The Bluff Park Art Show will take place on Saturday, October 2, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Admission to the overall event is FREE, except for the Kids Art Hut sponsored by Girl Scout Troop 746 (which is $6 per hour between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., cash and cards accepted), and attendees may come and go as desired. A unique aspect of this annual event is that the Bluff Park Art Association specifically strives to engage all five senses of event attendees:

Sidney Carter, a Georgia artist who won the top award at the 2016 Bluff Park Art Show, works with a young visitor to his booth.

SEE – Event attendees will have the chance to explore various types of handmade art designed by artists from around the Southern region. They will find unique fashions, gifts, sculptures, prints, and mixed-media of all kinds.
TOUCH – Children will absolutely love the interactive hands-on art activities waiting for them to launch their journey to becoming the next artist. No matter the age, children find their inner artist takes the lead as they create something new.
HEAR – Enjoy music performed by Alabama musicians throughout the day!
TASTE & SMELL – Allow your sense of smell to fuse with your taste buds as you explore a vast array of food trucks from around the Birmingham area!

Musician Jordan Beam will perform at the Bluff Park Arts show on October 2.

This aim led to the Bluff Park Arts Show being voted Best Community Event of 2020 by Hoover’s Magazine and Hoover Sun. Click here for the full art show schedule, including Food Truck Alley participants and scheduled Music & Entertainment for the day!
