There's also an ample stage area in the back that has hosted fetish balls, poetry slams, fire-dancing, experimental music, and performance art.

2009 | Best Art House

Before there was a First Friday or a Roosevelt Row, the best -- and for a while, the only -- place to find alternative contemporary art was Alwun House. Folks looking for a funky, big-city art scene had only Alwun, downtown's first gallery, to rely on for "something different," art-wise. The first independent non-profit art space, Alwun set the current trend of galleries' advocating for artists with its Alwun House Foundation, the first local arts organization to address the...

I have been to many events at the Alwun House. The house itself is a historic home, which houses the art exhibits that you can SEE. But outside there is an outdoor stage where there is auditory art! Eyegasms and eargasms. :-) LOVE this place!
