The Alabama Contemporary Art Center in Mobile has announced plans to radically transform how it presents art by conducting exhibitions and programs across the state as it renovates its facilities, including development of the long-vacant Press-Register building at 304 Government Street in Mobile, AL.com reports. The museum’s 2025 schedule will include exhibitions in York, Tuscaloosa and Troy, as well as a “vacant site” in Mobile.

Partner organizations taking part in the center’s “transient model” include the Wiregrass Museum of Art in Dothan, The International Art Center’s Huo Bao Zhu Gallery at Troy University, The Wallace Center for Art and Reconciliation in Harpersville, The Paul R. Jones Museum at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa and Coleman Center for the Arts in York.
