Another mural is beginning to go up, this one at Kerrick Elementary School! We'll be posting updates as the kids keep working to complete this magical project.
Thanks to Fund for the Arts' 5x5 program for giving these kids such a great opportunity!

Comic Art with Kevlen Goodner
Illustrator Kevlen Goodner spent a week with our Comic Art summer camp class. Here's what he shared with his Facebook fans:
"I simply cannot say enough about the incredible young people I was privileged to meet and honored to work with at this week's Louisville Visual Art summer camp. I have no doubt that I met with future illustrators whose work will dazzle us in the pages of comics, manga and even animation!
I'm even more proud of the fact that the class was made up predominantly of young women! Their voices will be heard loud and clear, their stories told near and far! Thank you so much to each and every one of them.
Thank you to the parents and loved ones who continue to encourage and inspire them to reach their creative goals. And thank you to LVA for the invitation to share in this beautiful experience. Support your local art organizations! These are our neighbors dedicating their lives to enriching ours. Thank you a million/billion times over to the awesome Jacqueliine Pallesen and the amazing Annette Cable! You guys are Rock Stars in the truest since of the words ;)
See you soon

Dreamcatchers at Home of the Innocents
LVA instructor Liz has been working with students at Home of the Innocents on several projects, including a mural to be unveiled soon and these dreamcatchers. A fellow institution that has worked for more than 100 years to benefit Louisville, HOTI shares LVA's mission to give children and young adults "the opportunity to access services that may be hard to find elsewhere."
Painting Lab: Animals
LVA Painting Lab students sing: "I'm an animal / you're an animal, too."
Painting Lab students (ages 7-12) use a variety of surfaces, including paper, wood and canvas. Simple compositions lead to experimentation with various approaches to painting, and students have the chance to experiment with non-traditional techniques.
Picture Love: Capturing Nature
LVA instructor Sarah led a Picture Love class as they practiced capturing nature at the Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation Sun Valley Community Center.
