It s a very high quality show. Charles M. Mack Clark, dean of the UM College of Arts and Sciences and director of Drawl, said the exhibit is one of the best-kept secrets in the South. With a Southern Drawl started out as Art and the Alabama Woman, he recalled. From that start, we have expanded the show to include all Southern artists, adding one state at a time until we reached all seven southern states a few years ago. Clark said more than 1,000 works of art were entered in the competition, and 101 were accepted and will be on display at T.T. Martin Hall on the University of Mobile campus.
Admission is free.
