Arty Party is an annual art auction benefiting BAO. Local, regional, and national artists donate their art to BAO for this event. There are typically over 200 pieces of art with 15 of the pieces in a live auction. Each year there is an Arty Party Committee that produces the event, as well as an honorary chair and a featured artist. The 2016 featured artist is Gay Shorr and honorary chairs are Kim Graham Smith and Matt Smith. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres, and wine will be available. A cash bar will be available as well.  Committee co-chairs include Barbara Lawson, Becky Lawson, Betty Lawson, and Brett Shaffer.  Visit birminghamaidsoutreach.org for more information.
