EDITOR’S LETTER

Art Makes a City

T

here is an undeniable arts renaissance happening around us. I was fortunate to stand in the periphery for our feature photo shoot that included three of Louisville’s most dynamic creatives in the NuLu home of Teddy Abrams – a home that he carefully planned with the purpose of gathering musicians for collaboration and artist salons. The innovative energy was palpable among the much celebrated trio, and Kristie Hicks details in The Advent of the Arts why we are so lucky to have them creating in our midst.

In this issue Holly Houston writes about the communal economy that results when artists utilize their collaborative power. The Kentucky Rural-Urban Exchange, a partnership between Art of the Rural and Appalshop, makes the case for community-based arts as a driving force in local economic development. Also making that case is guest columnist and Public Art Administrator, Sarah Lindgren, who

shares how public art creates dialog between us and enriches our shared experience of public spaces.

Some argue that patronage of the arts in our city is an aging and perhaps even dying practice. with the incredible talent that Louisville has been able to attract to our arts scene this year, I can’t believe that to be true. I encourage all of our readers to consider adding a season subscription or membership to an arts organization to your repertoire of entertainment this year. If art makes a city, and I believe that it does, we must secure the future of what makes this one so great.

Our New Faces of Philanthropy alumni selection committee was tasked with choosing five fresh honorees among a pool of most capable and worthy nominees.

Join me on October 29 at The University Club to salute these deserving individuals and the nonprofits they represent and look for their full stories next month!

KSA Gala Flight Night

A

n expansive white tent greeted attendees of the KSA Gala, with tables decked in vibrant fall colors and works of art inspired by the wondrous birds of James Audubon. Moving throughout the gallery, the exhibit Armatures of Audubon and artwork by KSA students set the tone for a beautiful night as guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and caught up after a summer abroad, all while enjoying music by the McLain Family Band.

Participating student Edward Taylor said, “For myself, the gala was a great way to express how KSA really gets their students’ art out there to be seen. The gala being one of many ways allowed me to show off my own art which was the series ‘Paper Dresses,’ a sculptural installation I did in class. Selling two of the three dresses and also a commission opportunity to make another really grasped the attention of those at the gala. It was my first sale ever for a piece and boosted my confidence as an artist. Helping with the gala is something I look forward to each year. I enjoy seeing it getting better as more attendance grows.”

Guests moved from the gallery to the tent, where a feast by Wiltshire Pantry awaited, and the festivities continued into the evening. Owsley Brown III said, “The Kentucky School of Art at Spalding University is a strong and ambitious BFA program that is developing the great talent in our state, as well as attracting world class students to Louisville. The results of student-faculty collaborations have been stellar, confirming that KY can cultivate and nurture its own creative class. We are grateful for your support as we grow this unique institution that will enrich not only the lives of our students, but also infuse diversity of thought and great potential into our community.”

With almost 300 guests in attendance, this year’s KSA Gala was able to raise over $83,500 shared host committee chair Suzanne Whayne. “How amazing is that?” For more information on KSA’s offerings visit kentuckyschoolofart.org

10th Annual Pink Tie Ball Fairways for Cures

Gladys Barclay, Valerie Combs

G

uests of the 10th annual Pink Tie Ball walked the pink carpet at the Marriott Louisville East on September 13 after their cars were whisked away by Ready Valet, and were greeted by Ashley Breeze at the end of the fairway, who offered ice-cold Grey Goose and Bacardi cocktails including the Long Drive and The Caddie. Cocktail hour featured a special Four Roses Bourbon Bar, which paired bourbon and chocolate for a wonderful treat as attendees perused the silent auction and enjoyed live music before taking their seats for dinner.

Inspired by the PGA, and planned in conjunction with J Wagner Group, the ballroom was transformed with golf themed table décor, including golf clubs - in place of last year’s Louisville Slugger – creating a sophisticated and sporty atmosphere.

Following dinner, the live auction and survivor celebration, guests were joined by PINK Lounge attendees and danced the night away in support of Susan G. Komen Louisville. PINK Lounge chairs Ed Thomas and Josh Laughlin said, “Thanks to all of our friends and the great Pink Tie team for helping to make the evening a great success this year!”

