The 21st Artys Awards Nominations are open

The Mobile Arts Council is excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 21st Annual Artys Awards! This annual award ceremony is the only one of its kind in Mobile and recognizes the incredible talent within our local creative community, celebrating the achievements and contributions of individuals and organizations who have made a significant impact across all realms of the arts.

Nominations are open for more than a dozen categories, and we encourage you to reflect on the past year — who inspired you, who grew as an artist, who pushed boundaries, and who went above and beyond in their creative pursuits? Visit www.mobilearts.org/theartys/ to submit your nominations by January 31, 2026 and help us recognize those who have shaped the arts in Mobile. We look forward to hearing from the community and celebrating the exceptional talent that makes Mobile such a dynamic and creative city.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please contact Angela Montgomery at amontgomery@mobilearts.org.
