The South is home to incredible artistic talent that spans across many mediums, techniques, and unique points of view. While there is no lack of beautiful art being created locally, there is a lack of spaces to showcase these pieces and interact with the minds behind them. The Loyola Art Show has been envisioned as Mobile’s premier fine art shopping experience and brought to life as a reality. Taking place Aug. 22-23, the show will host more than 60 of the Southeast’s most inspiring artists.
For Kimberly Zukley, a fine artist by trade and a driving force behind The Loyola Art Show, initial inspiration came from time spent at similar events in major cities. In her early years, she said, “I started to immerse myself in events around the country, predominantly in the Southeast that catered to fine artists – shows where you had 50 to 100 artists travel to Nashville or Atlanta.” Apart from the sheer volume of talented artists in one space, she was struck by the feeling emanating from these experiences.
