Montevallo Presbyterian Church sees art as a form of ministry, and it doesn't have to be religious by nature, paraphrasing Tonia Mayton, who serves as our curator for the Robin Nance Metz Gallery at MPC. The goal of the art gallery, which will feature different artists every other month, is to highlight local artists, as well as art students from the University of Montevallo and other local schools.
The art gallery allows MPC to more fully utilize the space in the church, while striving to be good stewards of the property. Our church welcomes other into our space, whether it's for Sunday worship service, the art gallery, our Threshold initiative, PFLAG meetings, or a number of other ways that allow us to welcome members of the community.
Artists that are interested in showing their work in MPC's art gallery can inquire using the form at the bottom of this page to be connected with Tonia Mayton regarding open dates and all the details.

Peter Wilm - Free Art for All
Peter Wilm is an Alabama artist and musician, currently residing in Birmingham, Alabama. His style can be described as simultaneously visionary and illustrative. Picture the street art minimalism of Keith Haring running headfirst into the dream-inducing surrealism of Salvador Dali. Displayed at this show are many of Peter’s Guerilla Gorilla Art pieces. Guerilla Gorilla Art is a project started by Wilm in which many one-of-a-kind drawings on cardboard were once installed twice a month or so in random areas of Birmingham and the surrounding areas. Anyone and everyone was invited to take the art home free of charge and let Peter know (via Instagram) that the piece was found. The same spirit of free art is felt at this showing!
