Last Friday, our community gathered for an unforgettable evening at LVA Honors—celebrating the artists, leaders, and advocates who make our creative community so vibrant.
We were proud to honor Tom Pfannerstill, Ying Kit Chan, Robyn Gibson, and Julien Robson—individuals whose work and dedication embody the spirit of LVA and the power of creative leadership.
We’re also grateful to our wonderful MC, Dawne Gee, and to WAVE News for helping us share the energy of the evening with the broader community. Watch the feature story here: Louisville Visual Arts Honors Gala celebrates local artists
Thank you to everyone who attended, made a gift, or supported the event in any way. Together, we raised over $44,000 to support LVA programming in the year ahead! |
There's still time to be part of that momentum. Your gift today helps ensure that LVA can continue providing high-quality arts education, supporting local artists, and expanding access to the arts for all. |

Art for Arthur Street is a permanent installation of artworks at Arthur Street Hotel, a local hotel-style transitional housing service for individuals experiencing homelessness. Curated by Curate, Purchase, Inspire (CPI) Fellow Hannah Dewitt in partnership with Louisville Visual Art, the project cultivates a positive environment of artistic stimulation — offering residents moments of reflection, recognition, and warmth within their daily surroundings.
The works are connected through the principle of mutual aid — the practice of people supporting one another through community-led systems of care — emphasizing connection, dignity, and person-to-person solidarity. This is a free event. We'll have refreshments and snacks, so please RSVP! |
