Hello! I am an artist in Huntsville, Alabama at Lowe Mill studios! I totally support what you are doing!
I am looking forward to stopping in (didn’t know about the opening) but football hoo-ha on University Ave is in the way this weekend and next, it seems. Rats! Having been involved in two grass-roots art co-op start-ups, and one existing one in Calif & NY, I say hooray. We need more activity and energy around contemporary art here!
I wish you guys the best of luck with this project!
So excited that something like this is going on in Tuscaloosa! I’m one of the co-founders of The Art Hive in Florence…we’re a non-profit artist co-op that’s fundraising to renovate a building in downtown Florence. We would love to be able to partner with you on things at some point! Maybe we can come visit sometime soon.
Good luck with everything!!
This is awesome. Being from Tuscaloosa, I have waited a long time for something like this. I can’t wait to be a part of it! Great Job!
Hey, I love what you are doing and I want to know how to get involved!

Congratulations on making this happen! Best of luck.
Congrats!!!!!!!
yay! thanks keegan:)
Can’t wait to see what you guys are cooking up!
I would like to be on your list of upcoming events. I am also an artist with a large production kiln looking for a place to call home… I would like more information on your group. Do you have extra space available for other artists?
Thanks!

Hi Hok,
We’re actually expanding and will have more studio space starting this summer and the more people we have interested the more we can expand! I’ll absolutely put you on the mailing list right now. I’m not very good at approving the website comments in a timely manner but emailing us at alabamaartkitchen (at) gmail is a great way to get in touch. Have a lovely day!
phone? email? anything?
Sounds like you have a winner! We’ve been wondering whether (or how) you were affected by the tornadoes — please let us know. Love from the Barn folks
We’re on the other side of town so doing fine. Been helping a lot to clean things up and hope to make some art to help out soon. Thanks for the concern!
Hi, I was wondering if ya’ll have any creative uses for old/discontinued wallpaper and fabric. I have books and loose samples that need a new life. Thanks!

Hello Art Kitchen! I was wondering what silkscreening supplies/facilities you have, if any? I have an upcoming project that is brewing!
We’ve got what you need! We’ve got tons of screens and an exposure unit (nothing too fancy but it works great).
We’ve got a silk-screening class this weekend!
