Upcoming Book Signing

Here is the scoop
and you can go to www.birminghamsketchbook.blogspot.com
to get more information about the artists!


Homewood's Four Seasons Antiques, Art and Botanicals hosts a book signing and art opening for the new book release: Birmingham Sketchbook.

On Friday, February 20, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., you will have an opportunity to collect a copy of the beautiful collection of artwork by area artists that captures the history of the city of Birmingham.

Author Allison Puccetti Adams and artists Warren Mullins, She She (Vaughn), Justin Banger, and Kevin Jones, Linda Vance, Craig Gallaway, and Beverly Klamer will be at Four Season's Antiques, Art and Botanicals so you can have multiple signatures for your one of a kind copy of Birmingham Sketchbook.

Artwork by each of the artists will also be available for sale.


This book not only has beautifully rendered images of a city's past, but the story also weaves a narrative that encourages the reader to think about their own unique fingerprint that might create the future of this bright city.


Be thinking about this as a great gift for a birthday, wedding, Mother's Day or Father's Day -- or just an inspiring treat for yourself.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday at Four Seasons Antiques, Art and Botanicals on the main street in Homewood (2910 18th Street South)
