The Artys is Mobile’s only awards program that acknowledges the priceless contributions made to the arts and cultural community across all realms of the arts. For seventeen years, Mobile Arts Council has presented these awards to recognize the creative achievements of individuals, organizations, and businesses. Each year members of the community submit nominations, which are then narrowed down to a winner in each category by a panel of arts professionals. The winner of each category is honored at the awards event and presented with the Arty, a limited edition work of art created by a different local artist each year. This year's award artist is Mary Elizabeth Kimbrough, and the NEW in-person event date is set for January 27th at the Steeple on Saint Francis. Congratulations to our honorees! Tickets are on sale now! You can still submit an individual for "The Final Curtain." This portion of the awards program will acknowledge and honor the individuals who have recently passed away (2019-2021). In order to be in included, each individual must have played a role in impacting the arts and cultural community in our area.
