Louisville Metro Council announces a call for artists for the Second Annual Art in City Hall Exhibit

For a second year, Louisville Metro’s Historic City Hall will once again be a place to see the works of local artists as the call goes out for the Second Annual Art in City Hall Exhibit.

          “This program has caught the attention of many visitors to City Hall over the last year. Art in City Hall is an opportunity to showcase the wide array of visual talent we have here in Metro Louisville,” says President David James (D-6). “I want to encourage local artists to apply for this year’s exhibit. There are many people who come through our building and get an opportunity to experience the creativity of so many people in our city.”

          “Art in City Hall” works in partnership with the Commission on Public Art to use the public lobby areas and hallways of all three floors in Historic City Hall as a display area to showcase visual arts.

“Art in City Hall is designed to showcase the work of Louisville artists, and to encourage dialogue and enjoyment of visual art in a public space,” said Sarah Lindgren, Public Art Administrator for Louisville Metro Government.

The opportunity is open to all artists of any race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality or disability working in Louisville/Jefferson County.  Interested artists should submit an application online at https://louisvilleky.gov/government/public-art. There is no entry fee.

Each artist selected to exhibit their work will receive a $500 honorarium. The Art in City Hall exhibit will take place over October 2019 to September 2020.

     The deadline for submitting works of art is September 8th.

     The finalists will be announced in October 2019.

For questions, please contact: Sarah Lindgren, Public Art Administrator Sarah.Lindgren@louisvilleky.gov at 502-574-1554.

Upcoming Events at Newburg Library!

Save the date and get involved - September 15 - Love Sings Louder

Sunday, September 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Iroquois Amphitheatre, enjoy a free, community-wide, multi-faith, multi-cultural, intergenerational program: Love Sings Louder. 

The Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Center has been inspired by the currently popular “mass singing initiatives” facilitated by groups like Israel’s Koolulam and Canada’s Choir!Choir!Choir!. These events bring together a diverse range of community members with the idea to stop everything for a few hours and just sing together.

In partnership with a diverse group of community leaders, groups and organizations, the Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Center will bring this experience to the Louisville community, enabling participants to enjoy the feeling of togetherness through a deep communal experience – their sounds and voices coming together to create a social choir, full of hope and optimism.

Co-Chairs: Councilperson Barbara Sexton-Smith & Mark Perelmuter

Event Committee (as of June 4, 2019): Amy Shir (LHOME),  Edgardo Mansilla (Americana), Kevin Traeger, Jessica Loving (Jewish Community Relations Council), JP Davis (Fund for the Arts), Cantor David Lipp (Adath Jesurun) Haleh Harimi (IDP), Anne Ensign-Urteaga (J Arts & Ideas), Adrienne Eisenmenger & John Koehlinger (KRM), Wanda Mitchell-Smith (Metro District 4), Michael Drury (Pandora Productions), Chris Hartman (Fairness Campaign), Ashley Duncan (JCPS), Terri Foster (Louisville Youth Orchestra), Mera Corlett (Okolona Baptist Church), Dr. Muhammad Babar (APPKI)

LouieConnect

Louisville non-profits have launched a new website to help connect people in need of food, shelter, and more.  Metro United Way and the Family Scholar House partnered to create LouieConnect, modeling it on a similar site created in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  When someone uses LouieConnect, the web-based app asks for basic information and then lists applicable resources nearby — from food pantries to shelters to career centers to financial literacy programs.
