The Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival announces a "Call to all Artists"
The Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival announces a call to all artists to submit pieces for a new juried art exhibition on the theme of roosters. "Rooster Call" will be held in conjunction with the seventh annual Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival set for April 9-10, 2011 at the Lions Club Fairgrounds in Moulton, AL.
We are very excited about this new aspect of the Festival. While it is open to any artist 18 years old or older in the United States, there are many talented artists right here in Alabama and we look forward to seeing how many different ways a rooster can be portrayed!
Previous festivals have been successful in presenting music and storytelling to the community. And, while we have had a variety of arts and crafts vendors on hand, there has been a lack of visual arts for festival-goers to appreciate.
Below, you will find more details on the juried competition. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please forward the information on to them.
Sincerely,
Vicki Morese, Event Coordinator
Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival
BE THE FIRST IN THE ROOSTER HALL OF FAME
The jury panel will select one Best of Show artist, a second place, and a third place. The Best of Show recipient wins a $500 cash prize, a listing in the Rooster Hall of Fame, and the opportunity for the work to be featured in future promotions. Second place and third place will be awarded $300 and $200, respectively. The winning submission will be determined by creative vision, innovation, potential to engage an audience, and overall impression. In addition, 12 pieces will be selected and featured in a new calendar for 2012.
All artistic mediums will be accepted, and along with roosters, artwork on the theme of hens, chicks and eggs are encouraged.
PUBLIC VIEWING OF ARTWORK
All artwork submitted will be on exhibit for public viewing at Art Inspirations of the Valley located at 552 Lawrence Street in Moulton from March 1 to April 29, 2011 and will be presented at the Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival on April 9-10, 2011.

Art News from Ascribing Artist Judy Bobula
"Sunlit Bog" by Judy Bobula, copyright
"Sea and Sky" by Judy Bobula, copyright
Event: 54th Annual St. James Court Art Show
Date: October 1, 2 & 3, 2010
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Friday & Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sunday
Place: Louisville, Kentucky
Judy Bobula will be exhibiting in the 54th Annual St. James Court Art Show. Judy will join over 700 artists from throughout the United States to exhibit and sell her mixed media paintings at the event. The Saint James Court Art Show is set outdoors in the heart of Old Louisville’s Victorian-era district in Louisville, Kentucky. This year it will be held October 1, 2 & 3.
The Art Show was named the number one fine art and craft show in the country by Sunshine Artist in their “200 Best” issue. It is also ranked in the Top Ten Fall Events in Kentucky by the Kentucky Tourism Council, and is one of the Top 20 Events in the southeast according to the Southeast Tourism Society.
Judy comments that she is constantly looking for found items to add to her art. "Some people would call me a dumpster diver. While I have a general idea of where I am going, I mainly works intuitively and add the found items as I go along. Sometimes I am half way through a painting and find it isn't working. All is not lost. I have learned something and the piece can eventually be used somewhere else."
For more information, contact Ms. Bobula at paintpal@gmail.com or visit her web-site at www.judybobula.com.
