The Remember Art Show, a silent auction benefiting Alberta Baptist Church, will be held Sunday, Feb. 17, at the Cypress Inn Loft in downtown Tuscaloosa.
Sarah Day, a junior majoring in nursing, decided to put her artistic talents to use and support the church’s rebuilding efforts after it was damaged by the April 27, 2011 tornado.
“I’d always been an artist since middle school and never had a way to give back,” Day said. “I decided I needed to give back to the community and spread the word.”
After the tornado, Day said she heard Alberta Baptist continued to have church in the same spot as before but worshipped in the parking lot.
“We heard about it and called and asked about their funding situation,” Day said. “Seeing there was a need, we decided to choose them based on how strong their faith is.”

The event will feature 60 Christian-based paintings to be auctioned off at various prices and 100 scripture bracelets inscribed with Bible verses for $10.
Remember Art Show will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information, visit their Facebook page or email [email protected].
