If there’s one thing Louisville will be known for in 10 years, it’s our arts scene.
Heck, many of us already know — and with the recent establishment of the Louisville Creative Connection, the Louisville Orchestra’s Creator Corps + the legacy of longstanding organizations like Fund for the Arts, locals across mediums are already working to elevate our profile as an arts city.
That’s why we’re presenting you with 5 must-see art galleries to fuel your creative contemplation.
