Spiel: The Birmingham Art Alliance is a new organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting the vibrant and diverse artistic landscape of Birmingham, Alabama. We welcome artists and makers of all mediums to connect, collaborate, and share their creative voices with the community. We are excited to host a pop-up shared gallery, located next to Forstall Art Center at 219 20th Street North.
Heads Up! There is a bathroom for volunteers, but it is NOT a public bathroom. The Pizitz food court has public bathrooms.
When a customer buys a piece, please do three things:
- In the customer’s Venmo transaction, have them note the artist’s name and the piece name.
- In the sales notebook, write down: Date, Artist name, the Piece that sold, Price.

Also, you’re encouraged to bring a project and work while you gallery-sit.
