Magic City Mural Fest
While you’re hanging out in our neck of the woods, be sure to check out “The Way”. Blank Space Bham, with the support of Jason Avery and incredible sponsors like The Woodlawn Foundation, transformed one of the underutilized alleyways in our historic business district. With the skilled hands & vision of several female artists it received an enormous amount of love last week during the Magic City Mural Fest. It is a must see.
Commonplace Woodlawn
Speaking of art, our neighbors at Commonplace Woodlawn (@commonplacewoodlawn) are hosting an Open House featuring 10+ exceptional artists. Both Saturday & Sunday (Oct. 16-17) from 12-5pm you can pop in to view their work and explore the space!