The Pink Tie Ball and Lounge raised over $200,000 for Komen Louisville this year, thanks in part to the sponsorship by professional golfer J.B. Holmes, and his wife Erica, in honor of J.B.’s aunt Jane Tucker. These funds will help Komen Louisville to continue bettering the lives of those facing breast cancer in 15 counties throughout Kentucky and Indiana including Jefferson, Shelby and Floyd. To learn more about Komen Louisville and about ways to get involved visit komenlouisville.org..

Dancing in the Street A Motown Benefit to Beat Hunger

Y

um! Brands gets it right every time. Not only do they know how to throw some of the most inventive parties, but they manage to consistently raise an incredible amount of funding for World Hunger Relief in the process. This year they hit all the right notes as guests joined Wendy and David Novak for some “Dancing in the Streets” at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage. As promised, there was lots of swingin’, swayin’ and records playin’, but there were also records raised for fundraising.

With Master of Ceremonies, Terry Meiners, on the mic, partiers dressed as everything from Diana Ross and the Supremes to The Temptations to celebrate the Motown glory days of the 60s and 70s and raised their records high to signify a bid for United Nations World Food Programme and the Dare to Care Food Bank. According to Laura Melillo Barnum, Executive Director of Yum! Brands Foundation, “Thanks to our generous community, we raised enough funds to provide almost 2.9 million meals to feed starving people and save lives.”

The sequin clad and well-coiffed crew shimmied to the Motown sounds of The Jakarta Band from Denver Colorado whose old school funk was “off the charts” according to one enthusiastic guest. If dancing to the hits wasn’t enough, a highlight of the evening included a recording booth where confident crooners could belt their own soul or pop sounds and secure a copy of their chart topping creation.

Yum! Brands has raised and donated $185 million resulting in 740 million meals to hungry children in more than 45 countries. The company’s employees, franchisees and their families volunteer their time to help the hungry in local communities worldwide moving millions of people “from hunger to hope.”

The Advent of The heralded arrival of three tremendous talents to the city make this arts season feel like the dawn of a new day in Louisville.

Kristie Hicks interviews the new Music Director and Conductor for The Louisville Orchestra, Teddy Abrams; the new Artistic Director for The Louisville Ballet, Robert Curran; and the founder of IDEAS 40203, Theo Edmonds, to find out why Louisville is experiencing its own cultural renaissance, and to explain why now more than ever, an investment in the arts is an investment in our city with the most pleasing rate of return.

Robert Curran Ar tis tic Direc t or of T he Louis vi lle Ballet

Robert Curran’s grandparents met and fell in love on the dance floor. His mother enrolled him in ballroom dance classes, but it was ballet that grabbed ahold of him and was a force that he could not resist. And I am thrilled he didn’t put up a fight.

Devoting 16 years to the Australian Ballet (10 years as a Principal), it’s no surprise that dancer/choreographer/director Robert Curran would be chosen as the new Artistic Director for The Louisville Ballet.

Although softly spoken, he brings with him a degree of passion and authority in his craft that is a rare find.

He says, “I do believe it takes something special to be a dancer, to be a creative person. It’s a bravery, an intelligence, a force that pushes or pulls you to do the work that you do.” Admittedly his own worst critic, “In the harshest possible way…I am constantly wondering what I could have done better, if there were other risks I should have taken.”

When asked if he is a perfectionist, he says, “There is no perfection. There is no perfect art, no perfect dancer, no perfect visual artist or musician.” He continues, “It is the lack of perfection that is most beautiful.” That is what makes each artist unique.

His mission in life is “…to create a profound belief that ballet is a contemporary art form.” He continues, “Ballet dancers and the technique they use to display their art have the ability to inspire, shock, and move today’s art lovers.”

The part of his career that he enjoyed the most was his ability to be a generous and powerful partner. “Nothing gave me more joy than launching a ballerina into the air, knowing that she trusts you 150%, knowing that you are facilitating her performance to a degree that she could never do on her own, and altruistically knowing it would take the performance as a whole to another level.” It’s what he misses most about his career as a dancer, but perhaps the city of Louisville is his true Prima Ballerina.

