The ASMS Gallery is located in the Bedsole Building on the school’s campus and is free and open to the public.

The gallery is now showing Images, Tiling & VRML. This exhibit showcases work by ASMS students and is not  limited to art.  The show is an assemblage of work from AP Art , Mathematics, and Computer Science. Each work reveals the tremendous role that computers and technology play in the lives of ASMS students.

The AP art students worked with computers, metal casting, ceramics, enameling, painting and drawing. The computer science class used VRML programming to visualize, render and animate complicated three dimensional forms. The mathematics students used computations to tile various forms. This exhibit gives the public access to some of the interesting academic projects going on within ASMS and allows students and faculty to display their work within the ASMS community.

The gallery is managed by artist and ASMS art instructor Orren Kickliter.  Funding for the Gallery is made possible through a grant from the Arts Initiative of the Undesignated Community Endowment of The Community Foundation of South Alabama. The gallery brings tangible academic and artistic content that will add to and support the excellent academic program at ASMS. 

“Ideally, art that has scientific concerns and/or incorporates scientific reasoning will be shown,” says Kickliter.  “Visitors will see art that uses technology and computers.  The gallery will also be open to any type of exhibit, traditional art or any other academic area. We could host exhibits centering around research in physics or history.”

The ASMS Gallery will be open to any exhibit or media that is academic in nature; however, media or exhibit concepts that deal with scientific concerns will be encouraged.  What is unique about the space is the fact that it can accommodate electronic media.  LCD displays and digital projectors can be located throughout the gallery, making it possible to exhibit art or academic research from anywhere in the world.  In addition, the gallery content could be programmed to change throughout the day.
