Maddie Wideman - And Therefore, I Have Hope.
2026-03-04 - 2026-05-30 | First Floor West Gallery
This exhibition round includes works provided by Maddie Wideman which will be on view in the First Floor West Gallery from March 4 – May 30, 2026. Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public. The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces. This series gives the public a chance to meet and interact with visiting artists and discuss their work as it is on display and available for purchase. Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you! The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, May 30 from 5-7 pm.

About the exhibit:
This collection of work explores the wrestling that comes with the journey of reconciliation of self. Guided by my love for Jesus, I created this work with the intent to reflect biblical compassion and empathy and to invite others into the same freedom and healing He has given me-with the hope it does the same for viewers. These pieces are inspired by songs that marked specific seasons of my life, functioning as anchors for memory, grief, and endurance. I used various iconography, texture, and movement of color to create tangible expressions of both deep lament over the past and gritty faith moving toward sanctification. Mixed media allows for accumulation, interruption, and revision, which mirrors the emotional landscape of the work. Each piece is also a reflection of my own journey-honest, sometimes messy, but always rooted in redemption from the Lord. My hope is that as you experience this space, you feel seen, known, and encouraged-no matter what you have walked through.

About the artist:
Maddie Wideman is a faith-based mixed media artist based in Atlanta, GA. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Samford University, where she discovered her love for mixed media and watercolor and developed a personal style that reflects both whimsy and depth.
She has won multiple juried art shows, has shown in local galleries, and has participated in exhibitions in both Georgia and Alabama. She has taught watercolor through Samford’s Academy of the Arts and Peachtree Art Center in Georgia and now creates watercolor guest portraits for wedding events. She is currently developing ideas for an upcoming solo exhibition at the Gallery at Johnson Ferry in 2027.

About the exhibit:
“ROADKILL CIRCUS” is a motley crew of characters and creatures. This series of paintings started in 2025. Inspired by everything from graffiti, Francis Bacon, heavy metal, Jean-Michel Basquiat, horror movies, cave drawings, cartoons, tribal art, comic books, album covers, etc. I try to use anything around me from southern culture to science fiction. I often work in a space that has been described as both scary and silly.

About the artist:
My name is Brad Posey. I was born in Huntsville, Alabama in 1972. I am not formally educated as an artist but have always been drawn to music, poetry and art. I host a local radio show called The Invisible City on 89.3 WLRH and I work at UAH in the Facilities and Maintenance Department. Art is a relaxing and soothing practice. It’s not about having a goal or achieving a certain outcome but more of a process and a way to lose yourself in the experience.

Cindy Miller - A Shared Journey
2026-03-04 - 2026-05-30 | Third Floor West Gallery
This exhibition round includes works provided by Cindy Miller which will be on view in the Third Floor West Gallery from March 4 – May 30, 2026. Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public. The evening also includes receptions for all seven of our gallery spaces.

Come out, enjoy a pleasant evening, and maybe you’ll find that special piece of art that speaks to you! The Open Studio Night reception is Saturday, May 30 from 5-7 pm.

About the exhibit:
This exhibition explores the enduring relationship between humans and animals as companions, spirit guides, and mythic symbols woven into our shared history. From the earliest cave paintings to contemporary cultural icons, animals have served as mirrors for human emotion, survival, and belief. They appear in our myths and spiritual practices as protectors, messengers, and teachers, and in our daily lives as beloved companions—bridging the sacred and the familiar.
Rooted in anthropology and symbolism, this body of work examines how humans have continually turned to animals to express identity and belonging. Animals become vessels for storytelling and meaning, carrying cultural memory across generations. Whether represented as mythological beings, totems, or domestic presences, they reflect humanity’s need to understand itself through the natural world and to find connection beyond the human realm.
About the artist:
Born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, Cindy’s artistic odyssey began to take shape while she pursued her studies in art at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Simultaneously, she delved into the demanding world of graphic design, embracing the challenges of a full-time job while nurturing her creative spirit through personal artistic exploration outside the realms of work and academia.

In a pivotal twist, Cindy’s path led her to the majestic landscapes of Boulder, Colorado, where she embarked on a journey into the realms of archaeology and anthropology. Over the course of a decade, she immersed herself in the rich cultural tapestry of the region, earning a degree from the University of Colorado. This chapter in her life not only enriched her understanding of history but also profoundly influenced her artistic expression.

In 2007, a new adventure awaited Cindy as she accepted the role of Program Manager for the Graphic Contract at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Here, Cindy’s artistry continued to evolve amid the intersection of technology, science, and creative expression, further enriching her unique perspective.

However, the call of her roots eventually drew her back to Huntsville in 2015. It was here that she fulfilled a long-held dream, establishing her own art studio within the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment complex. This move marked a significant turning point, allowing her to fully embrace her identity as a studio artist. Cindy returned to her artistic roots. She rekindled her passion for painting and mixed media, drawing inspiration from her anthropological studies and her intimate connection with the Colorado mountains. Her artwork, born from this introspective period, serves as a reflection of her diverse influences.

About the exhibit:
For centuries artists have opened the eyes and minds of all nations across our world.
It started in caves carving our history with stones marking
the history of our past throughout each generation, the concept of storytelling has evolved.

Now we have many ways to preserve our past as well as a
small look into the future of mankind.
It is important that we continue to create our journey so others
may progress with the understanding of real humanity for all
people, regardless of race, creed or color.
Watch, learn and listen, connect our minds, hearts and souls
for the betterment of mankind.

