The annual Arti Gras held at Russell Crossroads gives artists from all over the state the opportunity to showcase their artwork in Alexander City. 

The event kicked off shortly after the July 4 festivities around the lake. Friday morning, local artists along with creators from Auburn, Huntsville and other cities set up booths displaying their unique artwork. From realistic portraits, to jewelry made from real flowers, to Biblical scenes hand-carved from wood, there was no shortage of creativity at the Crossroads.

Artists showcased their creations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 5 and 6.
