Birmingham, AL
Birmingham's mural scene is rooted in civil rights history and an Avondale-led arts renaissance that has made the city one of the South's most compelling destinations for public art. From Railroad Park's sweeping commemorative walls to Five Points South's bohemian gallery district, the murals here weave together Black history, labor heritage, and a defiant creative spirit that defines modern Birmingham.
