Got Mosquitoes?

Patented University of Kentucky Technology to Premier in Lexington this Summer

No Genetic No Modification Chemicals

Targeted Approach

HOW IT WORKS We breed and release ZAP® male mosquitoes.

Only female mosquitoes bite.

Male Mosquitoes DON’T BITE! Our ZAP® male mosquitoes seek out Tiger mosquito females (invasive to the USA) to mate.

EPA Registered

Most people want fewer mosquitoes, but they don’t want chemicals sprayed near places where kids or pets play. With reports of environmental damage to beneficial insects, bees, and butterflies, they are reluctant to rely on traditional, chemical-based mosquito control.

However, folk’s minds may be changing with new invasive mosquitoes, like the Tiger mosquito, which has become the most common biting mosquito throughout much of the USA. With the threat of ZIKA and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, its enough to convince even the most reluctant to call in the chemical trucks.

Starting this summer, Lexington residents will have a new, effective alternative to chemical treatments. A small spin-off company, ‘MosquitoMate,’ will be selling a new technology that has been developed at the University of Kentucky.

No eggs hatch and the life cycle is interrupted.

The result is a 70-90% reduction in your yard’s biting Tiger mosquito population.

MosquitoMate describes its technology as ‘partnering with nature,’ because its technology relies on a naturally occurring bacterium that occurs in over half of all insect species. The Wolbachia bacterium can cause mosquito sterility, which results in fewer mosquitoes. EPAregulated trials have shown greater than 80% reductions of the Tiger mosquito population.

The MosquitoMate technology is a seasonal plan that starts early in the spring and continues throughout the summer. Each week, professionals will introduce male mosquitoes into your yard.

Importantly, male mosquitoes don’t bite bite. Each female mosquito that mates with a ZAP® male produces eggs that are unable to hatch, resuling in a lower Tiger mosquito population.

STORY BY MICHELLE AIELLO

I

This story was originally published in our sister publication, Business Lexington t’s a commonly accepted notion that health, happiness and productivity at work are interrelated. Employees who feel centered, connected and actively engaged in their work and their lives report increased job satisfaction and a general sense of well-being.

For these reasons and more, many employers are taking a holistic approach to integrating health and wellness initiatives into the workplace. Modern corporate wellness programs tend to encompass more than the occasional health screening and reimbursed gym memberships, however. Initiatives to reduce stress and cultivate mindfulness, such as tai chi, yoga and guided meditation, and active team-building activities like weekly bike rides, have become popular options as businesses place a greater emphasis on day-to-day health and happiness.

RUNNING A FIT BUSINESS

Local companies find creative ways to integrate health and wellness into the workplace

Above: CycleBar at Fritz Farm hosts about 20 private classes a month for businesses, university staff and other professional organizations.

Left: The staff at Bullhorn Creative prepares for an afternoon yoga session at neighborhing wellness sutdio Granola Culture.

“For many, the office or workplace can be draining,” said Corinne LaReau, owner of Source on High, a local wellness center that works with businesses and organizations like the YMCA, Ronald McDonald House, the University of Kentucky’s College of Nursing, Hyatt Regency, Sullivan University and the Lexington Humane Society, among others, to provide wellness programming.

“When people feel more that they are appreciated, I believe they are more inclined to devote more positive energy into their work and life.”

“Wellness programs can CORRINE LAREAU, reduce the amount of sick SOURCE ON HIGH days, maintain stronger OWNER connections among the staff and lead to better overall production,” LaReau said.

“When people feel that they are appreciated, I believe they are more inclined to devote more positive energy into their work and life.”

Worth the effort While there may be additional costs involved with implementing an employee wellness or fitness program, there are also numerous benefits – not the least of which is disease prevention. Since the sedentary nature of many office jobs has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other health concerns, many companies see the opportunity to help workers counterbalance a sedentary lifestyle as a responsible choice. And, because of the decreased likelihood of chronic (if not terminal) illness, employers may also save money on health insurance costs and other benefits.

Hospice is...

another chance to share your heart.

Your loved one deserves the opportunity to make memories and to have comfort during their final months.

