Picture of the Week – 9/4/19
Here is a view of Montgomery from Cooter’s Pond Park in Prattville. The view was a nice surprise. I also enjoyed sitting at the bench near the boat launch watching the boats be put in and taken out of the water. There was a nice breeze coming over the water as well. It’s a nice […]
Artists Wanted
The clock is ticking. Midnight this Saturday (August 17) marks the deadline for artists to submit their work to the Montgomery Art Guild/Regions Bank Art Show. We recently sat down with some of the Guild’s leadership for a wide-ranging conversation, and we’ll write about that soon, but for now we’re here to encourage you to […]
MMFA’s new sculpture garden
On a recent Sunday, we were taking the dog to our muddy public dog park and decided to swing by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts to see what was happening there. Alas, we missed the Artists’ Market, which had been the previous day, but we did get to wander around the place. There was […]
There’s No ‘I’ in “Theater”
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller Director Alexander Zeldin once said: “Theatre is always about together, whether it’s the audience and the performer or the group of people that are making the work or the wider community that the work is connected to in some way.” As […]
There’s Summer Yet for Art Camps

(Note: If you are interested in covering the array of child-friendly events around Midtown, check out last week’s post about how to write for our site). That’s why we wanted […]
Kickstart Some Art
For several years now, the local holiday pop-up shop has become a fixture of our gift-acquiring (and subsequent giving) efforts. The pop-up shop an amazing annual project that brings together the work of local artists using all kinds of media for a limited time only. We only regret that it’s just open over the holidays, […]
Whales & Souls at the Playhouse
It was freezing cold. We’d been urged to wear coats and bring blankets, but still we found ourselves sitting outside in the courtyard of the Cloverdale Playhouse blowing into our hands to keep warm. It was a dress rehearsal for Chris Roe’s one man show, Whales & Souls, which is showing for only an extremely […]
The Capitol Showcase Consumer Art Exhibition
As I scanned the room, lingering over cheerful landscapes and cubist faces, my eyes were drawn to the blue and yellow butterflies with a spiky black sea urchin floating around a shadowy self. Green and purple dripped down the grey human form like wild, alive colors that had to escape. I stared for a long […]
Artoberfest
Ah. The light is changing. Mornings and some evenings are cooler. It’s fall in Capitol Heights, and we love it! However, my garden is not cooperating. No spider lilies. No sunflowers. But another harbinger of fall is in full swing: the Capitol Heights Artoberfest. On Saturday, October 8, from 9:00 to 1:00, all kinds of […]
