The Artys, presented by Mobile Arts Council, will take place on Wednesday, April 9, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel.

Tickets are $65 in advance and $75 at the door, with reserved tables also available. The 20th annual awards show will feature a catered dinner, cash bar, and live music by the Jimmy Roebuck Trio, along with performances by Bent Broadway, Mobile’s Poet Laureate Charlotte Pence, and others throughout the evening.

As always, the Arty awards will be unique, original works of art, with this year’s pieces created by local welder and sculptor Laura Ledbetter.

Recognized as Mobile’s only arts award program, the Artys celebrates impact and excellence across all artistic disciplines. Now in its 20th year, the program has honored individuals, businesses, and organizations that contribute to the growth of the arts and cultural landscape in Mobile.

Special thanks to the 2025 Artys sponsors, including the Mobile County Commission (Commissioners Ludgood and Hudson), Bay Business News, New Horizons Credit Union, Downtown Mobile Alliance, and Alabama Public Radio.
