FROM THE

Years ago when I met New York City-based milliner Christine Moore at an event showcasing her hats in Louisville, it was clear she was someone special. People lined up for the opportunity to talk with the featured artist – because that’s really what she is – and she spent time with every single one, ensuring each person had their moment with her, whether they made a purchase or not, though most did. Over the years, I continued to follow Christine, mostly from afar, always in awe as she continued to rack up accolades and impressed with how approachable and accessible she remained despite her growing fame for not only creating hats – fascinators and hattinators, too – but also setting trends that were followed from coast to coast. Somewhere along the way, our paths crossed yet again, and she told me with what appeared to be sincerity, “If I can ever do anything for you, call me. I mean that.” I didn’t think she was serious but kept her contact information anyway. I am so glad I did. When the opportunity to feature Lobster Feast as the cover story arose, The Voice-Tribune team knew we wanted to showcase the beneficiary of this legendary event: Actors Theatre of Louisville. But, we wondered, how could we present both the event and Actors in a way that was fresh and interesting? First and foremost, we were able to get arts writer extraordinaire Marty Rosen to craft a beautiful piece about the upcoming Humana Festival of New Plays. You can read his work beginning on page 20. With a bit of trepidation and skepticism, we also reached out to see if Christine would consider creating a fascinator to represent Lobster Feast 2018 and its Legendary Louisville theme. And we held our collective breath. Yet, she quickly obliged, much to our surprise and gratitude. You can see what she and her talented team at Christine A. Moore Millinery created for us on the cover and in a pictorial shot by Louisville-based photographer Erik Branch. The spread features model Kristen Kirsch wearing the $2,250 work of art specifically created for you, for Actors Theatre, and, maybe one day, for The Met. You’ll have to read the feature with Christine on page 24 to understand what I mean. A gal can dream, but in this case, odds are the much-loved milliner will come out on top. 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Louisville’s Got Talent

or the fifth year in a row, CenterStage is hosting an extraordinary talent competition to benefit their traveling theater program, Acting Out. The event takes place on Sunday, March 25, but the audition process begins Jake Latts in February. To learn more about Louisville’s Got Talent and how children can be a part of the magic, we spoke with the event’s founder, Jake Latts.

Congratulations on five successful years of Louisville’s Got Talent! How has this event evolved since its inception? Thanks so much! It’s so exciting that Louisville’s Got Talent is in its fifth year, and in those five years, we have raised more than $25,000 for Acting Out. We hope this event showcasing local talent and benefiting a worthy cause will last for decades! Over the years, we have continued to see increases in the number of kids and the range of acts that the auditions draw. It is exciting to see kids from all over the region coming in for auditions. We also moved the final showcase 6

last year to be a nighttime event. This really upped the sophistication and attendance of the event, and resulted in last year’s finale being standing room only.

What is the audition process like? First, those wanting to audition can apply on the Louisville’s Got Talent website. They choose which block in the audition day they would like to perform in. On that day, four or five judges, including me, watch all of the auditions, rating each on a scale from one to 10. At the end of the day, all the ratings are put in order from highest to lowest. With some debate, the top 20 auditions move on to the final round. We do look for a variety of acts and welcome all types of talents from singing and dancing to juggling, improv and magic.

Who will be judging this year’s competition? We have an awesome group of celebrity judges including Robert Curran, Louisville Ballet’s artistic director; Erika Denise, Louisville Central Community Center’s fine arts coordinator; Andrea Diggs, Kidsview founder and director; Ben Sollee, Kentucky-born cellist, singer-songwriter and composer; and Jason Clayborn, Louisville-born Grammy-nominated gospel singer.

LOUISVILLE’S GOT TALENT www.CenterStageJCC.org 502.238.2709

What kind of prizes will the winners take home? The best performance winner in the age six to 12 category will receive $300 and age 13 to 18 will receive $300. The People’s Choice winner will receive $150 and the grand prize winner will take home $500.

How does Louisville’s Got Talent benefit CenterStage Acting Out and the community at large? Acting Out is an awesome organization that takes children’s theater out to area schools. These schools often have kids who otherwise would not have the opportunity to see live theater. All proceeds of Louisville’s Got Talent go to fund shows for Acting Out. The competition is a great way to showcase the diverse talents of the young people in Louisville. Not only is it a great artistic outlet, it is all for a great cause. Acting Out brings live performing arts to students who may just be inspired to become artists themselves.