Bluegrass Hospice Care can help with this and so much more. Our team of experts provides compassionate care to the patient and family, wherever they call home.

Findings from 56 studies on worksite wellness programs published by the American Journal of Health Promotion showed an average 27 percent reduction in sick leave absenteeism, 26 percent reduction in health care costs and 32 percent reduction in workers’ compensation and disability management cost claims among businesses with active programs in place. The University of Michigan Health Management Research Center estimates that an organization saves $350 annually when a low-risk employee remains low risk and $153 when a high-risk employee’s health risks are lowered.

Call us today to discuss the care you or your loved one needs.

And then there are the benefits with regard to workplace culture and camaraderie.

Brad Flowers, a partner in the north Lexington marketing and branding agency Bullhorn Creative, says his company has a goal to create a culture where employees choose to live a healthier lifestyle rather than being forced to do so.

Christopher Durham, MD

“It has to be easy and it has to be practical,” he said. “Even if it’s just a group walk around the block, anything is good.”

For the past five years, Bullhorn has provided free bicycles to employees, many of whom ride or walk to work. Bullhorn employees also participate in occasional group yoga sessions and a weekly lunch ride on Fridays. Flowers said the initiatives not only work toward the company’s fitness and sustainability goals, they also provide a creative boost.

We specialize in the following services: • Bio-identical Hormone Replacement for men & women • Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention • Medical Weight Loss • Medical Aesthetics • Other alternative therapies for improving quality of life

“The research is clear that people think better when they are active,” Flowers said. “And ours is a business that relies on good ideas.”

Taking care of business Sayre School has made faculty health, relaxation and stress reduction a larger priority over the past academic year. “We have made a financial and time commitment to develop a mindfulness initiative for faculty focusing specifically on those issues,” said Barb Milosch, the school’s director of communications who works with school counselor Blythe Johnson to facilitate wellness programs.

Over the summer, Sayre faculty read the book “Mindfulness for Teachers” by Patricia A. Jennings, which offers strategies for managing the stressful demands of the classroom. Sayre also provides substitute teachers for faculty to attend several daylong mindfulness training sessions throughout the year, including group reading sessions, meditation, yoga practices and art activities.

“Our wellness program fulfills our mission of empowering members in the community to lead purposeful lives,” Milosch said.

BC Wood Properties, a regional shopping center development firm, has taken the idea of employee fitness one step further, and built a full onsite gym. Founder Brian Wood has a passion for fitness and wanted to help prioritize it for employees, he said.

“Exercise changes your mentality and the way you address problems,” Wood said.

“This is a great place for employees to take a break during the day and create more energy, and for team members to see one another in different environments and to support one another.”

Employees can participate in three weekly group-training sessions at no cost to them, and have access to the facilities whenever they would like, including on weekends. The training sessions, led by Todd Walbert, involve an ever-changing variety of strength and cardiovascular challenges.

“When I work through lunch, I get headaches and am less productive, but exercising is always a great midday break,” said leasing attorney Destiny Wenning.

Employees are grateful for the friendly competition, team building and accountability.

Several have said that it’s nearly impossible to skip a training session due to good-natured pressure from others. And those who have been training with Walbert on a regular basis report significant improvements in their energy and fitness levels.

“As a working mother of a 7-month-old, I don’t know how I would find time to work out if it weren’t for our in-house gym and trainer,” said marketing specialist Mallory Sikes. “Personal health is so important when juggling everything life throws your way, and I feel fortunate to work for someone like [Wood] who finds ways to improve the mental and physical health of his employees.”

Said Wood: “How can I ask our employees to take care of our customers if I’m not helping them to take care of their own health?”

A little healthy competition Some individuals find that healthy competition and personal challenges help motivate them to stick with their fitness goals. That’s the approach taken at mechanical and electrical engineering firm Shrout Tate Wilson.

The firm offers group fitness challenges each year, such as a program that encourages employees to log a certain number of steps each week.

“We had 100 percent participation companywide, and people got pretty competitive,” said human resources representative Julie Frazier.

The company has also participated in Wiffle ball and basketball tournaments, and last year, purchased a ping-pong table to offer employees a chance to get moving during workdays.

