AC Satellite

AC Satellite will function as short term office space for our staff while our main galleries at 301 Conti Street undergo redevelopment, and long term as a collaborative community studio space that houses Alabama Contemporary’s Artist in Residence program, education programs, and pop up exhibitions.

As we facilitate a statewide program schedule that sites projects and programs with partner institutions across Alabama, our priority is to keep the critical opportunities we offer intact, and keep a strong footprint in Mobile. 561 Saint Francis Street is a 2,500 square foot warehouse in downtown Mobile, an old Loomis truck depot. We are currently working on an adaptive reuse renovation to establish the space as a permanent satellite location to house and support the creative community through opportunities in studio residency, arts education, and community centered programming. AC Satellite will serve as the long-term home for the current two-year studio Artist in Residence program, temporary administrative hub for the project granting and proposal opportunities we steward, and a site for arts education and public programming.
