Between a Love and a Hard Place is Vinegar’s first exhibition in a new collaborative venue, the Media Window , which is both an art gallery and a work of art.
In February 2024, Vinegar stepped away from its indoor gallery space and transitioned to a new phase of site-responsive and publicly accessible exhibitions.
In response to this circumstance, artist and Vinegar curator Melissa Yes created the Media Window (read more here). Between a Love and a Hard Place is the inaugural exhibition at this site.

This new body of work explores the mystery, magic, and mythology of cicadas, intertwined with her own experiences and themes of transformation, reincarnation, and the divine feminine. Special integrated sound design by Earthen Herman and video visuals by Ben Blackburn.
Claire Godbee is an artist living and working in Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Her work, rooted in psychology, mythology, astrology, yoga, and poetic traditions, explores and celebrates the depths of womanhood, our connection to nature, and the magic that exists within us and throughout everyday life. Interwoven with her own mythology, rituals, and experiences, her work embodies narratives about interconnection, soul activism, inner liberation, and the clarity received from nature and universal elements.
Her work will be on display until October 3, 2024. We hope you can make it by!

[more+]In October, Create Birmingham, in partnership with narrative studio 1504, Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, and sculptor Joe Minter, will produce Joe Minter is Here, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring 20-30 of Mr. Minter’s pieces inside of Titusville’s historic, Marc Steel Building.
This site is significant to Joe Minter’s family history and Birmingham’s industrial history, as well as the lives of other prominent artists in Mr. Minter’s peer group, including artist and musician Lonnie Holley and artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit will be developed collaboratively by 1504 and Mr. Minter, with creative support from curator Matt Arnett and Mr. Holley.
Mr. Minter has lived in the Titusville community for more than fifty years where he has created the sprawling African Village in America on the half-acre property around his home. Part sculpture garden and part memorial, this art environment is filled with sculptures made from scrap metal and found materials. Its theme is recognition of African American history from the first arrivals of captured Africans through slavery to the convict labor system and the Civil Rights Movement to the systemic racism and violence that persists today.
Mr. Minter’s pieces have been in major US exhibitions and are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Birmingham Museum of Art. While he has been the subject of solo shows elsewhere, Joe Minter is Here will be the first exhibit in Birmingham that focuses solely on his work.
The sculptures will be shown alongside new audio and film components created by 1504 that will contextualize the importance of Mr. Minter’s work. Free public programs will take place throughout the October exhibit.

[more+]Manjari Sharma is a Mumbai-born, LA-based artist exploring ritual, identity, memory, and mythology. Sharma’s 2023 exhibition Expanding Darshan, which combined the diverse historic collections of the Birmingham Museum of Art and the artist’s ongoing Darshan series, a photographic re-imagining of Hindu deities, received wide critical acclaim. In 2024, Sharma will create a two-part collaborative exhibition between AEIVA and UAB’s Arts in Medicine. While one exhibit follows her family’s decade-long battle with Frontotemporal Dementia, the other is a speculative fiction-based project that collages spiritual concepts of the Hindu rituals of death and the afterlife with mankind’s scientific curiosity and exploration of the Universe. These two exhibitions will open at AEIVA and UAB’s Brain Aging and Memory Clinic in 2024.
Sharma’s work can be found in the New York Times, Vice Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, HuffPost, and NPR, to name a few, and projects have been published and exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals worldwide. Sharma is a proud recipient of the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2024), and her works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Carlos Museum, and the Birmingham Museum of Art.

Bringing together works highlighting the visual and optical effects of color, as well as color’s ability to convey meaning, the exhibition challenges the supremacy of line and likeness, and celebrates color’s associations with the everyday, from popular culture and mass media to femininity and kitsch.
Artists included are Joseph Albers, Willie Cole, William Cushner, Tomory Dodge, Howard Finster, Sam Gilliam, Peter Halley, Pamela Jorden, Sharon Louden, Sally Mann, Jiha Moon, Odili Donald Odita, Sheila Mae Pinkel, Letitia Quesenberry, Sonja Rieger, Bob Thompson, and Juan Uslé.

