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.

Pardon their progress: they’re installing a new TV soon, plus a shade to protect it from the punishing afternoon sun.

FUTURE PROJECTS

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.
