Every year, The Kelly holds our “Art Gone Wild” art exhibition, showcasing the truly beautiful wildlife art of our region. The Wetumpka Wildlife Arts Festival is an annual one-day festival celebrating wildlife art as well as the natural beauty of Alabama. Art appreciators and outdoor enthusiasts alike gather together for this festival. We strive every year to pack this festival full of educational presentations, art exhibits and classes, vendors, food, children’s activities, and expert demonstrations.
The Wetumpka Wildlife Arts Festival is held on a Saturday every fall in the Historic Downtown Wetumpka.

Music Gone Wild
Listen with Your Heart
Art is beauty for the eyes.
Music is beauty for the ears.
Both nourish the soul.
Born in Montgomery, Alabama playing the banjo first (the precursor to a wide variety of other stringed and percussion instruments that he can pick up and melt with his hands), River Dan has always embraced the warm comfort of southern appeal in his personality and most importantly in his music. He writes about the trials and tribulations of the life of a simple man, blondes, and being a rambler.
Tony Graydon is a solo acoustic rhythm guitarist & singer-songwriter in Pike Road, Alabama. He covers a variety of both new and old traditional country artists with a sprinkle of classic rock and Jimmy Buffet tunes to mix in.
