The Centre for the Living Arts, Inc. operates the historic Saenger Theatre and Space 301, a non-profit contemporary art gallery.

Erected in January of 1927, the stately, European-style Saenger Theatre in Mobile has witnessed thousands of top performers, acts, ballets and musicals throughout its almost eighty years of existence. The Saenger Theatre is a historic landmark, treasured for its architectural beauty and ties to our cultural history, as well as for the caliber of entertainment it offers our community today. With its newly renovated and upgraded electrical system, VIP facilities, stage rigging and state of the art sound system, the Saenger Theatre truly lives up to its reputation as, “Alabama’s greatest showplace.”

Space 301 opened its doors in November of 2003 in the former Mobile Press-Register building in downtown Mobile. It was established as a non-collecting gallery space dedicated to the practice, study, exhibition and enjoyment of contemporary visual art with exhibitions featuring works by significant local, regional and national artists. Our excellent educational and public programs for all ages aim to challenge the minds and spark the imaginations of our visitors.
