In a unique collaboration between Kentucky Opera and Louisville Visual Art, students enrolled In The Academy of LVA during the spring semester were engaged in a contest to create artwork inspired by Kentucky Opera’s Brown-Forman 2018/19 Season — "The Magic Flute," "Enemies, A Love Story," and “Rigoletto." The winning submission best represented the upcoming season.

Congrats to Madelynn Hicks, a 17-year-old junior at North Oldham High School, who studied under teacher Sunny Ra. She will be awarded a $250 cash prize by LVA. Additionally, Kentucky Opera will make a commemorative season poster to feature this winning submission.

LVA and Kentucky Opera greatly enjoyed collaborating on this incredible opportunity for a high school student's works to be selected!
