In the first joint project for UAB’s Cultural Corridor, the Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center, theDepartment of Art and Art History, and the newAbroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Artstogether have commissioned Brooklyn-based artistAmanda Browder to create “Magic Chromacity.” The vast works Browder is creating with community members will use recycled and donated materials to create large-scale art pieces adorning both the AEIVA and ASC buildings, which face each other on 10th Avenue South on the UAB campus. The large-scale art pieces will allow the buildings to “speak” to each other while also serving as individual works.
