Alabama Contemporary Art Center

Founded in 1999, Alabama Contemporary Art Center is a non-profit contemporary arts center located on Cathedral Square in the heart of Mobile’s historic downtown. We are a non-collecting organization that is committed to the work of living artists. We serve our community by originating ten to twelve exhibitions a year, offering public programming, adult and children’s education, and outreach programming. Through guest curatorship, artist residencies, and our Independent Projects program, we create sustainable opportunities for curators and artists worldwide to make work, take risks, and explore divergent paths.

The mission of Alabama Contemporary is to support cultural production, provide space for courageous conversations that shape identity, and seed growth in the greater creative economy. We support living artists, and through our educational, public and curatorial programs advocate for human dignity and a diversity of perspectives. We strive to be a partner, resource and light in the Deep South.
