Students and faculty in the University of Alabama at Birmingham College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Art and Art History have a new place to showcase art and support creative investigation, interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Project Space is an adaptive space that will provide an alternative platform for students, faculty and community to engage teaching, research, public service and visual art practices. New events have been planned there for fall 2015.
Project Space is in the UAB Humanities Building, 900 13th St. South, on the first floor. It is open during project-specific dates and hours or by appointment. For questions, to schedule use of Project Space or to arrange a visit, contact Project Space director Jared Ragland at Raglandj@uab.edu.
