Space One Eleven is a visual arts organization founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 1986. Space One Eleven’s mission is to provide professional opportunities for artists, create a forum for public understanding of contemporary art, and offer arts education to area youth. Foregrounding the values of social justice and human rights, it supports artists to take creative risks and address current issues through projects executed in all media. As an artist-run alternative to commercial galleries and traditional museum settings, Space One Eleven encourages artists at all career levels to exercise their creative freedom and create work that takes risks.
Space One Eleven Arts Center
“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