[more+]Join the Alabama Association of Nonprofits at their first-ever Nonprofit Film Festival where we will premiere ten short films from promising nonprofits across Alabama that tell the story of their missions in action. We hope these films will inspire you to join in their efforts, spread the word about their work, and financially support these amazing local organizations.
The film festival is open to community members, nonprofit leaders, foundation staff and trustees, potential donors, the media, elected officials, and AAN members. It will be a great networking opportunity for all.
Before premiering the films, participants will hear from Tony Bowen, Executive Director of Fidelity Charitable® Catalyst Fund, Elaine Martyn, Senior VP of the Private Donor Group at Fidelity Charitable, and Marsha Morgan with the Birmingham Change Fund. Stay tuned to learn about our evolving agenda.
This event is a celebration of Alabama's nonprofits with networking, good food, beer, and wine, and the ability to learn more about our “film stars” at informational booths before and after the event. You're welcome to come early and stay late! Our red carpet photo booth opens at 4:00.
The nonprofits featured were selected through a competitive grants process and include an array of nonprofits that represent the diversity of our communities and the causes so many of you care about. Many of the nonprofits are focused on serving communities of color, particularly given the under representation of Black leaders in our nonprofit sector. Did you know that only 10% of nonprofit executives in Alabama are Black compared to 27% of our state’s population (according to our State of the Sector report)?
Join he Alabama Association of Nonprofits as they celebrate Alabama's nonprofits in ten creative short films. The dress code is business attire.

[more+]Create Birmingham, in partnership with narrative studio 1504, Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, and sculptor Joe Minter, will produce In JOE MINTER IS HERE. In October, 20-30 of Minter’s pieces will be featured in a groundbreaking exhibition inside of The Marc Steel Building, a historic warehouse in Birmingham’s Titusville community.
This site is significant to Mr. Minter’s family history and Birmingham’s industrial history, as well as the lives of other prominent artists in Mr. Minter’s peer group, including artist and musician Lonnie Holley and artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit will be developed collaboratively by 1504 and Mr. Minter, with creative support from curator Matt Arnett and Mr. Holley.
Mr. Minter has lived in the Titusville community for more than fifty years where he has created the sprawling African Village in America on the half-acre property around his home. Part sculpture garden and part memorial, this art environment is filled with sculptures made from scrap metal and found materials. Its theme is recognition of African American history from the first arrivals of captured Africans through slavery to the convict labor system and the Civil Rights Movement to the systemic racism and violence that persists today.
Mr. Minter’s pieces have been in major US exhibitions and are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Birmingham Museum of Art. While he has been the subject of solo shows elsewhere, In Our Own Backyard will be the first exhibit in Birmingham and the state that focuses solely on his work.
The sculptures will be shown alongside new audio and film components created by 1504 that will contextualize the importance of Mr. Minter’s work. Free public programs will take place throughout the October exhibit.

[more+]A champion comic of screen and stage Whenever he has the chance, Ferguson likes to return to his stand-up roots. Let loose from the constraints of network television, Ferguson's random brain is allowed free reign over topics like his former drug addictions, sex and the stars who appear on his show. Ferguson performed his Hot and Grumpy Tour since 2013, which continued through 2014, before handing over the reigns to The Late, Late Show to fellow Brit James Corden in 2015. Don't miss this most excellent stand-up comic live on stage when he performs at near you soon! One of Scotland's best exports (after whisky) One of Scotland's most acclaimed comedians, Craig Ferguson first became known to American audiences as Nigel Wick, Drew Carey's evil boss on The Drew Carey Show. A fixture of the series from 1995, Ferguson won over film audiences four years later with his portrayal of indefatigable hair stylist Crawford Mackenzie in The Big Tease. He became a household name when he took over as host of CBS's Late Late Show in 2005, replacing Craig Kilborn. His show was a noticeably more anarchic and free form version of the standard late night talk show format. In addition he has lent his voice to several top animated movies including How to Train Your Dragon and HTDYD2 as the irrepressible Gobber and Disney Pixar's Brave as a fiesty Celtic clan leader.