One of its clients, Nomi Design, challenged them to a tournament.

“They plastered our office with fliers and marched in wearing tracksuits and matching Nomi sweatbands,” said Tyler Wilson, principal with Shrout Tate Wilson. ‘They definitely got points for creativity, but, unfortunately, they were not as successful in the tournament.”

The firm has also hosted group rides at CycleBar, which offers complimentary group classes outside of its normal business hours through the company’s “Rock Your Office” private rides program. Carissa Hentosz, general manager at CycleBar Fritz Farm, said her location hosts about 20 private rides a month for businesses and organizations, including McGraw-Hill Construction and Big Ass Solutions, as well as for various departments at Baptist Health and the UK HealthCare.

“It’s important for businesses to get together and build community,” Hentosz said. “It’s much more that just a workout.” ss

SPRING FORWARD Blue Grass Trust’s annual Antiques and Garden Show invites attendees to summon springtime a few weeks early

F

BY KATHIE STAMPS AND SARAYA BREWER

or more than 60 years, the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation (BGT) has been tirelessly advocating for the protection and preservation of special historic buildings in the Lexington area – and next month the organization will celebrate another local tradition that’s rich with history, as it hosts the 33rd BGT Antiques and Garden Show.

collinsbowling.com/3freegames

March 2-4, BGT’s largest annual fundraising event will fill the Kentucky Horse Park’s Alltech Arena with mid-century modern and antique furniture; plants and flowers; jewelry and silver; fine art and rugs; and all manner of garden items, from over 80 national exhibitors. Originally held in Heritage Hall, the show eventually moved to Keeneland’s Entertainment Center and then to the Kentucky Horse Park in 2012, where it covers the venue’s entire concourse level and spreads through all of its exhibition halls.

Antique silver is just one of the treasures to be found among the 70 exhibitors featured in this year’s Antiques and Garden Show, which also features a wide selection of jewelry, antique and mid-century furniture, garden items and more.

Blue Grass Trust Antiques & Garden Show www.bluegrasstrust.org/events March 2-4, 2018 (plus a gala-style “preview event” on Thursday, March 1) Fri.-Sat.:10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Sun.:11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Highlights of the event include: • More than 70 exhibitors and vendors from across the country with antique and vintage-inspired furniture, home and garden accents, fine rugs, jewelry and more • Kentucky Treasures Exhibit featuring the National Quilt Museum: a pop-up exhibit from Paducah’s famed museum featuring exquisite handmade quilts from its collection (on display throughout the weekend) PHOTO FURNISHED

Lexington landscape designer Jon Carloftis (far left) and Dale Fisher (far right) are both heavily involved with the planning of the annual show.

“As other antiques and garden shows have closed down around the country, we have grown our show to be a regional show,” said Sheila Ferrell, executive director of Blue Grass Trust. “Every year we get people from Louisville, Cincinnati, Dayton, Knoxville, eastern Kentucky and our beloved and cherished Lexington audience.”

Hicks, an internationally renowned lifestyle expert, author and entrepreneur who will speak on the topic of “Living an Extraordinary Life.”

In fact, many seasoned attendees opt to purchase a “run of show” pass to the event, which allows entry over all three days – it can be hard to see it all in a single day.

“We show people real things: the highest of the high and also the ordinary, which is what people’s lives are,” he said, while describing the inventory he plans to have on hand at the show. “We try to get away from pretentious things and have real, beautiful wonderful things – lots of garden supplies and garden candles that are Kentucky-made and allorganic.”

And while the opportunity to shop for a unique selection of antique and vintage-inspired home and garden items is a primary highlight of the weekend, the multifaceted show features lots of other ways to engage and entertain its thousands of expected attendees. Among the new features this year is a series of “quickfire seminars” focusing on fun, general-interest topics – from container gardening to low-stress entertaining. Hosted by noted local landscape designer Jon Carloftis, those hourlong seminars will take place on Friday and Saturday afternoons, each consisting of five 10-minute sessions led by local experts from a variety of fields. On Friday, the event’s annual luncheon will feature keynote speaker India

12

Carloftis, whose landscape design company will also host a pop-up store at the show, says the event provides an opportunity to tap into the extraordinary and ordinary alike.

