Helen Keller Art Show of Alabama – 2017

April 1 - May 13, 2017

For over a decade, WMA has hosted the Helen Keller Art Show of Alabama, an exhibition of work created by Alabama students with visual impairments, blindness, and deafness. The exhibition is juried statewide, travels from Birmingham to Mobile, and select pieces are also shown internationally. The Helen Keller Art Show of Alabama emphasizes creativity, color, and tactile media in the arts. The winning entry for the grand prize is selected by the Helen Keller Festival Board to receive the Patty Johnson Award, and will remain in the permanent collection at Ivy Green in Tuscumbia, AL, the birthplace of Helen Keller.

Don’t miss your chance to view these powerful works by a group of courageous and talented students. The Helen Keller Art Shows of Alabama will be on view from April 1st through May 13th in the Coleman Gallery.
