For those who will actually stay away from West VA, check out 800Alabama.com. Specifically, the arts scene. (“But Taylor Hicks is from Alabama and one of their Art Ambassadors” you say. Yes, but so is Courteney-Cox Arquette: wife of David, brother to Patricia from True Romance. Which means Patricia could kick Taylor’s ass, so it’s a wash.) Anyway, there’s this quirky campaign running late at night that features doc-like profiles of local artists and talking artwork. Alabama doesn’t have the cache of NYC’s art scene–who does–but I really like the approach. Honestly, does anybody think of art first when they hear the word tourism, let alone ‘Alabama?’ It’s not your typical shiny happy beach and golf course shots. The clips on YouTube are low-key B&W interviews without the full-color talking art of the TV. (That’s a small nit though.) You can check out clips from the rest of the campaign here and click on The Year of Alambama Arts link on the main site to access the arts area.Tags: The Year of Alambama Arts, 800Alabama.com
