Artworks: The Throwdown 2
Shaking up the traditional silent auction, Mobile Arts Council has created an event that you don’t want to miss – Artworks Throwdown 2!
This one-of-a-kind silent auction/ loud party features a competition like none other seen in Mobile. Inspired by concepts from some of TV’s most-loved competition shows, Mobile Arts Council has drafted local artists to compete in a battle of creativity.
This year’s competitors are Riley Brenes, David Hebert, Amanda Youngblood, the duo of Yuko Jordan and Satomi Kamei, and, returning to defend his title, Jim Hayward. Each will be given a box with mystery items, a shared supply closet, and 90 minutes to create new works of art. The art will be sold in a live auction at the end of the evening.
The silent auction consists of items donated by area artists and organizations, ranging from paintings, photographs, ceramics and sculptures to tickets for performances and weekend get-a-ways.
While watching the competition and bidding, you can enjoy dancing to the spins of local D.J. Bob Kohrman, food provided by Heroes and The Royal Scam, plenty of beer, wine and, of course, MAC’s signature drink Red Roosters.
ART Works is Mobile Arts Council’s largest annual fundraiser, and all proceeds go to support our mission of bringing people and art together.
Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. You can purchase them at MAC (318 Dauphin St.) or online at Brown Paper Tickets.
Breaking News: Ex Parte Bayliss Overturned by Alabama Supreme Court
Today, the Alabama Supreme Court has issued an opinion in the case of Ex Parte Christopher, which overturns the landmark case of Ex Parte Bayliss. Bayliss is the case which gave Alabama Courts the authority to order parents to pay post-minority support and contribute to college expenses for their children after they reach the age of majority. Under Alabama law, the age of majority is nineteen (19).
If you are already under a court-ordered obligation to pay post-minority support for the benefit of your child, this decision will not effect you as the Court has stated its opinion overruling Bayliss is only applicable in future cases. If no final order has been entered in your case or it is on appeal, then the decision does apply to you. Parents are still free, of course, to voluntarily agree to pay such expenses.
Testimonial from a Recent Divorce & Custody Client
Below is a testimonial which I received from a client, whom I recently represented on a divorce and custody case. This is posted anonymously and with the client’s permission, of course!
After 2 years of an increasing decline in communication between my wife and I, it became clear to me that a divorce was inevitable. We were married for 7+ years and had 2 children together. I truly believed that our children were much better off in my primary care. I realized that I no longer could speak for myself against her and that I needed solid representation in order to litigate my situation in a court. I chose wisely. Ms. Herlihy is truly a professional. She listened to my concerns for both myself and my children, assisted in formulating the best possible approach to achieve my goals, did extensive research in order to prepare both of us for our objective, and ultimately sat by my side for what was the worst day of my life to date. She had me completely prepared, produced every fact and presented them with perfect legal standard, and ultimately dismantled all testimony against me. I am forever thankful for what she has done for me and my family. In the matter of divorce or child custody, there is no other choice than Alison Herlihy.
