Hangin' In the Back-Forty

OK, that title is not really fair. The Coleman Center in York Alabama DOES seem kinda out of pocket for a contemporary arts center. But Shana Berger, Executive Director and Nathan Purath, Artistic Director, seem to make it work in a town of a little over 2000 souls. They were in town recently, and I took the opportunity to talk to them after they looked over the current eyedrum shows.

Sweet Home Alabama. . .

. . .where artists are treated fine, especially if they are hanging out around Space One Eleven. Y'know, it's rough trying to keep a creative space open ANYwhere, but maybe more so in Birmingham. Join the Edge City road crew as we trek to Birmingham and talk to the great folks of Space One Eleven, Anne Arrasmith and Peter Prince. Then things pick up again as artist David Sandlin, by way of Ireland and New York and now teaching in Athens Ga., takes a break from taking down his show and joins the conversation in the latter half of the show.
