The Gallery On 1st A Collaboration of the Chilton-Clanton Public Library and the Central Alabama Alliance

04/30/2026

The Central Alabama Arts Alliance thoroughly enjoyed meeting the incredibly artistic Chilton County High School Students, today, at The Gallery On 1st during the Chilton County Artist Meet & Greet - RSVP ‼️ Thanks to their Art Instructor Hollie Colburn, we've had the honor of showing their art during the entire month of April and are looking forward to the CCHS April 2027 Exhibit.
We enjoyed meeting Amber L Skidmore of Serenity Steps Prevention & Recovery LLC and are looking forward to displaying her literary work from the CA3 Studio window. Amber is also a Chilton-Clanton Public Library Toddler Story/Art Time Sponsor, for which we are very grateful.
We thoroughly enjoyed viewing the Inktober sketches of Artist Rachel Palmer Herron and are in discussion to collaborate with her on a few projects in the near future. She is always a joy and we are honored to know her.
It is also a great honor to have FINALLY met Ashley Enoch of Ashley Bond Art . We are super fans, having followed her art since her Best in Show piece titled "The Reporter" displayed at the Shelby County Arts Council in 2022. We are looking forward to collaborating with Ashley on a few projects in the near future, as well.

Our quarterly Artist Meet & Greet is your space to connect, collaborate, and create alongside fellow artists in the community. Whether you’re looking for support on a project, ready to collaborate, or simply want to be inspired by others who share your passion, this is where it happens.
We invite all artists to join us at the next Artist Meet & Greet, come introduce yourself, share your work, and be part of something growing right here in Chilton County. Your next collaboration, opportunity, or breakthrough could start in this room. 🧠

Special thanks to Lawlis Music and Piper Peach Radio for your endless, never failing support. ✨️
