Art Roundup from the UA Dept. of Art and Art History: today is Wednesday, December 1, 2021. It’s Art Night and First Friday this week, with lots of great shows opening – and closing. As always, check open hours with your favorite gallery — 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 Morris T. Howard and Allison and Johnny Howze for the image above. And thank you for continuing to support artists wherever you can.

ABOUT THIS CALENDAR
Look for the Art Roundup e-list almost every week, a service of the UA Department of Art & Art History. We hope to provide a more or less comprehensive list of free exhibits and visual arts events in West Alabama (*and sometimes a wider net, esp. if West Alabama folks are showing), with hyperlinks. Very occasionally, non-profit events asking for a nominal entry fee or donation will be included. Follow the links to get more information. To send your exhibition info, unsubscribe to this email, or to change or add an email address, please email: rachel.dobson@ua.edu. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