Ferrell assures that the show “will be filled with good-looking, good-smelling things to buy” in price points that range from affordable to high end.

While the popular event takes place in early March, according to Ellen Tunnell, a volunteer who serves on the event’s organizing committee, it signifies to many the annual gateway into the gardening season.

“It’s always an annual event people look forward to because it’s a harbinger of spring,” said Tunnell. ss

• Bringing the Outside In: vignettes of creative living spaces by local designer Jon Carlofits, focusing on ways to incorporate nature into your living space (on display throughout the weekend) • Designer Vignettes: interior design displays created by local designers Thomas Birkman, Benjamin Deaton and Matthew Carter geared to inspire attendees on ways to incorporate their gardens into their homes (on display throughout the weekend) • Quickfire Seminars and Cocktails: hourlong seminars consisting of five 10-minute talks led by local experts on a variety of fun, general-interest topics, including “Collecting Mid-Century Furniture, Art, Jewelry and Clothing” by Lucy Jones; “The Real Deal Things You Need for the Best Home Bar” by Marianne Barnes; “Low Stress Entertaining at the Drop of a Hat” by Ann Evans; “All Things Party” by Roger Lee Leasor and more (taking place Friday, March 2, and Saturday, March 3, at 4 p.m.)

• “Living an Extraordinary Life”: luncheon featuring lifestyle expert and entrepreneur India Hicks (Friday, March 2 at noon)

INDIA HICKS

• Shop the Show: an opportunity to visit booths with interior designers Joe Richardson and Carolyn Threlkeld from Hubbuch and Co., who will discuss how to incorporate items into your home (Saturday, March 3 at 9 a.m.)

• Complimentary daily lectures by experts including Benjamin Deaton, John and Jessamine Michler, Joseph Hillenmeyer and Diane Wachs • Food and drinks available for purchase throughout the event grounds throughout the weekend Note: While some lectures, exhibits and events are complimentary with the show’s regular admission, many require a reservation and a separate fee.

A BRIEF HISTORY

OF THE BLUE GRASS TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION

T

he roots of the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation stretch back to 1955, when a spirited group of Lexington citizens organized in an effort to save two historic Gratz Park properties from demolition: the John Hunt Wesley House and the Col. Thomas Hart House. While the Thomas Hart House ended up being razed that year to make way for a parking lot, the Hunt Morgan House – the 1814 house where famous scientist Thomas Hunt Morgan, one of the few Kentuckians to ever win a Nobel Prize, was born – was saved. Originally branded as the Foundation for the Preservation of Historic Lexington and Fayette County, the group soon became the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation.

A few years following the saving of the Hunt Morgan House and BGT’s official formation, Gratz Park became Lexington’s first official historic district (H-1 Overlay Zone), meaning that property owners within the district must obtain approval (permits) to make changes to the exterior of buildings and sites. Lexington now has 15 official “historic districts,” which help preserve the charm, character and history of some of its most beautiful areas. While BGT, a non-profit organization with four staff members and a dozen volunteer-run committees, isn’t officially affiliated with the city, it works alongside the city’s historic February BGT deTour: preservation office as the “citizen Lyric Theatre and advocacy” leg, advocating for the Cultural Arts Center preservation of special historic places within the Bluegrass.

Feb. 7, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Lyric Theatre and “Blue Grass Trust is why LexCultural Arts Center, ington looks the way it does,” 300 E. Third St. said Jon Carloftis, an active BGT member. “Everybody falls in love with Lexington.”

The annual Antiques and Garden Show is just one of the many ways the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation takes a high-energy, hands-on approach to honoring history in Lexington. The organization also organizes a free, popular monthly event called the BGT deTours, which allow attendees a chance to explore historic buildings, homes, neighborhoods or properties that they might not otherwise have the chance to see. Taking place on select Wednesday afternoons, the events are followed by informal social hours, allowing attendees the chance to mingle and meet new folks of various backgrounds. Properties that have been featured on the deTours in the past include the Old Fayette County Courthouse; Hampton Court, where several homeowners opened their properties for tours; and The Miller House, the marvel of contemporary residential architecture built by Jose Ourberie.

