Who is Anne Arrasmith?

Anne Arrasmith is an American artist and curator who lives and works in Birmingham, Alabama. She co-founded and operates along with Peter Prinz the not-for-profit Space One Eleven. Arrasmith was a student of Edith Frohock while at University of Alabama at Birmingham. She and Peter Prinz founded Space One Eleven with a mission to present significant, provocative exhibitions that confront ideas in a southern context or framework. Arrasmith is the director for this facility. Arrasmith received support from the Birmingham Museum of Art before it began receiving grants from the Andy Warhol Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Under the leadership of Arrasmith and Peter Prinz, Space One Eleven has made it possible for the children who live in Metropolitan Gardens to participate in art.

Perhaps the most dramatic projects for Space One Eleven is the freestanding mosaic panels immediately east of the Birmingham Museum of Art made from thousands of clay tiles fired by the children.- Michael N. Calvert
