SUMMARY:The March Quilts
DESCRIPTION:The March Quilts originated in workshops at schools\, hospitals\, community centers and churches as a way to promote dialogue about civil rights and gather personal textile blocks to form storytelling quilts. Children and adults in sewing sessions in Selma\, Montgomery and Birmingham hand-stitched 461 fabric blocks that divided perfectly into the first three quilts. Participants in the civil rights marches were among those creating blocks\, adding an especially powerful element of personal experience and memory. The project added quilts each year under different themes\, and currently has 16 quilts in residence at The Altamont School. Don’t miss this rare gathering of The March Quilts!

SUMMARY:DOR: A Romanian Festival
DESCRIPTION:DOR: A Romanian Festival \n3rd Edition — “Rooted in Song: The Village Remembers” \nMusic4Romania (www.music4romania.org) warmly invites the Birmingham community and friends near and far to gather for the third edition of DOR: A Romanian Festival\, held at The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi (www.saintfrancisindiansprings.org)\, 3545 Cahaba Valley Road\, Indian Springs\, AL 35124\, on Sunday\, September 27\, 2026\, from 3:30 to 8:30 PM. Come spend an afternoon and evening steeped in Romanian music\, story\, craft\, and cuisine — everyone is welcome\, and all activities are free (except the seated dinner). \nThis year’s festival\, “Rooted in Song: The Village Remembers\,” turns to the oral and musical traditions that have carried Romanian village life forward across generations — and across the ocean\, including into diaspora communities like our own here in Alabama. Stories\, songs\, and ballads are the mortar of that village life\, passed hand to hand\, voice to voice\, heart to heart\, holding together everything that might otherwise be lost to time. From a solo violin opening to a candlelit closing\, from festive folk dance to quiet poetry\, the program traces how song has always been the village’s way of remembering itself. \nThrough an afternoon and evening of live performance\, hands-on workshops\, exhibits\, a seated Romanian dinner\, and a short award-winning film\, DOR hopes not only to celebrate Romania’s living heritage but to actively build cross-cultural understanding and connection. \nTo RSVP for the seated dinner ($25/adult\, children under 12 free)\, please click on this link https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/dor-3rd-annual-romanian-festival OR email Dr. Alina Voicu at avoicu1970@gmail.com and pay by check made payable to Music4Romania\, mailed to The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi\, 3545 Cahaba Valley Road\, Indian Springs\, AL 35124.

Poet Alina Ștefănescu closes the session with an original meditation on village memory. \n4:30 – 5:15 PM – Featured Performance: Bucovina Folk Ensemble \nThe Atlanta-based Bucovina Folk Ensemble performs traditional Romanian dances and folk songs in full costume\, with audience participation including a Hora — everyone on their feet. \n5:15 – 6:30 PM – Workshops & Exhibits \nAll activities running simultaneously: \n#1.

Sacred Traditions Exhibit \nA close\, contemplative look at Romanian Orthodox heritage — hand-painted icons in the traditional Byzantine style\, eggs decorated with centuries-old symbolic motifs\, and other sacred objects — carrying forward the thread of faith that runs through the whole program. \n#3. Mihaela Laslo Art Exhibit \nA beautiful display of angel art by Mihaela Laslo\, including her “Guardian Angel” collection\, featuring Romanian dress and motifs. \n#4. Folk Craft Table \nTry your hand at traditional Romanian folk crafts — string a mărţișor charm as a token of spring and renewal\, paint a wooden spoon or coaster with folk motifs\, or make a bookmark to take home a small piece of the day. \n#5. Children’s Corner \nA cozy stop for young ones and the young at heart\, featuring a reading of the beloved Romanian folktale Tinereţe fără bătrâneţe (Youth Without Age\, and Life Without Death)\, face painting\, and various arts and crafts activities. \n#6.

Wild Forever Screening \nSettle in for “Wild Forever\,” Episode 3 of Charlie Ottley’s Wild Carpathia documentary series\, looping throughout the workshop hour for anyone who’d like a quieter seat — a journey through the painted monasteries\, wooden churches\, and living traditions of Maramureș and Bucovina. \n6:30 PM – Poftă Bună (Bon Appétit): A Seated Romanian Dinner \nJoin us for a seated dinner of traditional Romanian dishes\, shared around the table.

All proceeds go towards continued funding for the Summer Youth Apprenticeship program.  \nThis reception is free and open to the public! \nRSVP’s are not required to attend\, but help us in planning and preparations!  \n \nThe 8-week Summer Youth Apprenticeship employs high school students\, ages 16-19\, to study under professional artists for 30hrs/week.