Can children still sign up to audition? Yes! Anyone can sign up from now until audition day on Feb. 11. If you can’t make it to auditions on Feb. 11, please contact Anne Ensign-Urteaga at 502.238.2773 to arrange an alternative session on Feb. 8. VT

HOMES

Don’t Wait For Spring Get a jump on projects around your home now for a hassle-free (near) future

he holidays are over, a new year has begun and January is about to come to an end. But for homeowners, that means it’s time to do a few planning and maintenance tasks that will save time, money and hassles in the near future. Whether or not you’re planning to put your house on the market at some point once the weather gets warmer, Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS® suggests following these three tips courtesy of the National Association of REALTORS® consumer website, HouseLogic: 1. Finalize plans for summertime projects such as landscaping and decks, especially if you need help from a professional. Now is the time to find a contractor if you want to enjoy your outdoor projects by summer, or if you plan to list your home by summer. Beat the spring rush by getting bids and contracts in place now so that your project will be one of the first scheduled before the contactor gets booked up. 2. Create an annual schedule to clean and replace all home filters. In addition to HVAC filters, the filters in your refrigerator, 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

vacuum cleaner and dryer, other household items need to be changed or cleaned once a year in order to be effective. Don’t forget the dehumidifier filter, which can be a breeding ground for harmful mold. 3. Deep clean the kitchen. The holiday merriment takes a big toll on the kitchen, so now is a great time to clean the oven, purge the pantry, clean out the fridge and wipe down the walls and baseboards. VT The Greater Louisville Association of REALTORS® (GLAR) is the “The Voice for Real Estate” in the Greater Louisville Area. As the local arm of America’s largest trade association, the National Association of REALTORS®, GLAR represents more than 4,000 members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. GLAR organizes advocacy efforts on legislative issues that impact the real estate profession and homeownership, offers professional development and continuing education opportunities and coordinates community service projects throughout the year so its members can give back to the community where they live and work.

Lobster Love Annual event a delicious way to support Actors Theatre

By Angie Fenton Photos by Bill Wine and Tim Valentino Harry Dennery takes on the lobster.

very year, hundreds of people take part in Lobster Feast, a costumed fundraiser benefiting Actors Theatre. This year’s theme, Legendary Louisville, is expected to encourage guests to don all manner of dress celebrating local people, places and history that make the city such a storied locale. While the purpose of the soirée – supporting the world-renowned theater – takes center stage, attendees always enjoy the all-you-can-eat lobster buffet, which prompted us to ask the organizers for a bit of insight into what it takes to pull off the annual event.

On average, how many pounds of lobster does each guest eat?

How many pounds of lobster are ordered for Lobster Feast?

In terms of the theme – Legendary Louisville – what do you expect to see as far as costumes/attire?

2,500 pounds.

LOBSTER FEAST 2018 Saturday, Jan. 27 6 p.m. doors open; dinner served at 8 p.m. Louisville Marriott Downtown ActorsTheatre.org

Each guest averages two lobsters.

How many bibs will you go through at Lobster Feast? More than 600 – basically one bib per person plus a few extra.

Dinner is served at 8 p.m., so when does the buffet of lobster end? The buffet is open until 9 p.m.

For those who’ve never attended, how are the lobsters cooked? How are they served to guests?

We expect costumes, cocktail attire, casual wear and everything in between. Everyone from Louisville celebrities to the town’s favorite sports teams will likely be on display.

We have a fantastical lobster parade where our guests are entertained as much as filled by the delicious lobsters served hot and fresh to their tables.

What if you don’t enjoy lobster but are attending to support Actors Theatre? What else is on the menu? Smoked fried chicken, Old Forester barbecue chicken, smoked gouda mashed potatoes, smothered green beans and cornbread with Old Forester sorghum butter.

5 FAST FACTS ABOUT LOBSTERS 1 4 Lobsters were originally considered to be food for minions (no, not the little, yellow ones from the “Despicable Me” franchise). Poor people, prisoners and even pigs were fed what’s now considered an expensive delicacy.

2 3

Lobsters have hairs on their feet and legs that they use to identify food.

A University of Maine professor created golf balls with a biodegradable core made out of lobster shells. While the balls look like the real thing, they only go about 70 percent of the distance.

Nope, it’s not a myth: Lobsters chew their food with their stomachs. The structure “...is called the gastric mill, (and is) kind of like a set of teeth on their stomachs, which are right behind the eyes and the size of a walnut in a one-pound lobster,” according to TIME magazine.

