Arts After Hours: Arts Member-Exclusive Events AEIVA After Hours: Gallery Hop

Join us for the latest AEIVA After Hours: Gallery Hop Edition, an ongoing member-exclusive series that takes you beyond the gallery walls. For this edition, we will kick things off at AEIVA with cocktails, snacks, and a private viewing of AEIVA’s 2026 exhibition Blue Moon Cocoon by artist Virginia Lee Montgomery. Then we’ll hop aboard a private bus for a “one-stop-hop” to the AARDT Foundation for a private viewing of their art collection and learn more about their mission from Birmingham art collector Michael Straus.

Capacity is limited, so secure your spot early. Registration is first-come, first-served.

The AARDT Foundation is a nonprofit foundation operating out of a former industrial warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama, which now houses its art collection. The Foundation’s mission is to foster a vibrant cultural life, including through the use of its collection and resources for educational and research purposes.
