Albertus Gorman discusses G.W. Morrison, Artist: To a Finer Effect, the exhibit that he curated at the Cultural Arts Center. Tune into Artists Talk with LVA on WXOX 97.1 FM at 10 AM.

The Floyd County Carnegie Library Cultural Arts Center is showing G.W. Morrison, Artist: To a Finer Effect, through August 1, 2026, in the Sally Newkirk Gallery. Curated by Albertus Gorman, this exhibition is presented in celebration of Gorman’s forthcoming book, the first on the artist, titled To a Fine Effect: George W Morrison, 1820-1893. G.W. Morrison, Artist: To a Finer Effect features works by 19th-century New Albany artist George W. Morrison, including many highlighted in Gorman’s book.

For twenty-five years, Albertus Gorman has been the self-designated ‘Artist at Exit 0’ and the unofficial artist-in-residence at the Falls of the Ohio State Park in Clarksville, Indiana, across the river from Louisville where the artist calls his home. Though a small state park, this area holds deep significance for life, myth, and American History, which Gorman responds to in the present situations. For Gorman, the Falls of the Ohio River is one of the special places in the world where the location holds perceivable, palpable energy. The compression of time felt while standing on the ancient bedrock of the Ohio River and seeing the contemporary city of Louisville on the near horizon is a dynamic experience of ever-changing environmental effects that attract and sustain a variety of life.

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.
