One of the area's two large, annual art shows comes to Birmingham this Memorial Day weekend: the 31st annual Art Birmingham, sponsored by the Guild of Artists and Artisans and the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center.

After having to shut down early last year due to heavy rains, Art Birmingham will be returning to its central spot in and around Shain Park this year, with more than 175 local and national artists participating in the two-day fair.