Started in 2011 and geared toward “young professionals and the young at heart,” Carloftis said that the deTours are just one way that the organization seeks to energize the Lexington community around the city’s history and the topic of historic preservation.

“They’ve got these amazing new people on the board who are business people, and they understand you have to change and keep it going,” he said. “We love tradition, but you always have to change it up. They make it fun.” ss

STORY BY SARAYA BREWER PHOTOS BY HATTIE QUIK

A

quick preliminary glance at Edward Melcarth’s “Points of View” – the survey of paintings, drawings and sculpture by the late Louisville-born artist currently on display at the University of Kentucky Art Museum – shows the work of a highly skilled artist employing relatively traditional techniques. Melcarth’s dramatic compositions conjure Renaissanceinspired storytelling traditions, some even featuring riffs on classic religious and mythological works.

Edward Melcarth’s “Junkie with Open Shirt” is among the works by the Louisvilleborn artist currently on display at the UK Art Museum IMAGE FURNISHED

CREATIVE TYPES DIRECTOR OF THE STUART EXECUTIVE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY HORODNER ART MUSEUM

A closer look at the exhibit, which touches on various appetites of desire and aggression, reveals deeper levels of complexity and intrigue. A candidly gay, self-described Communist artist working in New York City in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, Melcarth often focused on subjects from blue collar workers to junkies and hustlers, using techniques and styles gleaned from Old Masters. Many of his works feature subtle (or not-sosubtle) undertones of gay erotica. His interpretations of “The Rape of the Sabine Women” and “The Last Supper” resemble, respectively, a violent scene from “West Side Story” and a drunken brawl in a New York diner.

In short, the exhibit hits lots of marks of the museum’s evolved – and evolving – “diet,” as prescribed by executive director Stuart Horodner, who joined the staff in 2014. Straddling the juxtaposition between traditional and contemporary, it engages its audience on several different levels, inviting them to look beyond the surface and make deeper connections to both historic events and current issues.

It also champions the work of a contemporary, Kentucky-born artist – a tenet Horodner said he felt the museum had a very “modest relationship” with when he first came on board. Even though the Melcarth exhibit wasn’t originally part of the museum’s plans for this year, as soon as the work was made available, the museum “quickly made space for it,” Horodner said.

“This is a really crazy, masterful show that we’re happy to be the first museum to be showing,” he added.

Raised in New York City by art-loving parents, Horodner grew up surrounded by galleries and museums. He studied art at Cooper Union and at Rutgers University with the intention of becoming an artist himself, but early on, his career took him down the path of arts administration: managing galleries, writing about art and teaching. He owned his own gallery in New York City for a stint before going on to help manage galleries and art institutions in Portland, Oregon, western Pennsylvania and Atlanta, where he most recently served as artistic director for the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center.

Having spent the bulk of his career dealing primarily with contemporary artists, Horodner has been working to steadily increase the museum’s focus on contemporary works and relationships with living artists – but he also recognizes that maintaining a steady balance is key for the museum.

Louisvilleborn artist Edward Melcarth (1914-1973) utilized traditional techniques gleaned from old masters to portray scenes featuring blue collar workers and other characters encountered in his everyday life. A collection of his work is on display through April 8.

“I love contemporary – I live and breathe it – but on the same token, I grew up surrounded by museums and [I know] we need to run [the gamut] from the traditional to the radical,” he said.

“If we don’t show the traditional or help serve the traditional, we probably aren’t serving part of our mission. But we also want to be able to say, ‘there’s a lot of dynamic, more progressive, more mindshaking work that’s been made.’”

This careful look at the balance of what the museum offers – its “diet” – has been one of Horodner’s central focuses.

“That to me is really about the best challenge to what any museum is doing – what’s the diet of the offerings?” he said.

