MOBILE, Ala. – The Artys, presented by Mobile Arts Council, will be held Wednesday, April 9^th, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel.

This year, the Mobile Arts Council is honoring Mary Frances Clarke, Tanya Parent, Bruce Larsen, Spoken Word of Mobile, Drew Hall, Susan Rouillier, LaDarrel Bell, The Mobile Jewish Film Festival, Hannah Legg, Cherelle “CeCe” Smith, David Rasp, and Steve Mussell.

This year’s Arty awards, which are always an original work of art, were created by local welder and sculptor, Laura Ledbetter.

We are still accepting nominations for “The Final Curtain” to the 20^th Annual Artys awards ceremony. This segment of the event will acknowledge and honor the individuals who have recently passed away (2024-present) but played a role in impacting the arts and cultural community in Mobile.

The Artys is Mobile’s ONLY arts award program that recognizes both impact and excellence across all realms of the arts. In its 20^th year, this program has presented awards to individuals, businesses, and organizations who are dedicated to improving the arts and cultural scene in the Mobile area.
