Art Galleries in Birmingham, AL

“I signed my husband and I up for beginner oil painting classes with Dori. She was friendly and informative over email. We had to get on a brief waitlist because her evening class was the only time we could attend. I was a little nervous walking in because I had never painted before in my life and there were other students in the room who were working on their own paintings that looked advanced. We watched a series of pre-recorded video tutorials Dori made on iPads and learned the basics first. As the weeks went by, I started noticing that if we just followed Dori’s instructions, we would get good results in our beginner painting. Dori is so encouraging and patient, as well! She has a gift for teaching and is always checking on each student to give tips and guidance. I’ve learned so much already in 8 weeks. We are now on our second painting (a landscape) and I can’t believe I’m actually painting something that I would be proud to show friends and family and this is thanks to Dori and her excellent teaching methods! I am so happy I have found this rewarding new hobby and something my husband and I can enjoy doing together. I highly recommend signing up with Dori if you’re interested in learning oil painting.”

“The nice lady that takes care of this gallery helped me out with getting pictures for my art project by using her own phone because mine had shut down and I didn't have a charger. That was very sweet and helpful of her. The art displayed here is also very nice, although I don't know if it's pricey or not because I don't know what they normally sell for. That was the first time that I went to an art gallery and it was a very nice experience to say the least. Do check them out if you're in the area.”

“Nice alternative gallery that is part of the UAB complex of arts. Modern and experimental exhibits of professionals and amateurs artists. And it is free to visit.”
