We had such a great time at Louisville's Mini Maker Faire this past Saturday! Annette Cable worked with featured Summer Camp students to facilitate our booth— they helped visitors make their very own robots out of recycled materials!
Have you decided what galleries you are going to visit for the 2015 Photo Biennial? We are for sure going to see Carrie Burr's solo show at Public Gallery, and work by LVA Education Manager Sarah Davis at Studio Work's Photosynthesis, but there are so many choices it's hard to decide! We're thinking Maps of The Imagination will be on our list along with many, many more.
We hope to see you tomorrow at the Mini Maker Faire and Louisville Pride Fest!!

In an exciting example of a corporation infusing money into the community through locally commissioned art, Kroger's is collaborating with Louisville Visual Art to employ local artists to create dynamic interpretations of the surrounding neighborhoods.
LVA and Kroger unveiled four large-format art installations in four stores on August 4, 2015. Three local artists were commissioned by the supermarket chain to create murals at four Louisville-area stores in Prospect, Springhurst, The Highlands neighborhood, and Middletown.
Ashley Brossart brings her unique, trademark approach to cataloging iconic landmarks and buildings that represent the intrinsic character of an area to her art for the Prospect store. The expressionistic edge and idiosyncratic perspective, as in all Brossart's work, encourage a fresh viewpoint on familiar environments.
For the Middletown store, Carrie Neumayer focuses on the Kentucky Derby, architectural landmarks from the area, and the signature roses and lillies featured in the Winner's Garland that is crafted each year at the Middleton Kroger. A lighthearted visual collage of Churchill Downs imagery showcasing the trademark twin spires, racing fans, and, of course, thoroughbred horses, the style reflects the popular illustration work of Ms. Neumayer that is so often featured in Louisville Magazine.
Claire Hirn's piece for the Kroger Highlands store is inspired by the setting of bountiful, colorful produce, integrated with a backdrop of known Highland area elements. The composition takes advantage of the open wall space between and above two windows and moves the eye through color and cut out shapes.
Hirn's design for the Springhurst location is inspired by the proximity of open land and residential living, as one flows into the next visually. Harvesting crops are delivered to the table in this composition, with the texture and colors of the land breathing into our daily lives. All under the rays of our sun!
Each mural had a budget of $10,000, and they can be found in the café section at Prospect, Springhurst and Middletown, and in the produce area at the Highlands store.
We had such a great time with Fund for the Arts and their cultural partners at Slugger Field for Art in the Park last weekend! So many amazing young artists were in the crowd.
