The 47th Annual Kathryn Tucker Windham’s Tale Tellin’ Festival will be held at ArtsRevive on October 16, 2025. Founded in 1978 by Kathryn Tucker Windham, the festival has gained national prominence and attracts professional artists annually. Windham was a renowned storyteller, journalist, and author, often called the “Ghost Lady.” The festival honors her legacy, bringing storytellers and listeners of all ages to Selma. Charlie Lucas, Windham‘s long-time friend, will emcee the event and assist with Tellin’ in the Schools, showcasing their blended storytelling and visual art.

ArtsRevive is excited to welcome Yellowhammer Theatre Group back for a third year of live theatre and arts education in Selma. On September 19, Yellowhammer will present a live performance at Gallery 905 while also partnering with Selma High School to mentor six students behind the scenes. Students will be involved in all aspects of production, from working with the director and stage manager to learning how a cast and crew operate as a team. As part of the residency, Yellowhammer will also lead a school-wide assembly and panel discussion for students, families, and educators about careers in the performing arts.

Join us as we come together to honor breast cancer survivors in our community

5:30–7:00 PM

Hosted by the Artists at Create Space, ArtsRevive, Gallery 905, and community sponsors, this reception and fundraiser will kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The public is invited: let’s celebrate strength, community, and hope.

ArtsRevive in partnership with Selma Redevelopment Authority and sponsored by Hawthorne, Atchison, and Riddle Law Group, invites you to celebrate the opening of Unearthly, a new exhibition of work by Selma artist Bradford Brackin.

Brackin never set out to become a potter. What began with curiosity and a few lessons at the wheel turned into a lifelong creative passion. In hand-building clay, she found the freedom, texture, and rhythm that now define her work. Each piece carries a story—pressed lace from her wedding gown, leaves gathered on hikes, or patterns inspired by family heirlooms. The result is functional art that is as distinctive as it is meaningful: pottery meant to be used, loved, and lived with.

A Birmingham native who made Selma home, Brackin has steadily built a presence at shows across the Southeast while remaining deeply connected to the local creative community. At ArtsRevive’s Create Space, she found not only a studio, but also a second home.

Join us October 2 at 5:30 PM for this special opening reception, with dinner available from Reflections Coffee Shoppe from 6–8 PM.

ArtsRevive is proud to present Spiraling, a solo exhibition by acclaimed Alabama artist Pat Snow, opening on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 5:30 PM at Gallery 905 in Selma.

Born in Birmingham and raised in Anniston, Pat Snow earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Alabama, where he studied as a studio assistant for renowned folk artist Rev. Howard Finster. He later completed a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing at the University of Arizona, studying under Robert Colescott and Luis Jimenez.

Snow’s career spans decades and geographies. His work has been featured in residencies at the Ox-Bow School of Art and the Millay Colony, and his pieces are held in the permanent collections of the Birmingham Museum of Art and the Wiregrass Museum of Art. After spending a decade in Austin, Texas—where he participated in Crit Group with The Contemporary Austin and exhibited at major venues including The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio and Smack Mellon Gallery in New York—Snow has returned to Alabama.

Spiraling marks an important homecoming for the artist, whose upcoming exhibitions will take him to Coimbra, Portugal; Berlin, Germany; and Nashville, Tennessee in 2025 and 2026.

ArtsRevive invites the community to join us at Gallery 905 for the opening reception on Thursday, September 4 at 5:30 PM to celebrate the work of Pat Snow and to experience his newest body of work.

Gallery 905 Presents “Entangled”: An Exhibition by Folk Artist Andrew McCall

Opening Reception: Thursday, August 7 | 5:30 PM | Gallery 905, Selma, AL

Gallery 905 is proud to present “Entangled” an exhibition of works by Alabama folk artist Andrew McCall, opening Thursday, August 7th at 5:30 PM. The show features McCall’s whimsical and nature-rooted creations made from hand-gathered vines and salvaged materials - from baskets and birdhouses to tables, chairs, and tiny churches.

Known as the “Vine Man,” McCall has spent the last 40 years walking the woods near his home south of Montgomery, collecting wisteria, grape, and kudzu vines to transform into art. Alongside his wife, Etta, McCall has built a life around faith, creativity, and stewardship of nature. “Working with a wisteria or kudzu vine is kind of like dancing,” he says. “You have to let it tell you what to do, never get ahead of the vine.”

From craft fairs to QVC, from the front porch of Priester’s Pecans to the Kentuck Festival of the Arts, Andrew McCall’s work has inspired collectors and communities across the South. But his story is rooted in something deeper than craft, it’s about listening, responding, and creating with humility. “Everything I do, in my heart, God says, ‘Do it this way. Do it that way.’ So I don’t consider myself self-taught, but a God-taught artist,” says McCall.

Join us for the opening reception on August 7th, 5:30 pm at Gallery 905 to meet the artist and experience the soulful, joyful work of a man who simply follows the vine.
