Changes are happening at the Lexington Art League...
The Lexington Art League is starting off the new year with a new mission, exhibition program, and strategic plan, which were developed during the interim directorship of Matt Collinsworth. As Collinsworth leaves to direct a museum in the Midwest, the Art League continues to move forward with its next iteration – one that promotes a vibrant and inclusive visual arts community in Lexington.
Lori Houlihan, a long-time Art League Board member, has been hired as Interim Operations Manager to develop and oversee donor relations, manage the day-to-day operations of the Art League and its home in the Loudoun House. Houlihan, the former Director of Arts & Cultural Affairs for Mayor Jim Gray, will serve in this position on a part-time basis as the Art League continues to develop its staffing plan.
“We are thrilled that Lori was available to step into this new role as Matt Collinsworth’s interim period drew to a close and he accepted another position out of state,” said Arthur Shechet, the Art League’s President. “We have an exciting slate of exhibitions and events planned for 2019, and we know that Lori will be a great asset to the organization.”
The first exhibitions in the new series opened on January 18, 2019. These include solo exhibitions by Clay Wainscott, Benjamin Salley, and Susan Deaton. The fourth show is a group exhibition curated by Samantha Simpson, including works by Natalie Baxter, Adrienne Dixon, Lori Larusso, and John Norris. Other artists featured in 2019 exhibitions will include Martin Beck, Mia Cinelli, Crimson Duvall, Gary Graham, Robert Morgan, Brandon Smith, Travis Townsend, Lina Tharsing, LaVon Williams, and others.
The Lexington Art League also operates the annual Woodland Art Fair (August 17-18, 2019) in partnership with Lexington Parks and Recreation and will introduce the new NorthSide Festival on Saturday, April, 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Castlewood Park.
"The Loudoun House has been a prominent fixture in the North End of Lexington for more than 150 years, but we are using the NorthSide Festival as a means to re-engage with the people in this neighborhood and remind them that our doors are always open to them," said Shechet.
Founded in 1957, the Lexington Art League is central Kentucky’s original arts organization. The league exists to create opportunities for Lexington area artists and those who appreciate their work through exhibitions, special events, and other programs. The Lexington Art League can be reached at info@lexingtonartleague.org or 859.254.7024.
