16 Main Website!
Now you can pop right over to 16 Main's very own website for the latest news, events, and class info. A lot more will be added over time but go check it out. Yeah, go on. I'll wait right here for you.
THANK YOU!
What an amazing night the 16 Main Grand Opening turned out to be! Mayor Paul Finley and city councilman Tim Holcombe were here as we cut the ribbon to make everything official. Mayor Finley even shared fantastic news about revitalization here in the historic district -- money has been approved to update and beautify downtown with underground utilities, better parking, and improved sidewalks!
Main Street was packed with friends and supporters who quickly made their way inside to see what all the excitement is about. Several hundred folks came out to see our new home and the response was both humbling and breathtaking. 16 Main was packed to capacity all evening with new folks dropping in as late as 9pm and later. We heard so many wonderful comments --
- "Just what Madison needed!"
- "You have given this town a unique personality."
- "I can't believe this is north Alabama. . .it's more like something you'd find in a major city."
- "The artwork on display is truly top notch!"
- "Love it, love it, LOVE IT!"
And that's just a very, very tiny sampling of the great comments!
Thank you to our generous sponsors for providing the food, drink and even entertainment for the kids!

And a very heartfelt thank you to our families, friends, and customers (old and new!) who came out to celebrate with us. We wouldn't be here without you.
We can't wait to see where this path takes us!
It's official --
16 Main Grand Opening!
5pm, Friday

Update April 16, 2010
One giant step is complete -- we are out of the old location and can now concentrate on getting set up at 16 Main! The roster of artists taking part in the new creative community is growing and plans are well underway for lots of events that include our neighbors.
We hope to open in early May with the official ribbon cutting a little later. Stay tuned here for all the details!
Hale Fire Glass is moving!
During the next few weeks we'll be packing up shop and moving one block west to 16 Main Street, formerly the Clay House Museum. We're joining forces with several local artists to form a creative arts community right here in Madison's historic downtown.
Keep an eye out for updates here!
Thanks,
Terry
