How do you acknowledge fostering the visual arts in Louisville for 100 years? You have an enormous party with 350+ artists, students, and patrons. It’s official, the LVAA is the second oldest arts organization in the region, and our supporters were happy to partake in last week’s festivities.
In recognition of their vital support and commitment to the Visual Arts in Louisville, the LVAA honored the following individuals and organizations:
- Dr. Sheldon Berman of Jefferson County County Schools (pictured above) for his support of the Children’s Free Art Classes Program
- GuardiaCare Serivces, Inc. for collaboration with the Open Doors Program
- the Fund For the Arts
- Brown-Forman
- Billy Hertz & Tom Schnepf were given the Artist Entrepreneur Award
The Louisville Youth Choir entertained our guests’ ears while students of the Children’s Free Art Classes program adorned the walls with their artwork. The event was a wonderful prelude to an entire year of celebrating the LVAA. You certainly will be hearing more about up-coming Centennial events.
