[more+]Portraits of Ghosts features new works by artist Thomas Rooney, who works in the languages of overpainting, printmaking, and painting in order to explore the many facets of the human experience. According to Rooney, Portraits of Ghosts “is an exploration of interconnectedness and interdependence. I am interested in how the majority of oneself and one’s personality, their history and the consequences of their decisions and actions, is unobservable. Representing these invisible qualities, my work is an illustration of and metaphor for people’s interior worlds and intangible past actions, history, and relationships. Being an impression of an individual’s consciousness imprinted on a time and place, the word ghost serves as a descriptor for the unseen effects we cause and connections we develop and maintain.”
Thomas Rooney was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, where he currently resides. He received a BFA in printmaking from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. In 2023 Rooney was the recipient of the John Dillon Scholarship in Printmaking and the Virgina Rembert Liles Scholarship at UAB. Portraits of Ghosts is Rooney’s first solo show. Learn more about Thomas Rooney at tprooneyart.com and @tomporoonopolis.
Portraits of Ghosts is latest show in BPL’s Art for Everyone series. The exhibition is made possible by a grant awarded to the Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

[more+]Electromagnetic Field Gothic is a conceptual typeface project by artist and designer Ryan Meyer. What started as a mark-making style that visualizes the pervasive electromagnetic field, became a system of letterforms and symbols displayed as type specimens on wall objects. The drawings are made with bleach, staples, and graphite on black paper or fabric. As the bleach oxidizes the black dyes, it creates a chemical burn aesthetic that references a symbolic “burning sensation” from EMF exposure. For several years Meyer has been building a visual vocabulary around the themes of EMFs and artificial light. He is interested in the way they are thoroughly woven into both technological progress and the degradation of human and environmental health.
Meyer was raised between the suburban Deep South and the road. He received his MFA from the University of California at Davis and has shown work nationally and internationally. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Digital Media & Graphic Design at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His art practice is research-based and is constructed from diverse topics and experiences. He often uses various forms of storytelling, data visualization, and graphic design to examine themes of technology, ecology, health, decay, ruderality, and the Anthropocene. Learn more about Ryan Meyer at ryanmeyerart.com or on his Instagram page @ryanmeyerart.
Electromagnetic Field Gothic is latest show in BPL’s Art for Everyone series. The exhibition is made possible by a grant awarded to the Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library by the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

Congress is moving forward with a bill that could drastically cut Medicaid and SNAP, end extra financial help for HealthCare.gov coverage, and block Alabama from receiving $619 million in federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage.
Join us for a town hall to learn what’s at stake for Alabama families, rural hospitals and grocery stores, and working people — and what you can do to take action.
We’ll break down:
What this means for the 1 in 5 Alabamians who depend on SNAP for food security, many of whom are families with children, older adults, or people with disabilities
How the proposed cuts would impact Medicaid, ALL Kids, and HealthCare.gov coverage
How this affects pregnant women, seniors, and low-income adults
Ways to get involved and raise your voice
This event is free and open to the public. Whether you're enrolled in Medicaid or SNAP, use HealthCare.gov, or care about access to health care and food security in Alabama, your voice matters.
Location: East Lake United Methodist Church

You will experience multiple works in progress from our competing choreographers that are followed by a guided feedback session where you will get to share what you saw, and get to hear more about what the pieces are about.

Congress is moving forward with a bill that could drastically cut Medicaid and SNAP, end extra financial help for HealthCare.gov coverage, and block Alabama from receiving $619 million in federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage.
Join us for a town hall to learn what’s at stake for Alabama families, rural hospitals and grocery stores, and working people — and what you can do to take action.
We’ll break down:
What this means for the 1 in 5 Alabamians who depend on SNAP for food security, many of whom are families with children, older adults, or people with disabilities
How the proposed cuts would impact Medicaid, ALL Kids, and HealthCare.gov coverage
How this affects pregnant women, seniors, and low-income adults
Ways to get involved and raise your voice
This event is free and open to the public. Whether you're enrolled in Medicaid or SNAP, use HealthCare.gov, or care about access to health care and food security in Alabama, your voice matters.

[more+]Happy Hour Happening is part one of our Spectra Choreographer's Series : Sloss Furnace. You will experience multiple works in progress from our competing choreographers that are followed by a guided feedback session where you will get to share what you saw, and get to hear more about what the pieces are about. Each choreographer will come with one or two questions to ask the audience where you will get to provide valuable feedback. At the end of the show you get to cast your vote for your favorite creation. The top four choreographers will win the chance to expand their work and have it performed at Sloss Historic Landmark on September 13, 2025. This final show you'll be able to see how your feedback enhanced the choreography! How cool is that?!
