You’re invited to the Region 1 Awards Ceremony for the Visual Arts Achievement Program (VAAP) & Young at Art! Join us on February 23, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Mobile Arts Council Gallery, located at Room 1927, 6 South Joachim St., Mobile, AL 36602.

This special event will honor talented students from Baldwin, Clarke, Choctaw, Escambia, Mobile, Monroe, and Washington Counties. Art teachers were invited to submit one artwork per student, with a maximum of eight students per school.

Please note: due to ongoing office and gallery renovations, the Alabama State Council on the Arts will not be hosting a regional winners exhibition this year. However, a virtual awards ceremony will be held to recognize the state-level winners on April 25. Virtual invitations will be sent to teachers and students via regional coordinators, and awards and prizes will be mailed directly to the students.

We look forward to celebrating these young artists
