What is the SPARK Sculpture at Louisville Visual Art (LVA)? The SPARK Sculpture is a large work of art that the artist team HADDAD|DRUGAN has been commissioned to create. It will be installed on the side of LVA’s building at 1538 Lytle Street in the summer of 2024. SPARK stands for Student + Professional Art Resources + Knowledge - and that's what you will find at LVA's Lytle Street building! The SPARK sculpture includes bright metal elements and clear rods that light up similarly to neon tubes.  The work will also have many “icons” painted onto the wall around the main “SPARK” shape using a stencil process. These “icons” will be designed by YOU! - children and adults in the communities that LVA serves - and will represent the diversity and creativity of the participants.

The Often Seen, Rarely Spoken Mural Collective has been selected to create the painted elements of the design.
LVA's neighbor, Rockerbuilt, will fabricate and install the sculptural components.

We're aiming for work to be done in mid-to-late October.
