My wife, Melody, loves art, and whenever we travel she's certain to find a Museum or festival to visit. When traveling about Alabama, we've discovered many artistic sites and crafty items like those on exhibit in at the Eastern Shore Art Center. With galleries filled with exhibits that change monthly and art by Member Artist, you'll always discover something unexpected at the Eastern Shore Art Center.
If we had more time on our trips, my wife would certainly join one of the classes or workshops held in the spacious studios that are offered for adults and children. The Eastern Shore Art Center also host an Outdoor Art Show each year. Art Shows not only highlight the local talent of Artist, they are also a great way to learn new techniques and share creative ideas. And, since the Art Center is located in the Gulf coast area of Alabama you'll find many works that feature scenes of the natural beauty and wildlife. During the Art Show, which runs during the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival, you'll find over a hundred booths with arts and crafts in many mediums at this FREE event.
