts of local and regional artists and to add to the cultural climate of the community.

In 2011, over 80 artists were represented, traveling from Louisiana, Mississippi and all across Alabama. Hand-crafted art included painting, drawing, wood carving, stained glass, sculpture, pottery, fabric arts, jewelry, and much more.

Children’s activities, including take-home art projects and storytelling, are always a big hit.

Come and enjoy the beautiful, shady grounds of Gamble Park* adjacent to the Jasper campus of Bevill State Community College while browsing all the best local arts and crafts. This spacious park features extensive walking trails, playgrounds and picnic areas, and is close to many dining and hotel facilities.

GRANT NEWS

The Arts Alliance is pleased to announce that a $7,500 grant provided by The Daniel Foundation of Alabama will help support, in part, two In-School initiatives – Pottery and Creative Writing & Storytelling. With Mrs. Ruth Manasco, 4th grade students will explore Native American pottery techniques, demonstrating how hand-formed vessels were used. Students will create their own art objects and vessels with Alabama clay, and once the pieces are fired they will be returned to each student.  Mrs. Billie Seales encourages 5th graders to exercise their imaginations with her inspiring Storytelling techniques and productive Creative Writing workshops.  Lynn Mishkel is to be congratulated for her efforts in securing this grant!


50-Mule Team Public Art Project

The 50-Mule Team Public Art Project has been a great success! Maps are available at the office and at most Mule locations. Take a Mule tour through Jasper and Walker County! (Click Here For Samples)
