Art Roundup from the UA Dept. of Art and Art History: today is Wednesday, August 4, 2021. LATE EDIT: The Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center has canceled their First Friday festivities for August 6 (including the UA Gallery and the Arts Council Gallery). The Paul R. Jones Museum, Harrison Galleries and Lorrie Lane Studio are still open but we’ll try to let you know if we hear differently!
August Art Night at Kentuck Art Center is canceled. At posting time, First Friday in Tuscaloosa is still on, but check with your favorite gallery, as always. And get your vaccinations! Galleries, museums and art events can stay open if we are vaccinated, masked and healthy, so please do your part. Events are listed in order of ending date. Thanks to Jude Anogwih for the image above. And thank you for continuing to support your local artists wherever you can. If you go out, please wear a mask to stay safe and healthy!