In many ways, Horodner has flipped the museum’s diet – its approaches, processes and offerings – on its head over the past three years. Changes under his leadership range from removing the museum’s admission fee to revamping its entire approach to presenting artworks. The transformation is all part of a larger effort to make the mu-

seum more usable and relevant to its potential audience – which Horodner identified early on was not using the museum in the ways he felt they could or should be.

invited him to come give a lecture at the University of Kentucky. Horodner recalls being entertained during that visit by art faculty members, who took him to several local art institutions.

As a university institution that also happens to function as Lexington’s primary art museum, it’s important that the museum target both the campus community and Lexington’s larger art community at the same time, he said.

Though he didn’t think much of it at the time, one art institution was notably missing from both the itinerary and the overall conversation.

“You have to have reason for both of those core groups of constituents to want to come and want to come actively,” he said. “Both of those communities were not coming nearly as actively as I thought they could.”

“I’m with all the UK art faculty, and nobody takes me to the museum. Nobody mentions the museum,” Horodner recalled. “For one reason or another, it was not engaging them. … At the end of the day, with few exceptions, the museum was not a tool for the advancement of them and their teaching at that time.”

Horodner’s first visit to Lexington, several years before the executive director position at the museum opened up, might be one of the most glaring examples of the disconnect he noted between the university’s museum and its art community. He was artistic director at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center at the time, when his friend, artist and UK faculty member Rae Goodwin,

When Goodwin sent Horodner a posting advertising a job opening a few years later, Horodner said he was attracted to the job for a couple different of reasons – he liked the small and intimate nature of the museum, which he felt lent itself to being able to work hands-on with a collaborative staff.

But he was also attracted to its potential for growth and positive change.

“That to me is really about the best challenge to what any museum is doing – what’s the diet of the offerings?”

STUART HORODNER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY ART MUSEUM

“I’ve never gone to work at a place, honestly, that was so spectacularly successful already that I had nothing to contribute,” he said. “I’ve tended to work at places that I think, ‘Wow, this has more potential’ …. mostly what it needs is a fresh vision and a lot of energy.”

From the beginning, Horodner’s vision has focused largely on identifying obstacles in the way of the museum’s rhythm and setting about to change them. Those obstacles, he noted, ranged from parking challenges and a relatively static approach to presenting works, to a lack of clear communication to the public about what the museum actually was.

“When you start tallying all of those obstacles, they can become collectively fairly formidable,” he said.

For decades prior to Horodner’s arrival, the museum’s approach to presenting works veered largely toward safe and traditional. Popular, high-quality traveling exhibits – exhibits that “it thought Lexington wanted to see” – were rotated several times a year, and the museum maintained a relatively unchanging display of 100 or so works from its permanent collection, which contains nearly 5,000 pieces that had rarely, if ever, been seen by the public.

Now, rather than primarily bringing in traveling collections that have originated elsewhere, the museum carefully curates most of its rotating exhibits, oftentimes introducing the debut presentation of a collection. And in perhaps one of the most noticeable changes among regular attendees, where the museum once maintained a largely static display of works from its permanent collection, those pieces are now rotated regularly. A handful of new

exhibits, organized thematically and featuring works from the permanent collection, are hung several times a year, typically in conjunction with the installation of a new rotating exhibit.

Works owned by the museum that are currently on display include a portrait of James Joyce by Andy Warhol and a screen print by Romare Bearden to a sketch by Marcel Duchamp, which is hung next to a work by beloved local artist Arturo Sandoval.

“When we change things, [we are] changing out so much of the permanent collection that quite often it feels like we

are rehanging the whole museum, three or four times a year,” said Horodner.

He admits the labor-intensive approach to changing out the walls “can feel a bit crazy” – and also admits that not every change he has imparted has been met without some pushback from some of the museum’s longtime patrons. Many, for example, miss being able to see “In the Pasture” – Julien Dupré’s famous 1883 depiction of a young girl in a field trying to tame a cow, which has become widely considered one of the museum’s signature pieces. (The painting is in storage to make way for other works.)

Resistance to the changes, however, has largely been overshadowed by positive response from the museum’s audience and staff members. Among the champions of the new energy Horodner has imparted to the museum is its curator Janie Welker, who has been with the museum for 13 years.

