Artists Talk with LVA: April 23, 2026

Hannah DeWitt discusses her recently completed CPI Fellowship and the resulting exhibit, Art for Arthur Street. Tune into Artists Talk with LVA on WXOX 97.1 FM at 10 AM.

Hannah DeWitt holds an MFA from the Hite Institute of Art and Design at the University of Louisville and a BFA from Spalding University. She is a multimedia artist with an emphasis on conceptual performative works, both live and digital. Her works are often participatory, deeply personal, and at times, ethically fraught as she fumbles in the dark in search of someone, anyone to witness. Blurring the line between public and private space, her work balances on the edge of radical vulnerability and exhibitionism.

Hannah is also a Curate Purchase Inspire Fellow with Louisville Visual Art, and on April 12, she unveiled the resulting exhibit, Art for Arthur Street.
