Using our exhibitions as a springboard, Alabama Contemporary hosts performances, activities, talks and public conversations throughout the year. Whether it’s a through a dance party or a panel discussion, we are interested in squeezing the most meaning in art (and life) as possible. Plus public programs are always free or discounted for members!
Alabama Contemporary is committed to collaborating with cultural, educational and civic partners as a means to promote community engagement, and encourages partner participation in public programs. If you or your organization have a program idea that is educational at heart and you believe ACAC would be a good fit to help make it happen, please review our Program Policy & Procedure then reach out to info@alabamacontemporary.org.
Upcoming Programs
A selection of animated short films from previous Mobile Animation Film Festival submissions curated by John Hill will be screening throughout the night. Pop in for a few animated shorts and check out a selection of works from artist Diana Dyer’s thesis exhibition that blends glass and woodworked sculpture with augmented reality, creating a hidden fantasy world behind a scannable code.
Join us for the Art Yard Party, Alabama Contemporary’s Spring lawn party and fundraiser featuring food, games and libations. We’ll have carnival games, art activities, whimsical creatures, music and absurdist entertainment. Do points matter? Not really, but there will be prizes. All ages are welcome!
