In the fall of 1894 a pioneering group of people disembarked from a steamboat on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. They brought with them tools, supplies, and a drive to create the unique and forward-thinking town of Fairhope.
As Fairhope celebrates it's 130th birthday this year, it also introduces its largest installation of public art yet. The
seahorses at Arts Alley were designed to bring together some traits Fairhope prides itself on the most: a commitment to the arts, a deep connection with its home along Mobile Bay, and a celebration of the rich history and people that helped create it.
Explore the pages below to learn more about these sculptures, the ecosystems of Mobile Bay, and the history of a small, coastal town established in 1894.
The seahorse sculptures were made possible by the Fairhope Single Tax Cooporation, the City of Fairhope, and the many generous residents who shared their stories by contributing material for this Project. The seahorse at Arts Alley were sculpted by artist Bruce Larsen. The project was designed by Brock Larsen and managed by William Legg. This site is owned and operated by Bruce Larsen Art.
