Biography

Councilor Woods passionately believes that there are creative opportunities to attract and sustain businesses in District 1. He is a strong advocate for rebuilding communities by implementing effective and sustainable economic and educational opportunities. He believes that strengthening the schools will play a significant role in reversing the negative trend of residents leaving the city. “We must fight to create safe communities, where our children can get a quality education, and our families have access to quality businesses.” Woods possesses a unique skill set and believes he can play an integral role in achieving this vision.

Woods serves on the advisory board for Mission Increase Central AL, which is a non-profit organization that provides free fundraising and organizational training to non-profit organizations throughout central Alabama. Mission Increase has been impactful in building the non-profit community throughout the country and Councilor Woods is excited about what Mission Increase can accomplish in Birmingham.

Councilor Woods graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, before earning a Masters of Engineering Construction Management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.  He is also a State Licensed Commercial General Contractor, Project Management Professional (PMP), and owner of Prescott Contracting. He has been married to his wife, Dawn for 8 years, and they have a baby girl named Chloe and baby boy named Clinton Jr.

Featuring work by 19 artists from across the state, the Alabama Triennial 2025: Currents explores questions of place and identity. Through work that emphasizes movement, journey, mapping, exchange and transference, the exhibition complicates notions of Southern identity as something static or unitary, instead viewing it as a confluence of various currents, constantly in motion, made and remade in relation to what came before.

Currents are directional movement and energy. As natural phenomena in our oceans and atmosphere that gave rise to trade routes and transit corridors, they are reminders of the inextricability of history and culture from the material conditions of place. Yet they are also immaterial, invoking spiritual practices such as channeling, as well as the amalgamation of religious influences common in this region. As directional movement, currents call to mind lineages – of ancestry or heritage – as well as the belief systems that have shaped our environment and material existence. One question guiding this exhibition is: How do we position ourselves in relation to what we inherit?

Finally, although far from comprehensive, the Triennial is intended as a survey of current artistic practices in Alabama. It's of a time and place washed ashore by the past, with one eye fixed on the horizon.

Participating artists are Douglas Pierre Baulos, Daphne Burgess, Merrilee Challiss, E L Chisolm, Soynika Edwards-Bush, Valerie George, Allison Grant, Arielle Gray, Darius Hill, Helga Mendoza, Micah Mermilliod, Joe Minter, Bethany Moody, Celestia Morgan, Miriam Omura, Celeste Amparo Pfau, Millian Giang Pham, Rial Rye and Jennifer Wallace Fields

The Alabama Triennial 2025 was curated by elizabet elliott, Executive Director of Alabama Contemporary Art Center in Mobile; Sydney A. Foster, Montgomery-based creative director and community architect; and AEIVA Curator Hannah Spears.

Join us for Ann Patchett’s latest, Tom Lake, is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew. Both hopeful and haunting, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. Place the book on hold at hpl.pub/catalog.
