Keep the Arts Shining
The good: Birmingham has many amazing art organizations. The not-so-good: they are hurting right now due to COVID. Of course donations are a wonderful way to help them overcome the current hurtles, but there are more ways to get involved. From attending events to taking classes, here’s how you can support 5 of Birmingham art organizations right now.
Ain’t No Thang Like Chicken Wangs
A new chicken joint is headed to The Pizitz Food Hall. Get pumped for J Wings. Home to dozens of tasty flavorings like sweet and sour, Cajun ranch or mild, hot + fiery, you’re sure to find your perfect plate of wings. Learn more.
Rounding the Bases
