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
2026-03-05 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!
