Crowds turn out for inaugural River Region Art Summit

Cliff Williams / TPI Alabama State Council on the Arts visual arts program manager and gallery director Amy Jenkins speaks to artists gathered at The Kelly Saturday for the inaugural River Region Art Summit.

It might have been a wet day in Wetumpka on Saturday, but it didn’t rain on the first River Region Arts Summit.

The event allowed artists and organizations supporting the arts to connect at The Kelly Fitzpatrick Center for the Arts. Executive director Jennifer Eifert thought the weather might keep people away.