The season was planned prior to his assignment at the helm, but the Director’s Choice program will close the season in April 2015 with an as yet undetermined work. There are so many existing works that he would like to bring to Louisville, but his vision reaches beyond that and is far more reciprocal in nature.

“I want to be instrumental in facilitating the creation of brand new work; work that is incubated here, developed here, produced here, and promoted from Louisville that we can take to the world.

Right now is the time to join the journey…because things are changing…Across the board there is a really exciting period of change about to happen (in Louisville). I would encourage people to open their minds, their hearts, and their wallets in supporting that change.” He is completely impassioned, “Now is the time to put Louisville on the global map in the arts community.” If anyone can accomplish this, Robert Curran can.

Theo Edmonds IDEAS 40203 (International Dialogue and Engagement Art Space + Zip Code) is a 501(c)(6) contemporary art “chamber of commerce” and the brainchild of Theo Edmonds. Leaders and Creators don’t always speak the same language. Edmonds is a virtual Rosetta Stone for both entities. His background in corporate strategy and his contributions as an artist himself make him highly qualified to broker such discussions. And Louisville reaps the rewards.

What inspires him is “the chase of the idea.” He explains, “When you look at something and identify a crack in the system, there’s your opportunity.” In dealing with daily business frustrations, “My objective is to be like water. If you encounter a rock, you move around it and you keep going.”

He is most proud of the accomplishment that hasn’t been reached yet. Always striving for more, Edmonds is working on prototype projects that would utilize artists as change agents within corporate America and as job creators in communities like Smoketown. “Artists are innovators by nature. Our role as cultural producers has given us powerful insights into how to reframe questions and identify opportunities where others only see problems.

Artists are fantastic at synthesizing – combining things to make something new. This is a valuable skill set with many applications.”

Why Louisville? It’s completely personal for Edmonds. His grandparents met and married in Louisville, he grew up in eastern Kentucky, went to school in central Kentucky, and Louisville is now home for him. “It’s a Kentucky story for me.” And for many years of his life he felt that growing up in Kentucky made him “not as good as” someone from New York City for example. “I’ve overcome that false belief. Kentucky made me a strong, resourceful, creative and caring man. My motivations are to help others see the great advantage it actually is in life.” He has certainly stirred something in me.

He further explains, “Louisville is expanding what art and artists are capable of doing right now. Mayor Fisher has set a real tone with the Compassionate Cities Charter, the City of Life Long Learning… all of these are part of the artists’ daily trade. The fact that they are being discussed at the top level of the city… makes Louisville spot-on.”

The National Endowment for the Arts and ArtPlace America’s investment ($300,000 collectively in 2014) gives serious legitimacy to IDEAS 40203’s work. The coming year will bring about quantifiable data that demonstrates how artists can support corporations and communities in brand new ways.

Bringing fresh thinking to the business world, Community and Corporation…Artistic Process and Corporate Strategy, Edmonds is a virtual matchmaker for relationships that benefit the city as a whole; aligning corporate strategy and community need.

On his creative bucket list? “To make Louisville a prototype lab that other cities would like to replicate,” he states. “That would be THE bucket list.” IDEAS (insert zip code here) could very well be coming to another city near your friends all across the country.

Teddy Abrams Music Direc t or / C on duc t or of the Louis vi lle O r che str a

There are born leaders and Teddy Abrams is one of them. The depth of sincerity and quality of conviction of the Derby City’s newly appointed Music Director and Conductor of the The Louisville Symphony Orchestra is simply impossible to ignore.

“This is not about me. You have to remember that this is a privilege…to be a creative person. You’re not really providing a necessary service for the world. You’re providing something that makes life richer…but you’re not providing food or clothing.” He continues, “With that kind of responsibility you have to recognize that you will ultimately have to serve people who enable you to do what you love. With that comes the understanding that what you’re doing has a much greater purpose.”

He has a definite purpose and takes none of his vast professional experience for granted.

“You don’t know where this stuff comes from. Creativity is not something that you can expect. It’s something that just flows through you and you hope to have access to it. It’s like seeing something in the dark in a storm. There are flashes of lightening, everything is briefly illuminated, and you try to grasp onto that vision… that’s creativity for me.”

