We are already celebrating America's 250th anniversary at the Johnson Center for the Arts by providing not one but three collaborative projects that unite us as a community, a patriotic craft in our ArtPlay space, and by featuring 32 local artists who interpreted their place in the country with the theme: "Alabama the Beautiful". If you are looking for a way to be inspired and hopeful about our nation, we invite you to come and take a look. But don't wait! This exhibit comes down Friday, July 3rd. Admission is always FREE!
