HPL Galleries: Artist Talk Series with ASFA

This event will be shared through HPL Galleries on Instagram, Thursday, July 9th at 3 pm

Meet the 10th-grade students and artists from the Alabama School of Fine Arts in this Zoom artist talk. They will discuss and share their artwork in this pre-recorded virtual event. This is a wonderful way to engage with the work of young Alabama artists and learn about their practice and subject matter.

ASFA is a public school that provides tuition-free instruction for impassioned students, grades 7-12. The school’s focused specialty instruction is in Creative Writing, Dance, Mathematics and Science, Music, Theatre Arts and Visual Arts. This exhibition is organized by ASFA Visual Arts Faculty, Anne Herbert.

Virtual Exhibition / July 2020
This exhibition will be shared through HPL Galleries on Instagram

HPL Galleries is thrilled to announce this online exhibition, Spectres, by artist Michelle Jones. This exhibition consists of eleven works on paper that conceptualize the landscape as a protagonist and explore the unpredictable dynamics that paint offers when control and experimentation are utilized simultaneously.

Michelle Jones earned her MFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art in 2005 and a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi in 2002. A native of central Mississippi, Jones spent eleven years in Boston, MA producing paintings and quilts as well as a handmade children’s clothing line that was sold in boutiques along the East Coast. Jones made the journey back South in 2014, and resides in Mobile, AL with her husband and daughter.

About the Hoover Public Library Galleries

Visual art is an integral to the Hoover Public Library. We have a vast permanent collection ranging from purchase awards from our Southern Voices featured artists to pieces selected to complement our facility. Through our partnership with the Bluff Park Art Association, we sometimes host pieces from their permanent collection. We have a Frank Fleming sculpture on permanent loan from them as well.

We own two photography collections, Chip Cooper's Alabama Troubadours collection and photos of Joe Minter's Sculpture garden. These travel for display throughout the Hoover/Birmingham area.

To encourage art for all ages, the Hoover Public Library displays artwork by children from Hoover schools.

We rotate the displays in our other galleries to exhibit nationally and regionally juried artists (Friends Gallery and Plaza Gallery) as well as up-and-coming local artists (Administrative Gallery).



Request to show your art in our galleries.