Between a Love and a Hard Place is Vinegar’s first exhibition in a new collaborative venue, the Media Window , which is both an art gallery and a work of art.
In February 2024, Vinegar stepped away from its indoor gallery space and transitioned to a new phase of site-responsive and publicly accessible exhibitions.
In response to this circumstance, artist and Vinegar curator Melissa Yes created the Media Window (read more here). Between a Love and a Hard Place is the inaugural exhibition at this site.

This new body of work explores the mystery, magic, and mythology of cicadas, intertwined with her own experiences and themes of transformation, reincarnation, and the divine feminine. Special integrated sound design by Earthen Herman and video visuals by Ben Blackburn.
Claire Godbee is an artist living and working in Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Her work, rooted in psychology, mythology, astrology, yoga, and poetic traditions, explores and celebrates the depths of womanhood, our connection to nature, and the magic that exists within us and throughout everyday life. Interwoven with her own mythology, rituals, and experiences, her work embodies narratives about interconnection, soul activism, inner liberation, and the clarity received from nature and universal elements.
Her work will be on display until October 3, 2024. We hope you can make it by!

[more+]In October, Create Birmingham, in partnership with narrative studio 1504, Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, and sculptor Joe Minter, will produce Joe Minter is Here, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring 20-30 of Mr. Minter’s pieces inside of Titusville’s historic, Marc Steel Building.
This site is significant to Joe Minter’s family history and Birmingham’s industrial history, as well as the lives of other prominent artists in Mr. Minter’s peer group, including artist and musician Lonnie Holley and artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit will be developed collaboratively by 1504 and Mr. Minter, with creative support from curator Matt Arnett and Mr. Holley.
Mr. Minter has lived in the Titusville community for more than fifty years where he has created the sprawling African Village in America on the half-acre property around his home. Part sculpture garden and part memorial, this art environment is filled with sculptures made from scrap metal and found materials. Its theme is recognition of African American history from the first arrivals of captured Africans through slavery to the convict labor system and the Civil Rights Movement to the systemic racism and violence that persists today.
Mr. Minter’s pieces have been in major US exhibitions and are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Birmingham Museum of Art. While he has been the subject of solo shows elsewhere, Joe Minter is Here will be the first exhibit in Birmingham that focuses solely on his work.
The sculptures will be shown alongside new audio and film components created by 1504 that will contextualize the importance of Mr. Minter’s work. Free public programs will take place throughout the October exhibit.

[more+]Manjari Sharma is a Mumbai-born, LA-based artist exploring ritual, identity, memory, and mythology. Sharma’s 2023 exhibition Expanding Darshan, which combined the diverse historic collections of the Birmingham Museum of Art and the artist’s ongoing Darshan series, a photographic re-imagining of Hindu deities, received wide critical acclaim. In 2024, Sharma will create a two-part collaborative exhibition between AEIVA and UAB’s Arts in Medicine. While one exhibit follows her family’s decade-long battle with Frontotemporal Dementia, the other is a speculative fiction-based project that collages spiritual concepts of the Hindu rituals of death and the afterlife with mankind’s scientific curiosity and exploration of the Universe. These two exhibitions will open at AEIVA and UAB’s Brain Aging and Memory Clinic in 2024.
Sharma’s work can be found in the New York Times, Vice Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, HuffPost, and NPR, to name a few, and projects have been published and exhibited in galleries, museums, and festivals worldwide. Sharma is a proud recipient of the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2024), and her works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Carlos Museum, and the Birmingham Museum of Art.

Bringing together works highlighting the visual and optical effects of color, as well as color’s ability to convey meaning, the exhibition challenges the supremacy of line and likeness, and celebrates color’s associations with the everyday, from popular culture and mass media to femininity and kitsch.
Artists included are Joseph Albers, Willie Cole, William Cushner, Tomory Dodge, Howard Finster, Sam Gilliam, Peter Halley, Pamela Jorden, Sharon Louden, Sally Mann, Jiha Moon, Odili Donald Odita, Sheila Mae Pinkel, Letitia Quesenberry, Sonja Rieger, Bob Thompson, and Juan Uslé.

