The Artys is Mobile’s only arts award program that acknowledges the priceless contributions made to the arts and cultural community. For seventeen years, Mobile Arts Council has presented these awards to recognize the creative achievements of individuals, organizations, and businesses. Each year members of the community submit nominations, which are then narrowed down to a winner in each category by a panel of arts professionals. The winner of each category is honored at the awards event and presented with the Arty, a limited edition work of art created by a different local artist each year.

This year's award artist is Mary Elizabeth Kimbrough, and the tentative date is set for August 26th at the Steeple. Nominations are now closed for the 17th Annual Artys, and this year's recipients will be announced soon.

You can still submit an individual for "The Final Curtain." This pportion of the awards program will acknowledge and honor the individuals who have recently passed away (2019-2021). In order to be in included, each individual must have played a role in impacting the arts and cultural community in our area.
