MARCH 11, 2021
Please enjoy this recording of the 2021 LVA Honors; a joyful celebration of the ways our city’s cultural vitality sustained and empowered the community during a year like no other.
The 2021 LVA Honors was streamed live on March 11. Thanks to all who attended in support of LVA’s beneficial art education, artist development, and public art programming.
2021 is the fourth Louisville Visual Art Honors event and is already an eagerly anticipated landmark on the city’s Art calendar. Drawing energy from the past, present, and future, the LVA Honors strengthen bonds between successive generations of artists, educators, and appreciative audiences. Recognizing educators and patrons alongside artists, the Louisville Visual Art Honors embrace the entire ecosystem of visual culture, every part of which enhances the prominence, quality, and purposes of Art in our visually vibrant city. Last year’s Honorees will present the Awards to this year’s Honorees, a demonstration of the inter-generational connections necessary to keep art alive in Louisville.