“I am finally getting to do the kind of work I love – putting together shows with work from outside as well as the collection,” Welker said. “So many people have told me how surprised and delighted they are to discover what a wide range of great works we have in the permanent collection.”

Dramatic shifts in audience metrics under Horodner’s leadership further reveal the positive reception of this new approach. According to a “Three Year Progress Report” released in 2017, overall museum attendance is up by 50 percent since 2014. Audience diversity has increased by 5 percent in that time, and tours from university classes and other community groups have gone up by more than 80 percent.

University of Kentucky Art Museum: Exhibits and Events The University of Kentucky Art Museum is located inside the Singletary Center for the Arts, 405 Rose St. Gallery hours: Tues.-Thurs.: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Fri., 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sat.-Sun, noon- 5 p.m. Closed Mondays and university holidays The following exhibits are on display through April 8, 2018 (except where noted): Edward Melcarth: Points of View. This survey of paintings, drawings and sculpture by Edward Melcarth allows a chance to assess and appreciate the Louisville-born artist (1914-1973), who left Kentucky to pursue his personal interests and career. Working in the heyday of abstract expressionism and, later, pop art, Melcarth maintained a commitment to figurative imagery and techniques gleaned from the Old Masters.

This exhibit looks at Melcarth’s subject matter and his exploration of masculinity, religion, portraiture, drug use and the American “scene.”

Looking at Men. This presentation of works from the museum’s permanent collection examines how artists including Van Deren Coke, David Hilliard, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and others have pictured men from varied social, economic and cultural backgrounds at different points in time. As the behavior of prominent male figures in public positions undergoes strong scrutiny in this country, this look at images featuring a variety of masculine identities – fathers, sons, laborers, soldiers, artists and athletes – offers an opportunity to appreciate differences and common ground.

Modern Women. This exhibition featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection examines how women were perceived and represented from the early 1900s to the mid-1930s. The exhibit features works from Berenice Abbott, Eugene Atget, Edward Fisk, Marie Laurencin, Jaques Villon and others.

Established in 1976, the University of Kentucky Art Museum is located inside the Singletary Center on the corner of Rose Street and Euclid Avenue.

“We are so much more a part of the university now,” said Welker, adding that engaging students and professors and connecting with them intellectually are some of the most exciting facets of working in a university museum.

It’s fitting then that making connections is one of Horodner’s primary interests.

“The thing I’m probably most interested in, if I had to boil it down, is artistic legacies, connections between the past and the present,” he said, adding that, “you don’t get that if you only work in the contemporary realm.”

According to Welker, making connections is also one of Horodner’s strong points.

“My favorite nickname for Stuart is Sparky. Of course, I’m being a bit flippant, but it’s also a quite serious tribute – there is nothing he likes better than sparking ideas and connections,” she said. “His mind never ceases to amaze me. But don’t tell him I said that.” ss Visit this article online to check out a new short documentary about the University of Kentucky Art Museum, created in collaboration among the museum, VisitLex and Cornett.

Water Ways. Water is associated with epic journeys in literature and life, from “The Odyssey” to an immigrant’s arrival in a new world. The element of water is essential to life, in both symbolic and literal ways, and artists have long been lured by its song. The exhibit of works from the museum’s collection offers the opportunity to examine water in the context of travel, work, leisure and other themes, through diverse works by artists who include Romare Bearden, Emil Furst, Louis-Gabriel-Eugene Isabey, Shoda Koho, James McNeill Whistler and others.

RECIPE AND PHOTO

BY THERESA STANLEY

Ingredients:

WINTER CITRUS SALAD February can be one of those months where we most long for the warmth of summer. One way to remedy this is by exploring the bounty of brightly colored varieties of citrus available at your favorite local market. Tart and tangy on their own, citrus fruit combined with a homemade olive oil-based vinaigrette makes for a surprising, flavorful salad of the leafless variety.

A visually stunning dish, the recipe is also refreshing, healthy and quick to prepare. We’ve provided a suggested combination of citrus varieties, but the magic of this recipe is that you can use what you have available. Serves four people.

