Mobile Arts Council is proud to announce the winners of the 2026 FIVE Show, a biennial juried exhibition celebrating student artists from across the Mobile area.

The FIVE Show will be on view at MAC’s Gallery @ Room 1927 through April 30, 2026.

Mobile Arts Council extends sincere thanks to this year’s prize sponsors—Ashland Gallery, Sophiella Gallery, Lupercalia Art Society, The Mobile Museum of Art, and The Frenchmen—as well as to juror Kimberly Zukley for her thoughtful selection of works. We are also grateful to the students and professors whose participation makes this exhibition possible year after year.

FIVE is a biennial juried exhibition featuring work by students from five local colleges and universities. The exhibition provides an opportunity for emerging artists to present their work in a professional gallery setting, connect with fellow creatives, and gain public recognition. Participation is open to all students enrolled during the current academic year at Bishop State Community College, Coastal Alabama Community College, Spring Hill College, the University of Mobile, and the University of South Alabama. Students are not required to major in art or be enrolled in art courses to participate.

Their mission is to enrich the quality of life in the Mobile area through increasing accessibility to the arts and promoting a vibrant cultural community.
