Lindsey Cummins (she/her/hers) is a Louisville, KY-based Independent Curator, Collections Advisor, and Community Arts Organizer.

Through her business, AVID Collectors, LLC, Lindsey uplifts her arts community by assisting patrons and private collections. In 2020, Lindsey co-founded Printed, an arts collective that connects makers and inspires creative work through the accessible zine format. Lindsey also works alongside her partner, Ellie Bruner, on their nomadic art and design studio, Kudzu Jelly, weaving art exhibitions into shared spaces.

Lindsey holds a degree in Studio Art, Art History, and Modern Culture from Louisville’s Hite Art Institute. She sits on the Board of the Portland Museum and is a member of the International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art (IKT).

Lindsey’s nonprofit partner, Louisville Grows, plants trees and cultivates nourishing produce to benefit neighborhoods where loss of tree canopy creates significant Urban Heat Island Effect, and where lack of grocery stores causes food insecurity. 

Lindsey’s project seeks to commission large-scale artwork for long-term installation on the grounds and possibly on the building exteriors of Louisville Grows, with the aim of enhancing visitors’ experiences and promoting care-driven investment in shared neighborhood spaces.

Anne Borders brings richly varied experience to the 2024-2025 CPI cohort. Having earned degrees in Art History and Classics from the University of Kentucky, she worked at the Speed Art Museum after graduation. Since then, she’s been a professional yoga instructor, visual artist, and interior designer, among other pursuits. Her lifelong engagement with visual art includes fond memories of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as a child and building a personal collection of art over the course of many years. 

Anne’s nonprofit partner, the Earth and Spirit Center, cultivates transformative learning and service opportunities dedicated to mindful awakening, compassionate justice, and care for the Earth.

Anne’s project seeks to commission a number of large-scale, long-term sculptural installations to be sited on the Center’s property, which includes wooded walking trails, mowed fields, and orchards. The works will integrate seamlessly with the Center’s landscape and programming, operating as prompts for or focuses of meditative contemplation.
