On February 28th, the AVEDA Institute Birmingham will present a juried art show featuring artists from colleges around the Birmingham region and the Aveda Institute. It will be juried by Hallie Ringle, Hugh Kaul Curator of Contemporary Art from the Birmingham Museum of Art. The “Best in Show” will receive a $500 dollar grand prize awarded by the Aveda Institute. All artworks will be sold for $100 each with all proceeds benefiting the Cahaba River Society. Last year alone, the Aveda Institute raised $17,500 for the Cahaba River Society. The Cahaba River is the main source of clean drinking water for the greater Birmingham metro area, which serves about one-fifth of Alabama’s population.