Why Louisville? “It was hardly a question in my mind that this is where I wanted to be.” He compares conducting an orchestra to coaching a major sports team. Those jobs are few and coveted.

“Louisville is in a period of great transformation and that’s what an arts organization requires. That’s what makes growth possible.”

Abrams will spend his first year experiencing the natural flow of the orchestra and laying the groundwork for future plans. “The thing I enjoy most about being a conductor is the social impact and the social implications of what we’re doing.

The individual experience of performance pales in comparison to the process of creating an organization that has a real impact. My responsibility right now is to the community, to this city. The whole point of a Music Director is to affect change in a positive way. That’s a huge responsibility.”

His primary focus is to bring classical music to an audience that may have otherwise missed it altogether. “The whole idea that classical music is discreet and separated from popular music is dangerous in and of itself; that classical music is elite and not for everybody…my entire mission in life is to change that attitude.”

Whether by season tickets or the good fortune of witnessing one of his “Random Acts of Culture” (a free concert in the park or the open windows of his loft during an Artist-in-Residence jam session), you’ll be the beneficiary of his vision.

He states, “Music belongs to everybody. Music does not belong to the few.”

After spending the morning with Abrams, watching him play the piano with child-like fervor and conduct with laser-focused ferocity, I can tell you that the musical future of the city of Louisville rests in some very capable hands.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week A Conversation with Todd Harrison Calvert about Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear

W

e have come to rely on Todd Calvert, Buyer at Glasscock Boutique, to set us straight on what to expect for the upcoming fashion season based on his break neck fashion week in New York. Somehow clicking through the stills and watching video stream from the computer of my home office doesn’t have the same glamorous feeling as his often front row accounts where he has the perfect vantage point for detail. Then of course, there are the parties which cannot be enjoyed remotely. Give us the goods, Todd. And don’t leave out a single bead, hemline, cocktail or rafia ribbon!

whole, the colors for men will be a bit more earthy, but within the same cool family. Monochromatic whites and ivories will play an important role in wardrobing going forward. Portraying a fresh and modern vibe, the collections were never cold in appearance.

and evening items, while many skirts were not only bias cut but also asymmetrical, often resembling an origami creation. Full and A-Line skirts are still gaining momentum, and with it the return of the heavily toile layered ball gowns.

Many speculate that there is really nothing new in fashion; we are just systematically reinventing old trends. What do you think really sets this season apart from previous ones?

What were your favorite collections and designers?

With the use of new fabrications, many designers ditched the traditional chiffon in favor of materials that appeared

You see over 40 runway shows each season and visit hundreds of designer show rooms. Summarizing them all, is there one cohesive theme for the new styles that we will be wearing in the Spring of 2015?

The next season could easily be labeled “Flora-couture” with the heavy emphasis on floral patterns that I saw on the runway. Every major collection had a great deal of Audrey Hepburn along with early Dior and 50s Givenchy. Luxe, ingenious fabrications ruled the runways, particularly with designers Ralph Rucci, Georgine, Carolina Herrera and Zac Posen. Scuba, mesh, organza and double-face crêpes will be seen in most collections.

Trims ranged from beads to pallets with an emphasis on crystals. Christian Siriano chose a cool color pallet and used crystals to adorn his masterful creations. One twist that I saw this season was the use of lacquered feathers or rafia used as trim. For all of the ladies that held onto their classic Chanel suits from the 80s, it may be time to pull them back out again. Designers from Tom Ford to Carolina Herrera, Siriano to Bibhu Mohapatra all heavily lined their collections with the jacket and skirt/dress combo for both day and evening.

I find the inventive naming of colors each season to be most entertaining. What are the colors of the season and, by all means, what should we call them?

Icy colors dominated the runways this season continuing a theme that began for Fall 2014. Aquamarine, Scuba Blue, Lucite Green, Strawberry Ice, Tangerine, Custard and Toasted Almond were seen in all collections, and a Classic Blue (not Royal) and Glacier Gray (with purple tones) will be popular for both women and men. As a

to float down the runways. Collars and lapels will gain importance next season, with every designer showing a variation of the French collar, and many lapels standing away from the body, adding depth to the design. A new twist this season was the return of the halter top and many open back blouses and gowns. For evening, every major designer continued the trend of including at least one opera coat over evening gowns. Often made from lace or beaded mesh, these to-the-floor coats and capes are sure to set the tone for any glitzy ball.

