Moss Magic (Moss Rock Festival + Magic City Art Connection)

Join us November 7-8 at the Hoover Met Complex for MOSS MAGIC, a fall fusion festival featuring the 15th  Moss Rock Festival (MRF) with special guest Magic City Art Connection (MCAC).

MOSS MAGIC will bring together artists from two of Birmingham’s favorite outdoor festivals for a record collaborative year featuring over 125+ juried exhibiting artists. Many works of art to be shown are inspired or influenced by nature and use recycled, upcycled, or repurposed items, among other works featuring natural materials like wood, clay or glass. With the addition of the new roster of talent from MCAC's downtown contemporary art festival, which was cancelled this past spring, the choice of art will be extra diverse at MOSS MAGIC.

Moss Rock Festival, Alabama’s premier eco-creative festival and the “Moss” of the MOSS MAGIC fusion festival, will continue its mission of exploring Nature, SmartLIVING, Art + Design and more. It’s 2020 features include:

1) SmartLIVING ideas and a marketplace that offers offer patrons access to interesting local choices for everyday living including fresh, organic, locally made, sustainable products as well as consumables in the area of health, home, body, and cuisine.

2) +Design artisans are intermixed with artists and will be showing off their place in the world of design and how their creations support, guide, complement, and surprise everyday life.

3) Nature exhibitors and organizations that can connect enthusiasts with the great outdoors, wildlife, and getting active in nature
