“Grants from the Fund have been an important and significant part of the Association's budget each year. The staff at the Fund does an excellent job of fund-raising as well as assisting member agencies with strategy for their own fund-raising efforts. We are grateful to have had such a long and beneficial association with the Fund for the Arts.”


The Louisville Visual Art Association, one of the oldest visual art groups in America, was founded in 1909 as an exhibition forum to provide Louisville artists and patrons with opportunities to see contemporary visual art. By the 1980s, the organization had relocated to and renovated a national historic landmark, the Water Tower, Louisville’s first water pumping station. It serves as an artist-oriented exhibition space and displays of some of the area’s longest running and most respected shows like the Water Tower Annual.

LVAA constantly seeks to expand its audience and bring visual art opportunities to underserved groups. Its outreach program, Open Doors, works with area social service agencies to provide art experiences to special needs constituents. Building on its considerable tradition, LVAA’s mission continues to be “to foster an appreciation of today’s visual art.”

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.
