Alabama Art Monthly (originally Birmingham Art Monthly) was an arts magazine published from 1994 to 1996 by Jon Coffelt of Agnes gallery. At its peak, the monthly counted 5,000 paid subscribers and a distribution of 10,000 copies.
When it was launched, the magazine's all-volunteer staff included Linda Hyde (creative director), Paul Barrett (arts editor), Lee Isaacs (photo editor) and Alan Heldman (arts writer). Hyde left and was succeeded by Carol Yates. Regular features included "Artist to Artist" interviews, a "Gallery of the Month" profile and a "Collector's Page" column. The publication also provided free exhibit listings for public and non-profit galleries and paid listings for commercial gallery exhibits. Despite generous support from the Magic City Art Connection and Space One Eleven, the magazine folded after 20 issues.