SUMMARY:WATERMARK
DESCRIPTION:Watermark follows a curious girl whose daydreams lead her beyond the shoreline and into a mesmerizing underwater realm. As she explores this luminous world alongside fellow divers\, she encounters the Spirit of the Sea itself. What begins as an adventure transforms into a deeper awakening\, revealing both the magic and vulnerability hidden beneath the waves. Through movement and imagery\, Watermark asks what it means to witness\, to harm\, and to ultimately protect our oceans.

SUMMARY:Erin Jane Nelson: Living and Working Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:AEIVA presents Living and Working\, a survey exhibition of work by Erin Jane Nelson made between 2015 and 2025\, while she was based in a suburb of Atlanta. Inspired by the ecologies and shifting landscapes of the southeastern US\, Nelson’s work draws from regional craft traditions and science fiction alike to consider how sentimentality and personal narrative are entangled with ongoing environmental change. With a formally inventive approach to photography\, textiles\, and ceramics\, her work finds quiet persistence in the intimate labor of living and working on a changing planet. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public. Join us for an opening celebration on Thursday\, May 21 from 5 to 7pm. \nAEIVA will be offering drop-in tours on Saturdays all summer long\, starting on May 23. Tours are led by AEIVA’s student guides and typically last between 20-30 minutes. No registration required.

SUMMARY:Space One Eleven presents art exhibitions by El Paso artist José Villalobos and local artist Jason Tanner Young
DESCRIPTION:Space One Eleven\npresents \n“Navegando la Masculinidad de la Frontera / Navigating the Border’s Masculinity“ by José Villalobos \nand \n“see saw sawn” by Jason Tanner Young \nOpening reception with the artists\nThursday\, February 19\, 2026\n5:30 to 7:00 pm \nSpace One Eleven Art Center\n2407 Second Avenue North\nDowntown Birmingham \nJosé Villalobos is a multidisciplinary artist exploring identity\, queerness\, and cultural heritage through sculpture\, performance\, and installation. Growing up between El Paso\, Texas\, and Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, he confronts the conflicts between tradition\, faith\, and sexuality within Mexican and American cultures. Rooted in personal experience\, his practice challenges machismo and the violence of assimilation\, transforming materials and symbols to reclaim queer visibility. Villalobos has exhibited nationally and internationally and is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant. Recently he became a Trellis Art Fund Stepping Stone Fellow. His work affirms resilience\, tenderness\, and the power of self-expression within queer and borderland communities. \nFor the exhibition “Navegando la Masculinidad de la Frontera / Navigating the Border’s Masculinity\,” Villalobos presents a collection of new and past works that create a dialogue about masculinities within Norteño culture\, its subcultural predecessors\, and related historical movements. Villalobos’ aesthetic often combines the rugged iconography of the West (boots\, cowboy hats\, leather\, ropes) with the flamboyance\, glitter\, and vulnerability of queer expression. The result is a powerful tension: the imagery of strength\, control\, even violence (e.g.\, rodeo\, bull-taming) juxtaposed with fragility\, costume play\, and critique of the structures that define “manhood.” \nJason Tanner Young received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas at Tyler in 2008. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art and director of the Sculpture concentration at the University of Montevallo. Young previously worked at Ohio University\, where he taught courses in Sculpture + Expanded Practice as well as the Foundations Department. \nYoung was awarded the Pentaculum Scholarship in Woodworking to participate in the week-long residency\, Spring Pentaculum\, at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (2022). At the University of Montevallo he received a Summer Stipend for Pre-Tenured Faculty (2020)\, and he has also received a Teaching and Scholarly Projects Grant (2022). \nYoung shows his work extensively\, and has been included in exhibitions at the Alabama Contemporary Art Center (Mobile\, AL)\, Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment (Huntsville\, AL)\, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Gatlinburg\, TN)\, The Sculpture Center (Cleveland\, OH)\, Axis Gallery (Sacramento\, CA)\, Weston Art Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH)\, Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH) the Young Sculptors Competition at Miami University (Miami\, OH)\, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts (Montgomery\, AL)\, Visual Art Exchange (Raleigh\, NC)\, Evansville Museum (Evansville\, IN)\, and Rosalux Gallery (Minneapolis\, MN) among many others. \nThe exhibition will continue\nFebruary 20 through April 17\, 2026. \nGallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm\, and by appointment. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.
