At Downs After Dark - Art of the Horse at Churchill Downs, finalists for the Official Artist of the 2018 Breeders' Cup displayed their art, giving racing fans chances to see their choices close-up.
LVA board member Meredith Harber was interviewed about LVA and all the amazing artists we get to work with.
We even appeared on the Jumbotron.
LVA was thrilled to join the Waterfront Development Corporation, Mayor Greg Fischer, city council members and organizers of some of this summer's biggest events taking place on the Waterfront, including LVA's new "Waterfront Adventures"!

We were excited to talk with neighbors and gather community input to inspire our new murals on Muhammad Ali Blvd!
Even Mayor Fischer stopped by to enjoy the fun!

LVA coordinates exhibitions of local artists at Metro Hall, so on this night all gathered to pay tribute to artists CJ Pressma, Jenny Zeller, and Mitch Eckert. Also saluted were the participants of our summer program Picture Love, a partnership between LVA and Metro Parks that returns this summer!
To look at her, you would not believe she is ready to retire - yet on August 31, Althea Jackson will spend her last day on the job at Louisville Metro Hall.
For 27 years, she has worked for Metro Government, mostly in the Mayor’s Office. Her duties over that enviable length of service were far-ranging, but her experience as the key arts & culture contact for three mayors was the foundation of her outstanding reputation and where her legacy will rest. During the current administration, she helped bring exhibits into Metro Hall representing Louisville Visual Art, the University of Louisville, the Frazier Museum and the Speed Museum. In addition, Althea hosted "Metro Matters," a weekly radio show on 1350 WLOU and 104.7 FM that was an essential vehicle for outreach in the community.
Althea served on the board of directors for Louisville Visual Art for several years, and all at LVA are sad to see her go ... but excited at what adventures lie ahead. LVA congratulates her on such distinguished service to our community!
