Here to help unleash creativity

For more than 25 years, Forstall Art Center has not only helped Birmingham residents unleash their creativity, but has been a strong supporter of the local art community.

Forstall Art Center, founded by Phillip Forstall in 1976, provides art supplies, custom framing, art classes, art workshops, product demos and studio spaces. “We are passionate about art and art materials and strive to offer the best products at the best prices,” Forstall said. “Our knowledgeable staff is available to answer your questions and help you achieve your creative goals.”

In addition to supplying fine art materials, Forstall Art Center enriches the local art community by providing art workshops and art classes. These classes are taught by local and national artists and vary in medium, skill level and cost. They offer watercolor, acrylic, oil, mixed media and drawing workshops for total novices, intermediate artists and experienced artists.

“I love bringing nationally recognized artists to Birmingham because we’re exposing the local art community to people and techniques that they may have never been able to access otherwise,” Forstall said.

Forstall Art Center also specializes in custom framing. Their framers have more than 50 years of combined professional framing experience.

According to Forstall, their dedication and commitment to their customers is what sets them apart. “We love the people and the creative energy they bring to our store every day,” Forstall said. “We think a strong art community is very important to Birmingham, and we are passionate about serving and supporting this community.”
