 Parkland Canvas Finds its Home
For 21 years, Louisville Metro employees have lovingly kept a large, colorful canvas collaboratively painted by youths from 2003 and that depicts the Parkland neighborhood.
It was safely stored, first at the old Office for Youth Development and then finally at YES! Youth Engagement Services at OSHN.
Now, the canvas will be permanently, and properly housed at the newly renovated Parkland Library in the Parkland neighborhood.
The existence of this artwork showcases not just the talent of past local youth, but the respect and care government employees gave it for some many years.
 External Agency Fund (EAF) grants are a critical initiative by Louisville Metro Government to support local organizations that deliver essential services and programs across our community.
By providing financial resources to nonprofit agencies, the EAF grants help foster a safer, stronger, more vibrant, and equitable Louisville. The grants are specifically designed to address critical needs, including social services, youth development, and arts and culture.