• 1 Cara Cara orange, peeled • 1 blood orange, peeled • 1 navel orange, peeled • 1 pink grapefruit, peeled • 1 shallot, sliced thin • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, separated • 1/2 teaspoon honey • 1/2 teaspoon fresh tarragon, chopped • Lime, small squeeze to taste • Tarragon leaves for garnish • Salt to taste (just a pinch)

Method: In small bowl combine shallots and one tablespoon of vinegar.

(Depending on the size of the shallots, the vinegar should cover them; add more vinegar if needed.) Marinate the shallots while cutting your citrus.

Peel citrus, removing pith.

Slice into wheels or peel apart into wedges, removing seeds as you go. Arrange citrus on a serving dish and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Drain shallots and layer on top of citrus.

Combine olive oil, remaining vinegar, honey, a squeeze of lime and chopped tarragon.

Whisk ingredients. Drizzle over citrus salad and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. ss

THEATRE & PERFORMANCE Lexington Chamber Orchestra: “Four Seasons.” Feb. 3-4.

This family-friendly concert features Bach’s “Art of Fugue,” Mahler’s “Adagietto from Symphony No. 5” and Piazzolla’s “Four Seasons,” with Kyung Sun Lee on violin. Shows take place 7:30 p.m. Sat. at Tates Creek Presbyterian Church, 3900 Rapid Run Drive and 3 p.m. Sun. at the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center, 300 East 3rd St. www.lexingtonchamberorchestra.com AthensWest: “Equivocation.” Feb. 9-11, 16-17. This fascinatingly comic drama is funny, touching and troubling – and absolutely Shakespearean in its scope and wit. When the main character is commanded to write a play about the recently foiled “Gunpowder Plot” to blow up parliament, he agrees – but only if he can interview the condemned suspects. He quickly learns the plot to be deeper than anyone suspected, with secrets that threaten to destroy him, his players and all of England. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Fri. and Sat.; 2 p.m. Sun. Downtown Arts Center, 141 E. Main St. www.lexarts.org (859) 425-2550 www.athenswest.net UK Theatre Department: “Henry V.” Feb. 15-17, 22-25.

Young Henry ascends the throne and proves his worth as king through an ambitious invasion of France. Is he a self-absorbed 20-something arguing with his father? Is he a shrewd negotiator of foreign and domestic affairs for the people of England? Shakespeare’s masterpiece depicts the horrors of war and the growing pains of a young royal. 7:30 p.m. showtimes (except for Feb. 25, which takes place at 2 p.m.).

Lexington Old-Time Music Gathering. Feb. 8-11. After a two-year hiatus following its inaugural Lexington event in 2015, this four-day multi-venue celebration of old-time and traditional music returns to town with a jam-packed weekend of events, including old masters of traditional mountain music, dance callers from throughout the state, performances by accomplished and emerging string bands, youth workshops and performances, academic presentations, jamming for all skill levels, workshops, literary readings, instrument and art vendors and farm-to-table eating experiences. The festival kicks off Thursday night with a square dance at The Burl hosted by the Local Honeys and continues throughout the weekend at various venues, including Al’s Bar, ArtsPlace and Willie’s Locally Known and more. More details available at www.kyoldtime.org/festivals.

Bulls, Bands and Barrels. Feb. 10. This touring rodeo production features bull riding, barrel racing and country music, with Kentucky favorite Tyler Childers and Nashville’s Muscadine Bloodline providing tunes for the Lexington event. Bull riding is considered a standard rodeo event for a variety of organizations. The event developed strictly as a contest, as opposed to other standard rodeo events that evolved out of the necessary skills of a working cowboy. Bull riding makes up part of the rodeo’s rough stock events. Barrel racing is one of the fastest and most unique events in the rodeo world. While cowboys ride spinning bulls, cowgirls charge through the gate in a race against the clock. 7 p.m., Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park, 4089 Iron Works Pkwy. www.bullsbandsandbarrels.com Winter Wizarding Waltz.

It will also feature Horizont Alley, a market straight out of the pages of Harry Potter, with Kentucky artisans and their handcrafted wares.
