Founded in 1986, Space One Eleven’s mission is to provide paid opportunities for visual artists, to create a forum for public understanding of contemporary art, and to offer art education to area youth.

Our exhibitions explore issues of human rights and social justice, paired with public programs to encourage dialogue and advocacy. Space One Eleven is dedicated to creating an environment where artists can push boundaries, take creative risks, and contribute meaningfully to the cultural landscape. Located in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, Space One Eleven has been a champion for social justice through the visual arts since its inception.
