Join us at Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark as we celebrate MCAC’s 43rd year April 24-26. Take in the Festival’s annual spring infusion of sights, sounds, tastes, and aromas at this iconic Birmingham attraction. We look forward with much anticipation to fusing the show’s vibrant contemporary arts with this former master of industry.

2026 will spotlight 150 juried, fine artists from the state, region, and around the country alongside Corks & Chefs: A Taste of Birmingham (29th year!), Imagination Festival art workshops for kids, Collectors Classroom demos, live music and dance performances, special exhibitions, art/sculpture installations, cultural partners, Festival Café with food trucks and other favorites, and relaxing in the open air amongst thousands of works of art and neighbors at MCAC’s Umbrella Lounges dotting the site.

Find art, support local arts & culture, and connect with community the last full weekend in April at this annual spring arts tradition in Birmingham.

Create. Inspire. Educate. Collect.
