Wall to Wall
Wall to Wall is a new project presented by PNC that invites artists to activate the Museum’s lobby and cafe with artwork inspired by the city. Wallcoverings of artists’ work will stretch across the two largest spaces in the Museum to transform the visitor experience from the moment they enter the building. The inaugural iteration of Wall to Wall will feature works created by Alaska-based artist Merritt Johnson. In her work, Johnson considers the land and water of Birmingham while also exploring the ways humans have devalued these natural resources in search of profit. (Through Spring 2021)
