Established in 1998, Naked Art has never been your typical gallery. Its colorful walls and its fun and unique approach to art has caught the attention of the media, including Turner South, the national travel guide, "Eccentric America", The New York Times, Time Out NY and Delta Sky magazine. In 2006, Naked Art was awarded "Best of The Road" by the Rand McNally Atlas.
Naked Art is a gallery accessible to everybody, it focuses on functional art - i.e. art that serves more than an aesthetic purpose - handmade wonders, mostly with recycled materials. It also shows wall pieces by untraditional artists, with a total of 60 artists, mostly from Alabama and the South. The name "Naked Art" was chosen because we want you to understand and appreciate all of the artists' work with the "naked eye", without intimidating, "hi-brow" hidden meanings. We simply want everyone to feel good about being here and to enjoy the gallery's vibrancy. We also make a real effort to keep the prices reasonable because we strongly feel that art should be within everyone's reach. It's such a wonderful feeling to take a piece home knowing that it's one of a kind.
