City Center Art (CCA),  Space One Eleven’s flagship  art education program is unique to the Birmingham community. This program, held up as an exemplar by then National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Bill Ivey in his testimony before Congress, consists of tuition assisted after-school classes and a summer art camp. 

Extensive activities in studio art—painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphics, and photography—taught by professional Birmingham artists as well as visiting artists from around the country shapes the program within a local cultural and historical context.

Uniting students from primarily low to moderate-income backgrounds with teaching artists within Space One Eleven’s studio, the CCA program encourages creativity, respectful collaboration, and commitment to community.

Today many former students make up the professional roster of teachers and artist assistants, furthering Space One Eleven’s   commitment to support visual arts and artists in Birmingham and producing long-term engagement and commitment by Birmingham citizens to its cultural fabric.

 City Center Art currently is looking for students for Alabama Charcoal drawing and portfolio development classes for high-school students.