Are there any styles from last season to which we can hang on or is this a complete overhaul season?

Lace will continue to dominate the wardrobe, although this season a larger pattern was shown alongside many geo-mesh fabrications. Embroidery of every type was featured in most collections, with Herrera even using foam cut-outs to adorn some of her jackets and gowns.

Floral beading will be an important part of both daytime

My personal favorites will always be Christian Siriano and Carolina Herrera because they both consistently go beyond my expectations. Naeem Khan is always the most glittering runway show of the season with his masterful use of beading and embroidery work. Ralph Rucci and Zac Posen push the boundaries with inspired fabric combinations and detail, both inside and out, and the tailoring at Jason Wu is always amazing and fresh.

Georges Chakra usually has my favorite evening collection, but I have to say that after two seasons of watching emerging designer Georgine, a beautiful young lady, I am a bonafide fan. I was blown away with her newest collection. Georgine masterfully overcame the age barrier and her collection is appropriate for any age, any size.

I hang on to your every social media check-in and photo op while you are in New York. My favorite was your photo with Coco Rocha at the Siriano after party, but also really enjoyed your tribute to Joan Rivers when you shared a photo of some time you got to spend with her during a previous season. What were some of your favorite moments?

Well, I have to say that I really enjoyed our hotel this season. We found this wonderful gem of a boutique hotel on 55th on the Upper East Side, The Westhouse. The rooms and service are superb! Many fashion insiders stayed there this season and we enjoyed the views from the terrace bar until late at night. I also enjoyed Ricardo Seco and Christian Siriano’s glittering after parties. Ricardo held his swank affair around a pool on the 42nd floor of 7 World Trade Center with Manhattan at our feet, while Christian’s was so star-studded that it was hard to take it all in. However, I still get goose bumps when the lights come up on the runways and that first dress makes its way down. There is nothing like it, so that will remain my favorite part of Fashion Week.

CHAT WITH THE CHAIR

LouAnn Atlas Boo La La Halloween Ball

>> the event

Boo La La Halloween Ball For: Olmsted Parks Conservancy When: Sat., Oct. 25, 6 p.m.

Where: Louisville Marriott Downtown Tariff: Ball $250, Bash $75 Info: olmstedparks.org/boolala/

>> the look

A

s Vice President of Charitable Management Services at Fifth Third Bank, LouAnn Atlas is intimately aware of the many philanthropic opportunities in Louisville; but as a board member of the Olmstead Parks Conservancy for nine years and the board chair for three of those years, she also knows that one of the most fabulous and fun ways to give back to our city is through the annual Boo La La Halloween Ball.

What can guests expect at this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-themed event?

Guests can expect what they have come to expect each year – the best Halloween costume party in the city with some of the most creative costumes you’ve ever seen! There will be our Live Auction, new this year, along with our Pledge for the Parks. Great food and our specialty cocktail, “Jekyll & Hyde” created especially for us, by Brown-Forman Corporation and dancing to the sounds of Burning Las Vegas.

The attire calls for anything ghoulish or glamorous. Do you have a favorite costume memory from this event?

My husband, Ryan, dressed as Harry Potter one year – and he was a perfect likeness! Some tables develop their own themes which are unbelievable! But, last year, I have to say, my favorite was Frederick Law Olmsted, himself!

How did this event start?

Boo La La Halloween Ball began as a way to raise funds to keep the much loved Frederick Law Olmsted Parks extraordinary. Louisville is fortunate to have these beautiful parks and parkways, but it takes hard work, funding and community interest to preserve this resource.

You mentioned that new to this year is a live auction component. Do you have any tips on what items or packages will be available for bid?

This is your largest fundraiser to raise critical funds to support the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks. What are some priorities for park funding?

Our committee has been working creatively to make the Live Auction packages unique experiences. One package I can share with you is the opportunity to bid on your own grove of 20 to 25 trees to be planted in one of the beautiful Olmsted parks. The grove of trees can be dedicated in ceremony to honor an individual, family or business.

