MUSIC + ART
From Lowe Mills Arts District to FAME Studios, MidCity District is connecting existing resources and developing new opportunities to support the innovators, makers, performers, and artists who bring life to our communities. Our MidCity team works collaboratively to foster the unique cultural identity that attracts people to live, work, and visit North Alabama.
The Orion Amphitheater
The Orion Amphitheater marks a bold new chapter in our region's unparalleled musical history. An 8,000 capacity destination venue built by the people of Huntsville, for the people of Huntsville.
"More than an amphitheater, this facility will help us grow our music and culture economy. It will allow us to become a community of curators, where we can develop our own creative content that is unique to Huntsville that we can share globally. In addition to arts festivals, markets, and world-famous musicians, we’ll be able to incubate our own talent, showing that our next great entrepreneurs don’t all have to be in space and missile defense." - Tommy Battle, Mayor Of Huntsville
The Camp
A mini-piece of MidCity. The living brochure of The District. The Camp is an entertainment and arts venue that is setting the tone for what’s to come. With live music, farmers markets, chef-curated seasonal food truck menus, a two-story shipping container coffee shop, & unique community events - patrons can enjoy themselves at The Camp as they watch MidCity grow vertical.
Public Art
Perhaps one of the most integral elements of placemaking is the creative layer which defines the distinct blocks of MidCity. Murals, public art, augmented reality, color, texture, and inviting dwelling spaces fabricated by local and international talent not only make MidCity 1 of 1, but this layer allows patrons to stay, shop, rest, eat, and repeat. Ever-changing kinetic sculptures, fiber optic lighting, canopies, interactive sculptures, and captivating colors ensure that each visit to MidCity is not like the last.
