Located on Cathedral Square in the heart of Mobile’s historic downtown district, Alabama Contemporary Art Center is a critically important site for the production and discussion of experimental contemporary art in the Gulf Coast region. The only institution of its kind within 150 miles, it encourages artists to cultivate radical thought and disruptive approaches to art making. It serves its community by originating ten to twelve exhibitions a year, offering public programming, adult and children’s education, and outreach programming.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
