Space One Eleven is a nonprofit community arts organization founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 1986. SOE'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. Key to the philosophic foundation of Space One Eleven is the belief that art is where you find it, whether from a nationally-recognized artist or a creative youth in a Birmingham inner city neighborhood. Art is informed by place, time, and experience. Run by artists, formed by place, and celebrating cutting-edge art that stretches the imagination, SOE incorporates these principles into all of its programs as they deal with art, economics, and community.

A hidden gem! A human-scaled museum with some of the most important collections in the US. The highly important Wedgewood collection in the Birmingham Museum of Art is the second-most important collection in the world, second only to the one in London's Victoria & Albert Museum. The Birmingham Museum also has one of the most impressive collections of the world in cast iron objects, from everyday objects to furniture and jewelery – absolutely stunning. The Asian Collection is also quite mindblowing and the Decorative Art section has been enriched by the recently re-opened 19th-century gallery. The Birmingham Museum of Art is a must see! And yes, admission is free.
