Space Rental

The historic East Village Arts building—an 8,000-square-foot creative hub in Birmingham’s East Lake neighborhood—is being renewed as a beacon for art, collaboration, and community life. Supported through local and state arts grants and the generosity of our donors, the renovation of this landmark space ensures that creativity will continue to anchor East Lake for generations to come.

EVA offers two primary ways for artists and community members to connect with and use the space: Artist Studios and Venue Space.

Studios

Our artist studios are the heart of EVA where painters, sculptors, photographers, writers, and makers of all kinds create and collaborate. Each studio is unique in size and layout, reflecting the building’s historic architecture and the diversity of the artists who work here.

Resident artists enjoy affordable studio rates, access to shared work areas and equipment, and a creative environment grounded in support, exchange, and visibility. The studios are more than workspaces—they are sanctuaries of imagination and anchors of community life, open during EVA’s events and Open Studio days for the public to engage with Birmingham’s vibrant creative scene.
