Art association hosts show in Crestline

The Mountain Brook Art Association hosted its 36th annual Art in the Village spring show on Earth Day, April 22.

The show was open to painters, sketch artists and other artists who are members of the MBAA or live within 25 miles of Mountain Brook. However, it was only limited to two-dimensional artistic creations, not crafts, pottery, photography, sculpture or other forms of art. Attendees of the event, hosted at Crestline Elementary's sports field, had a chance to meet and buy from local artists directly.

The event included portrait sketches, the Birmingham Belles and jazz music from the Choko Aiken Band. Nearby at Mountain Brook City Hall, Mason Music and the Mountain Brook High School Band provided more musical entertainment.

Members of the MBAA competed in a juried show as well. Amy Grimes, Anita Bice and Tricia Robinson were each awarded best in show. Janet Sanders, Mary Mellon, Ron Lewis, Dan McDaniel, Carol Carmichael and volunteer Portia Williams received Awards of Distinction, and Joan Curtis won the Norton's Florist competition.