Timothy Joe - Epilogue Vol. 1

About the exhibit:
Epilogue is a contemplative painting exhibition by artist Timothy M. Joe that examines the final state of manmade structures in landscapes and still-life subjects rendered obsolete by time, neglect, or quiet abandonment. The exhibition positions each work as a visual afterword—an ending that is not dramatic, but subdued, and reflective. Through engaging composition, color palette, and atmospheric techniques, Timothy invites viewers to encounter places and objects that persist beyond their usefulness, existing only as remnants of memory.
By focusing on forgotten landscapes and still life, Epilogue addresses broader themes of loss and quiet endurance. The exhibition offers a reflective space where viewers can confront the emotional resonance of abandonment, and the understated beauty found in what lingers after relevance has passed.

From the artist:
My favorite subjects are rural structures in landscapes and nature journaling. I love learning the history of my subject and gain the appreciation that helps me create meaningful art. Creating a beautiful painting is nice, but painting the same scene with an understanding of the history is what I am after. I believe the backstory of my subject is just as important as the color I choose to paint. My art style concentrates on the light effect on my subject matter and contrast between light and shadow.

Joey Norwood - The Age of the BarMoth Has Ended!

Lowe Mill A&E invites patrons and art lovers to join us for Open Studio Night, a building-wide experience when our over 150 studios will be open to the public.

About the exhibit:
“I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.”
– Walt Whitman
“The Age of the BarMoth Has Ended!” is a personal shrine to the popular Five Points establishment, 1892 East Restaurant & Tavern, which closed its doors in May of 2025, after over fifteen years of indulging the appetites of its many patrons and matrons. Its bar was a wonderful place to have a casual conversation with strangers or to develop lifelong friendships, all while quaffing local brews or sipping magical elixirs concocted by their many talented mixologists.
A centerpiece of this installation is the collection of “bar napkin art” loaned by Ben (Going), who, for several years, was the loquacious Wednesday night bartender.
These paper napkins were stained almost exclusively from high gravity, dark beers (such as Unobtainium, a bourbon barrel-aged Old Ale, locally brewed by Straight To Ale) or stouts, then were subsequently embellished with ink pen, creating surreal imagery.
Other objects d’art of this installation are made from former 1892 East advertising signage. Some of these were designed by another bartender, Allen (Meeks), whose resounding laughter was often heard during his tenure there.
This installation is dedicated to the many waiters and waitresses, chefs and kitchen staff, and hosts and hostesses who knew the BarMoth by name; and especially to the bartenders (and *mixologists!) and closers who most inspired the artist with their openness and fast friendships (and, of course, marvelous *concoctions!): Allen, Anna, Ben, *Christina, **Chuck, Dylan, Jordan, Juna, *Kimbo, *Mary, *Mike, Miriam, and *Timothy.
The BarMoth’s C8H11NO2 (3,4-Dihydroxyphenethylamine) receptors are forever grateful!

About the artist:
Joey Norwood is an Alabama native whose art tends to focus on installations featuring abstract concepts. He has exhibited in Lowe Mill since its conversion into an artist’s haven over twenty years ago. The current installation is the fourth in a biennial winter/spring series, which includes “Ha-i-ku-ba-ti-o-n (in the yurt)” (2024), “Hyperfactual” (2022), and “Hind-Sight is Twenty-Twenty” (2020), but harkens back to another from nearly thirteen years ago: “Quinceañera” – a celebration of fifteen years of marriage to his extraordinary and lovely wife, Beth. Celebrating another fifteen year span of time, “The Age of the BarMoth Has Ended!” commemorates the rise and fall of a local “Restaurant & Tavern” which enriched the artist’s life with delicious food, large quantities of spirited libations, and extra, heaping helpings of camaraderie with the bartenders, waitstaff, kitchen staff, and regulars at the bar of 1892 East.

CattyShack Lounge Reservations
2026-04-30 11:00 - 19:00 | Cattyshack | Studio 1062
Cattyshack, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of shelter cats in Alabama. We provide food and medical supplies to our foster homes, as well as pay for all vet care. Click here to MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION TO SAVE MORE KITTENS!
All of our cats are in foster homes, they DO NOT LIVE AT THE CAT LOUNGE. Only a handful of our available cats and kittens come into the Cattyshack Lounge each Thursday-Saturday. If there is a specific kitten you want to meet, you can email us to see if they are on the roster, but that does not guarantee they will be there because the health of cats and kittens can change at a moments notice and they may have to stay home. The only way to guarantee a meet and greet with a specific cat is to have an approved application and arrangements are then made directly with the foster home.
The Cattyshack Lounge, located at Lowe Mill, 2211 Seminole Drive, Studio 1062, Huntsville, AL 35805, is a resource for fundraising, socializing, and a way to increase cat adoptions. It is designed to allow humans of all ages to play or relax, decompress or amp up, and flat out enjoy cats and kittens that need a forever home. You do not need to be looking for a cat to adopt to come visit, just come play! RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED, and a $14 donation per person is requested to complete the reservation online, so make one now by clicking here then come on in, find a comfy spot, and wait for the magic to happen!!
Cat adoptions involve filling out a non-binding application. NO SAME DAY ADOPTIONS ARE DONE AT THE LOUNGE. Please plan to come back to the Lounge the following weekend to pick up your kitty. Please understand that we are all volunteers and it takes time to diligently process each application. To find out more about how the adoption process works, check out the Our Kitties page!
