Artwalk at ACAC

Alabama Contemporary Art Center is open every second Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. with entry by donation for Downtown Mobile’s monthly LODA Artwalk, and we almost always have a special visitors, programs, exhibitions, and/or activities to celebrate creative thinking. The Member Bar is also available to our adult members during each Artwalk while they enjoy all artist talks, exhibitions, and programs.

In November, exhibiting artist Emma Robbins drops by to discuss her work on view in the current exhibition Borderwaters, and our Education team will occupy the little ones with a mixed media make-and-take station inspired by work in this exhibition.

Emma Robbins will present an informal gallery talk at 7 p.m. Robbins is a Diné artist, activist, and community organizer with a passion for empowering Indigenous women. Through her artwork, she strives to raise awareness about the lack of clean water on Native Nations and educate viewers about issues such as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis, representations and misrepresentations of Native Peoples, and broken treaties. She explores these themes through photography, installation and through the use materials foraged from the Navajo Nation and other trips across the U.S. and abroad. Join us this Native American Heritage Month in honoring this important work.

Our Curator of Education, Pame Cevallos, will also be on deck to help put key concepts addressed in Borderwaters to work at a make-and-take station for kids from 6 to 8 p.m. With a $5 supplies donation, drop by with your little artists (suggested for ages 4 & up) and create a mixed media masterpiece.
