The
West Louisville Performing Arts Academy (formerly the
West Louisville Boys Choir and West Louisville Girls Choir)
was established in 1990 by McDaniel Bluitt, a retired
music teacher with twenty-eight years of experience in
the Jefferson Country Public School system. The West Louisville
Performing Arts Academy (WLPAA) is a registered 501(c)
(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to create
artistic opportunities for underprivileged youth ages
8-19 and to assist in the development of academic proficiency
and sound life skills that are necessary to enable these
youth to become assets to our society. Participants meet
up to four nights per week for rehearsals, tutoring sessions,
and leadership training, among other activities. The WLPAA
currently averages two concerts per month.
For
more information, please call McDaniel Bluitt at (502)
386-0226 or (502) 582-0123. You may also visit their website at www.wlpaa.org.

Louisville Visual Art Association
presents
Launchings
Resolution and Resolve by Alex Schmitz
|
This energetic group of seven young artists is at a formative point in their careers. Each artist presented is developing an individual voice, and as expected, the work is visceral and intuitive. All of the artists have recently finished their Bachelor of Fine Arts and are either enrolled in graduate school or working in their studios, and outside of the academic environment.
As such, it is a challenging period for these young professionals. The seven artists featured in Launchings are off to a strong career start – each demonstrating the passion and talent required for professional success in the visual arts. Launchings is a small exhibit packed with big ideas, powerful images, and a "sneak peek" into the future of visual arts in Kentuckiana.
The Water Tower
Runs through October 5th
Monday - Friday: 9 am to 5 pm
Sunday: Noon - 4 pm
