Traditions help to make institutions recognizable.  They are also what continues to buttress our Montevallo experience.


UM's College of Fine Arts through the Art Department puts on the Annual Alumni Art Auction, which in its 19th year, continues to produce remarkable results for the Art Foundation.
This year’s fundraiser had over 100 contributions of artwork and as many alumni in attendance.  In just under two hours the event raised more than $4500 for the Art Foundation account according to Art Department Chair Professor Scott Stephens, making it one of the best auctions of the past 19 years. 
The artwork put forth this year made the event a tremendous success and it was an excellent demonstration of the Art Department’s talent.
Professor Stephens said, “It’s usually a fun event and we are really proud that we can sell all the work.”
