Louisville artist Jaylin Stewart has partnered with Coach, been featured on national media outlets, won numerous awards for her artwork, and now she is the subject of a new documentary.
“This is Home: Artist Jaylin Stewart,” a 15-minute film directed by Nathaniel R.A. Spencer, premieres tonight at the Speed Cinema.
The documentary follows Stewart on her year-long journey to create a mural in the California neighborhood, where she was born and raised. For the project, Stewart hired local artists as apprentices + hosted community workshops to paint the vibrant blue and green painting of residents, which was unveiled in September 2022.
The free screening starts at 6 p.m. and will be followed by a 45-minute discussion.
The premiere is part of the Speed Art Museum’s new community initiative, First Thursdays, which provides free admission and programming for people who work past 5 p.m.
