Art Gallery

Big show for everybody

The People’s Art Exhibition

Where: Space 301 (301 Conti St.)

When: through Sept. 5

The first edition of this show materialized in 2005 and its second manifestation greets the curious in the Centre for the Living Arts’ contemporary arts center.

The show features over 250 works from area dabblers and professionals alike with the mediums and styles as varied as the talent.

The voluminous exhibit is the first in the environs of the newly renovated hall, a $5.2 million dollar project that took over a year to complete and has vastly expanded its capabilities.

Gallery hours are Wed. – Sat., 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sun., noon – 5 p.m.

Night for the players to shine

MOJO

Summer

Jam

Session

Where:

Gulf

City Lodge

(601 State St.)

When:

Monday,

July 28,

6:30 p.m.

Musicians are often forced to play to the tastes of the audience regardless of how it meshes with their personal preferences. As a result, they relish the opportunity to break out of familiar confines and delve further into improvisational art.

The Mystic Order of the Jazz Obsessed presents a chance for area players to strut their stuff before uncommonly appreciative fans on Monday, July 28 in the historic home of MOJO adjacent to Dunbar Performing Arts School in downtown Mobile.

The rhythm section will be Corky Hughes and Vibration Configuration, a stellar combo in their own right who elicited rave reviews at two previous MOJO events this year.

Entrance is $10, $7 for MOJO members and free for all participating musicians. MOJO members are asked to bring a covered dish in true summer picnic fashion.

A cash bar will be available.

For further info, call 251-459-2298 or e-mail mobilejazz@bellsouth.net.
