Music & Culture Center

Initially conceived as a radio station with a music venue in the small rural artistic community of Waverly, AL, this project grew in function so the community could profit from the economic benefit of outside visitors. The radio waves become the community's voice reaching out to the surrounding urban areas to draw people in to a single place for cultural enjoyment.

The facility has been arranged to host various cultural functions from a musical performance to a small gallery showing, events that Waverly already hosts on a regular basis. Civic meetings, local arts and crafts fairs, and religious services could all be held here.

This project becomes an icon for local music and culture while giving the locals something tangible in which they can take pride.
