What is the Monster Makeover Art Auction and Festival?
The idea for The Monster Makeover was born out of a “wouldn’t-this-be-cool” conversation between a few Tuscaloosa News employees. Originally proposed as a one-time illustration in the newspaper in 2010, the concept of professional artists recreating fantastic monsters imagined and drawn by school children turned into a modest, charity art auction that raised about $2,000 for art education. The next year, the buzz and excitement grew, the show doubled in size, and the art was published in a fun, keepsake book, raising about $4,000 for schools damaged in the April 27, 2011, tornado.
Mission/ Purpose
The Monster Makeover Art Auction and Festival’s mission is to provide a fun, safe way
for the Tuscaloosa community to celebrate local art and artists while also raising money to
support arts in local schools.
