Youth in Blossom: Responses to the Paul R. Jones Collection
Through February 21, 2025.
The public is invited to a reception on Friday, February 7, 2025, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. during Tuscaloosa’s First Friday Art Walk.

Youth in Blossom is an exhibition of the PRJCAA K-12 Outreach Program, a long-running exhibition series that brings connection and art education to local schools. Partnering with faculty and staff in the UA Department of Art and Art History, the program introduces elementary and secondary school students to artworks from the Paul R. Jones Collection of American Art at The University of Alabama.
This year, 48 students at Sipsey Valley Middle School created an exhibition inspired by artworks in the Collection. Art teacher and UA alumni Tanesha J. Childs helped students throughout the process.
