Alabama Theatre | The Showplace of the South

Standing proudly in the heart of downtown Birmingham, the Alabama Theatre has been a beloved landmark since 1927. With its unmistakable marquee, ornate architecture, and nearly a century of history, it's a place that continues to bring people together and holds a special place in the hearts of Alabamians. Created in the artist's signature watercolor style, this piece is a heartfelt tribute to the memories, history, and enduring beauty of The Showplace of the South.

"It wasn't uncommon for my mother to take the family strolling down Third Avenue North just to admire the iconic sign and glowing marquee. Countless summer afternoons and winter evenings spent in those iconic marble hallways fostered a personal lifelong admiration for one of Birmingham's most treasured landmarks."
