Mission
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.
History
In 1986, a studio space was quickly renovated into a gallery to house a show entitled, Found Around the South, featuring artists from Georgia, New York, Mississippi, and Alabama. With widespread response to the show, Anne Arrasmith and Peter Prinz realized that they had tapped into a real need in the community for a contemporary, artist-run organization, and Space One Eleven was born. The name was chosen based on the address of the studio space used for the exhibit, and although the organization has since moved, the name, along with the founding principles, remains.
