Vinegar curates expanded art projects in Birmingham, Alabama.
We believe that experimental and noncommercial art practices have heightened capacities to challenge and uplift our community. Our exhibitions emphasize unconventional formats: installation, video, new media, performance art, and social practice. We pay every artist a fair wage for their creative labor.
WHERE TO FIND US
In 2024, Vinegar stepped out of the white cube and into the public sphere.
We now curate site-responsive and publicly accessible exhibitions, considering the City of Birmingham as an art gallery framed by social architecture.
For now, many Vinegar exhibitions will take place at new collaborative venue, the Media Window.
