Vikki Day, owner of Day Gallery, along with the Atmore Visual Arts Association (AVAA) and Artists in Communities South (AIC South) are bringing a night of entertainment to Atmore while showcasing many pieces of art with “An Evening with the Arts.”
AIC South’s Becca Horne has taken on the project with Day.
There will be many artists showcased from many different areas of the United States, from Mobile to Pensacola, Fla. and even North Carolina.
Artwork created by the six artists will be displayed in the Day Gallery for one month, Horne said.
