The East Lake Performing Arts Studio has taken the space that was once a porn theater, the "Cinema Blue Theater," thus removing some blight from East Lake and replacing it with artistic endeavor.

The events are the result of a partnership between REV Birmingham and the Alabama Dance Council. REV Birmingham "revitalizes places and energizes business to create vibrancy in the City of Birmingham." The Alabama Dance Council "is a statewide, nonprofit service organization for the Alabama dance community. The ADC's mission is to promote the study, creation, performance and enjoyment of dance in all forms."
Be sure to come to the East Lake Community this month to see the things that are happening at East Lake Artist Village.