We have numerous priorities as you can imagine. Today, we are working to enhance the Northern Overlook in Iroquois Park, to restore the limestone wall at Boone Square and to implement the Master Plan at the Hogan Fountain Area in Cherokee Park, to name a few.

What generous sponsors will make this event an unforgettable night?

We are fortunate to have many generous sponsors for whom we are so appreciative. Special thanks go to Betty and David Jones. Without their vision and commitment to all Louisville parks we wouldn’t be able to do what we do! We are most grateful to Brown-Forman Corporation, PharMerica Corporation and Power Creative.

who haven’t tried this signature dish, the pecan salad comes topped with a scoop of blue cheese ice cream and pear-praline vinaigrette. In addition to the consistent items La Coop will offer throughout the week, they also have nightly specials including New Orleans barbeque shrimp on Tuesday and a different burger each Thursday.

“I want to offer a menu that people crave when they’re not here,” Benjamin said. “Maybe you’re at home watching a UofL game and at the same time you’re thinking, ‘I really want to go to La Coop. Why can’t I have it at my house right now?’ People don’t necessarily think of getting our food to-go, but we can even set up party platters where you can build your own pork belly tacos or burgers. And we really push special requests.”

Benjamin moved from Nashville to Louisville to become the Executive Chef at The Oakroom in 2009, which instilled a standard for pleasing guests because in a AAA Five Diamond restaurant, “you can’t say no,” he explained. “I like that attitude.

You should do everything you can to accommodate your guests.”

From the lighter pan roasted salmon on shaved kale to the delectable bone-in pork chop, La Coop’s new menu is one you’ll crave for days once you’ve had a taste. To view the entire new menu visit coopbistro.com JOSH MILLER

or Chef Bobby Benjamin, this has been a year of change.

The birth of his daughterCopeland Pearl, a new restaurant in Nashville – Union Common, a new chef de cuisine at La Coop – Tina Dyer ( formerly of Seviche), and now – a new menu at La Coop. The revamped menu still presents French inspired cuisine with a southern flair that focuses on fresh, organic options, but offers a variety of lighter dishes and sharable starters to appeal to a broader palate.

Talk to Chef Benjamin once about food, and you immediately grasp his passion for offering a delicious, top-notch experience for his guests.

When it comes to the new menu, he explained, “We still want to offer the crave French food that people want, like the escargot and the cassoulet, but we wanted to add some new and updated dishes to the menu this fall.

The coq au vin is now coq au blanc, so we’re doing a white version of coq au vin with organic vegetables, mushrooms and braised pearl onions in a white artichoke broth. We’re also offering a bone-in pork chop with sweet potato puree and apple and walnut compote.”

“Our most popular dish is the pecan salad,” said Benjamin. “We’ve been open 614 days, and have sold over 5000 pecan salads.” For those of you

KENTUCKY AGENTS!

ever has it been more evident that we are a city of people striving to make a difference. Collaborations in art and design and community and nonprofit ventures are creating a new communal economy, with social entrepreneurism as its core. Some of us figured out how to get paid, do good work and be happy. Hence, a new formula: Ingenuity + an Inside Line = Problem Solved.

In a recent editorial, IdeaFestival founder Kris Kimmel described the event as a “super-collider” of break away thoughts and strategies for innovation on every scale without the slightest hint of hyperbole. In its 15th year, IdeaFestival understands shaking things up is vital to our survival and that ultimately, we rely on each other for implementation.

To wit: WHAS11 organized a forum in September at St. Stephens church seeking solutions to violence following

ing to Suzanne Bergmeister, entrepreneur in residence at UofL business school. While she isn’t sure it will ever be mainstream, she said “the trend I’m seeing is people gravitating to social entrepreneurism versus flat out capitalism. People who are willing to take less in order to change [the world] are proving that on a daily basis.”

Enter The Urban Rural Exchange, a group of 36 people matched in 18 cohort pairs from Louisville and Appalachia to identify areas of common interests, ideas and practices of the respective communities. “I think they’re going to be able to create a new economy,” said Judi Jennings, the tireless former Director of the Kentucky Foundation for Women, about the young people she met at the eastern

“This state is ours…I know something good is going to come out of it.” a drive by shooting of a 16 month old on her porch in west Louisville. While the panel assembled was impressive, the “experts” barely had a chance to speak as resident after resident said sure, more police patrols will help, but we need to fix this from the inside out. Sometimes you really do have to be there.

