The City of Gadsden and the Alabama Visual Arts Network invite you to participate in the Alabama Arts Trail on Broad event in Gadsden, Alabama, May 8th - 9th. The Alabama Arts Trail is a statewide initiative that connects the public with Alabama’s visual artists and the places where creative work is made and shared. It encourages exploration within local communities while attracting visitors from across the state and beyond, helping artists reach new audiences, build meaningful connections, and create opportunities for engagement and sales. We invite you as an artist to demonstrate your work, sell your work, network with other artists, and support the arts in Alabama. All artists working across the visual arts media, including sculpture, photography, painting, ceramics, and more, are invited to participate.
This will be a rain or shine event.