[more+]Join the Alabama Association of Nonprofits at their first-ever Nonprofit Film Festival where we will premiere ten short films from promising nonprofits across Alabama that tell the story of their missions in action. We hope these films will inspire you to join in their efforts, spread the word about their work, and financially support these amazing local organizations.
The film festival is open to community members, nonprofit leaders, foundation staff and trustees, potential donors, the media, elected officials, and AAN members. It will be a great networking opportunity for all.
Before premiering the films, participants will hear from Tony Bowen, Executive Director of Fidelity Charitable® Catalyst Fund, Elaine Martyn, Senior VP of the Private Donor Group at Fidelity Charitable, and Marsha Morgan with the Birmingham Change Fund. Stay tuned to learn about our evolving agenda.
This event is a celebration of Alabama's nonprofits with networking, good food, beer, and wine, and the ability to learn more about our “film stars” at informational booths before and after the event. You're welcome to come early and stay late! Our red carpet photo booth opens at 4:00.
The nonprofits featured were selected through a competitive grants process and include an array of nonprofits that represent the diversity of our communities and the causes so many of you care about. Many of the nonprofits are focused on serving communities of color, particularly given the under representation of Black leaders in our nonprofit sector. Did you know that only 10% of nonprofit executives in Alabama are Black compared to 27% of our state’s population (according to our State of the Sector report)?
Join he Alabama Association of Nonprofits as they celebrate Alabama's nonprofits in ten creative short films. The dress code is business attire.

[more+]Create Birmingham, in partnership with narrative studio 1504, Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, and sculptor Joe Minter, will produce In JOE MINTER IS HERE. In October, 20-30 of Minter’s pieces will be featured in a groundbreaking exhibition inside of The Marc Steel Building, a historic warehouse in Birmingham’s Titusville community.
This site is significant to Mr. Minter’s family history and Birmingham’s industrial history, as well as the lives of other prominent artists in Mr. Minter’s peer group, including artist and musician Lonnie Holley and artist Thornton Dial. The exhibit will be developed collaboratively by 1504 and Mr. Minter, with creative support from curator Matt Arnett and Mr. Holley.
Mr. Minter has lived in the Titusville community for more than fifty years where he has created the sprawling African Village in America on the half-acre property around his home. Part sculpture garden and part memorial, this art environment is filled with sculptures made from scrap metal and found materials. Its theme is recognition of African American history from the first arrivals of captured Africans through slavery to the convict labor system and the Civil Rights Movement to the systemic racism and violence that persists today.
Mr. Minter’s pieces have been in major US exhibitions and are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Birmingham Museum of Art. While he has been the subject of solo shows elsewhere, In Our Own Backyard will be the first exhibit in Birmingham and the state that focuses solely on his work.
The sculptures will be shown alongside new audio and film components created by 1504 that will contextualize the importance of Mr. Minter’s work. Free public programs will take place throughout the October exhibit.

[more+]A champion comic of screen and stage Whenever he has the chance, Ferguson likes to return to his stand-up roots. Let loose from the constraints of network television, Ferguson's random brain is allowed free reign over topics like his former drug addictions, sex and the stars who appear on his show. Ferguson performed his Hot and Grumpy Tour since 2013, which continued through 2014, before handing over the reigns to The Late, Late Show to fellow Brit James Corden in 2015. Don't miss this most excellent stand-up comic live on stage when he performs at near you soon! One of Scotland's best exports (after whisky) One of Scotland's most acclaimed comedians, Craig Ferguson first became known to American audiences as Nigel Wick, Drew Carey's evil boss on The Drew Carey Show. A fixture of the series from 1995, Ferguson won over film audiences four years later with his portrayal of indefatigable hair stylist Crawford Mackenzie in The Big Tease. He became a household name when he took over as host of CBS's Late Late Show in 2005, replacing Craig Kilborn. His show was a noticeably more anarchic and free form version of the standard late night talk show format. In addition he has lent his voice to several top animated movies including How to Train Your Dragon and HTDYD2 as the irrepressible Gobber and Disney Pixar's Brave as a fiesty Celtic clan leader.