A few blocks up and north, the Resurfaced Pop Up space Patrick Piuma and his compadres created on 7th Street is another example of how skill and an inside line can fill a void in a way outsiders can’t. Piuma et al transformed an empty lot into an urban oasis to facilitate music, movies, beer, food and social intercourse. $300 million couldn’t do it, but, some urban planners on a budget did.

Collaboration for profit and social good isn’t a new trend, at least accord-

Kentucky iteration of the Exchange this summer.

The characters that comprise the cohorts are a testament to the potential for a new sort of communal economy. The longevity of Weeds of Eden owner, Myron Hardesty, perhaps the first and only herbalist on Bardstown Road in the 90s and Nathan Salzburg, curator for Alan Lomax archive, are cases in point.

As is Nick Covault, 28, a founder of PosSOUPbility, a nonprofit that hosts soup suppers and donates funds raised to the best new idea. Covault said he thinks one of the goals of the Exchange is to provide sort of a back story for each place. “[We] can’t just connect to neighborhood of xyz tomorrow without knowing their history and heritage and where they go when not at work,” Covault said. “I’m very encouraged by being connected to these people, the way that we’re engaging. This state is ours…I know something good is going to come out of it.”

CORPORATE SPOTLIGHT

PHOTO BY KERTIS CREATIVE

Kertis Creative

K

ertis Creative’s trailer documenting the Dirt Bowl in Shawnee Park immediately evokes interest from viewers, who become enthralled in the way the fierce beat of the drums plays off the raw intensity of the players and the animated movements of dancers, making you want to know the story behind the annual basketball tournament. This is how stories should be told – and this is how Kertis Creative shares the stories, passion and mission of its clients.

Founded in 2008 in Nashville, TN, Kertis Creative moved to Louisville in 2009, and has been helping to tell the stories of organizations ever since.

Founder Stephen Kertis said that, “Whether we’re talking about our lives over dinner with friends, watching films, reading, or looking at art, we’re really surrounded by stories all the time – our work every day is just an extension of that.” When it came time to expand, Kertis Creative moved from Butchertown to NuLu, and finally to Smoketown in 2012. “Our first Louisville client was the Presbyterian Community Center. It never left our minds how welcoming Smoketown was in those early days.”

Stephen has been helping to tell the stories of organizations for over 15 years, “It has been the most diverse and rewarding work I could have imagined,” he said. “We try to reflect each client’s authentic experience and share their narratives through our brand and culture work. That means we get to intimately know each client - and that usually transforms our relationships with the people we work with from clients to partners.” He went on to explain that, “A fundamental part of working and living in a community is supporting that community. We carve out time every day to work with clients that might

not otherwise be a traditional partner.

Yearly, we try to work on about a dozen pro bono projects.”

“Every story has its own unique appeal and each project its own rewards,” shared Stephen. “I know this month it has been exciting working with Brown-Forman, The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation and The Louisville Orchestra. We just kicked off a project with WealthWorks (a Ford Foundation initiative) that will take us all throughout the South, and we are thrilled about it. Letting people know the “why” of ANY organization has vast and often unseen benefits. Sharing an organization’s culture stimulates opportunities for fundraising and clarifies their vision for potential clients. It makes their mission distinctive and accessible. It helps sell their product - even if their product is ‘social justice.’”

“Everyone at Kertis Creative believes that beauty and entertainment are crucial for delivering information. Just like for-profit companies, nonprofit organizations are vying for finite resources.

Those organizations that are better at communicating their story will get more of those often-dwindling community resources. And distilling their objectives through stories can establish an advantage in the nonprofit marketplace.”

From documenting the Dirt Bowl this summer to partnering with the YMCA to do a portrait series, and organizing community events in Smoketown with neighbors including Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Kertis Creative continually strives to share stories that inspire change and participation, while working to create “connected neighborhood spaces for people to share ideas, concerns and passions.” For more on Kertis Creative visit kertiscreative.com JOSH MILLER

Public Art: What’s Our Story?

