Photo by Emily Net Featuring Nicolette Lim's Artwork
On June 20, the Loudoun House welcomed dozens of guests coming to view the work of Nicolette Lim. Her exhibition, Strange Harvest, consists of installations, drawings and sculptures and was “borne from her need to process the memories of the annual haze season that occurred throughout her adolescence in Malaysia.” Lim was in attendance all day to welcome a constant flow of viewers and talk with them about her show where she received raving reviews and compliments, from the enamoured crowds. Lim’s college mentors also came to support her in her solo exhibition. It was a great time to be social (safely) and finally see some works of art in person after a long drought of isolation. ​

Artwork by Fayette County Public School K-12 Students
Identifying talented young artists to help them foster and develop creativity in the arts is the goal of the gifted and talented department of Fayette County Schools. Through this collaboration with the Lexington Art League I am excited to present a group of young artists, and what inspires them, with the Lexington community.

Students were challenged to produce a relatively abstract mixed media artwork that expresses their unique vision of the world. They were invited to imagine, experiment, and put to practice their own art skills to develop an artwork specifically for public exhibition. 
​
As the Visual and Performing Arts Specialist for the gifted and talented department of Fayette County Schools, I have the privilege of working with our students and the arts community to create opportunities, promote access to new and exciting visual art opportunities, and give young artists time and places to experience visual arts in the real world.