ISLAND TREASURES

recent article titled “Public Art: More Than a Background for Selfies” by Robert Lynch, President and CEO of the Americans for the Arts, was published by the Huffington Post.

Lynch discussed our engagement with public art worldwide and exponential change in public art practice. One fact about public art that never changes is its capacity to connect people.

Public art is for all of us! In Louisville we are fortunate to have public art in our midst, from traditional monumental sculpture such as Louis XVI, made by Achille Joseph Etienne Valois c. 1816, gesturing proudly to passersby at Sixth and Jefferson, to more conceptual work such as Todd Smith’s Daily Climb, documented through digital photography and blog posts from 2007 to 2010. Public art in Louisville

earliest works of public art in Louisville were made in the early 19th century, but for hundreds of years humans have produced art in public space to provide geographic reference, reinforce (and challenge) political leadership, inspire pride or fear, express spirituality, and generally tell their stories with visual imagery, words, symbols, abstract forms, sound, and performance.

Louisville Metro Government and the Commission on Public Art have made a commitment to public art in Louisville, with emphasis on collection management as well as adding new projects to our city. The commitment includes an ongoing inven-

“The pieces we fund, install and create will tell our stories in the future. That’s the power of public art.”

varies from contemplative works like The Bride, made by Reginald Cotterell Butler in 1964, sited among trees and rosebushes in Founders Square at Fifth and Muhammad Ali Boulevard, to interactive spaces, full of life, like the Big Four Bridge. Beyond sculptural works, we have numerous vibrant murals, most often commissioned for private property, but enjoyed by the public.

Louisville benefits from innovative artist residencies, inviting artists to focus their creative energy on making art, but also dissolving the boundaries of art as tangible object and contributing conceptually to social and environmental activism.

Each of these examples of public art practice shares a common ground - they create dialog between people and enrich our shared experience of public spaces. Public art identifies us, our time and our place, and expresses our collective values and beliefs. The

tory of public art in Louisville and a public art database accessible to the community (www.louisvilleky.gov).

Metro Louisville and the Commission on Public Art are actively working to address the evolving nature of public art and to develop policies that reflect best practices in the field. Current goals include continuous progress on the public art database, preservation and maintenance, and advancing opportunities for new public art projects.

Lynch’s article states: “As the conversation about public art moves beyond classic statues to ever-changing digital creations, as murals morph from patriotic symbols to powerful found art, we have to ask ourselves: what is the public art of the future?...

The pieces we leave behind will tell our stories of today. The pieces we fund, install and create will tell our stories in the future. That’s the power of public art.”

With eager anticipation, I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Louisville, and to see how our stories are told.

The Spirit of The ConradCaldwell House Museum Circa 1895

M

any paranormal enthusiasts consider Old Louisville one of the most haunted neighborhoods in America. Just ask author and honorary chair of this year’s Spirit Ball Masquerade David Dominé. In his most recent book True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood, he chronicles the chilling tales and fascinating history of this country’s largest Victorian neighborhood. The location for the 9th annual Spirit Ball, The Conrad-Caldwell House, is believed to be one of the most haunted houses of them all.

This year, on October 25, the event will celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Belle of Louisville as guests board the “haunted steamboat” and sway to live music by pianist Christopher White, the Rascals of Ragtyme and singer Karan Chavis with Winton Reynolds. Following the main event, the big wheel will keep turning with a speakeasy-style after party. A costume contest is among the highlights of the night, and if you don’t have a date, perhaps the ghost of Mr. Theophilus Caldwell or Grace Caldwell (pictured above), who are said to be the spirit residents of the Museum, will meet you on the dance floor! For ticket information, call 502-6365023, or visit Conrad-caldwell.org.

CREATING FOR REAL LIFE...

Terri Bass, the top associate at Lenihan Sotheby’s International Realty and her husband Steve, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, have utilized the services of Lee W. Robinson not only for their present home under construction in Glenview but their last three homes.

“Lee’s expertise is amazing when choosing colors, fabrics and giving us the “wow” factor. The biggest compliment anyone can give another is to continue to use them time and time again. Lee just makes it easy.”