Top 12 Exercises for the Best Celebrity Workout Story by Jeffrey Howard Photos by Jillian Clark

e all know celebrities maintain their bodies with a little – nay, a lot – of help from folks like personal trainers, private chefs, professional aestheticians and maybe even a plastic surgeon or two. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t practice certain habits to preserve their killer physiques. We assume they must do something magical, but the truth is that it comes down to consistency and following certain practices. In the interest of seeing what some of the world’s most beautiful people do to keep fit – and to get in shape ourselves – I have outlined a few healthy practices and designed a few exercises to help you achieve your very own celebrity routine. Let’s start your journey to your very own red carpet!

THE WORKOUT PLAN How it works: Three times a week, do one set of 16 to 20 reps of each move in order, without resting between sets. Do cardio for five minutes, then repeat the entire circuit once or twice. What you’ll need: one set of five to 10 pound dumbbells, jump rope (optional) and a mat or soft surface.

1. JUMP ROPE = CARDIO You’ve heard the phrase “it’s like riding a bike.” The jump rope is making a comeback thanks to enthusiasm from celebrities, and it’s a great alternative to cardio since it’s a low-impact exercise. You might surprise yourself with how good you become at it, but if you feel challenged by the actual rope, simply simulate jumping a rope.

2. PLIÉ SQUAT

1 Jennifer McCall Kuhl with Jeff Howard.

Start with your heels together and your hands on your hips. Stand on your toes and bend with your knees, allowing them to point laterally. Go as low as your comfort level will allow. To make it a little more challenging, take your hands behind your head to work your core. You will feel 2 your balance being challenged.

4. DEADLIFT REVERSE FLY Stand with your feet wide. Bend forward with a flat back. Go low as you feel comfortable with a slight bend in your knees. Then stand up, lifting your arms and laterally reaching toward the back of the room. This is great for your gluteus and your back.

5. SINGLE LEG BICEP CURL Position yourself with your feet in a kickstand position. Do a bicep curl starting with a hammer grip by your sides, and rotate your hand on the up so the hand weight faces your body. This causes the bicep to develop into a little ball which is a very pretty muscle. For a more advanced exercise, lift your leg to your comfort level. Pushing your heel forward as your toe is dorsiflexed will challenge your gluteus and core.

3. PLIÉ SQUAT: INNER AND OUTER THIGHS While holding your plié squat on your toes, move your knees in towards one another and then back out. Once again, your core will be challenged and this will shape your inner and outer thighs and your gluteus. 10

0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Position yourself with your feet in a kickstand position. Take your hands overhead and lower the weight behind your head. Keep your elbows facing forward, then extend the weights back up towards the ceiling. Remember not to lock the elbows. For more of a challenge, lift your leg to where you feel comfortable and continue the movements. This will work both your gluteus and core.

10. GLUTES BUILDER Position yourself prone on all fours and take a small hand weight behind your knee, bending the leg to secure the hand weight. Push the heel to the sky while never losing the weight. Repeat on your other leg. This exercise can also be done on your elbows.

7. BATTLE ROPES We’ve all seen the celebrities using battle ropes as they whip their arms up and down while hitting the rope against the floor. No battle ropes? No problem. You can simulate the exact same movement using two dumbbells. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend your knees into a squat position. Imagine you have a rope in each hand, bring one up and lower the other. Making sure you use the upper body, move left to right so your core is engaged. This one is a great overall upper body and core exercise.

8. DEEP ALTERNATING LUNGE

Standing with your feet directly under your hips, move one leg forward and lunge toward the floor. Try not to hip hinge as you reach up with the opposite hand towards the sky. Bring the leg back and repeat with the other leg. If you need to put your hand on your quad, do so.

9. KILLER PLANK Lay prone (facing the floor) on the floor, taking your elbows to the ground under your shoulders with palms facing down. Tuck your toes under so they are on the floor. Then pick your hips up off of the floor into a stabilized plank. Lower your hips back to the floor and repeat. 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

10 11. CHEST FLY AND LOWER ABS Lying supine (facing up) bring your hands up towards the sky, lifting one leg. As you open your arms to either side of the room and lower them back towards floor, lower the raised leg and bring the other leg up. Your head remains on the floor as you continue with chest fly, lowering one leg after the other. Only lower the leg to where you feel comfortable. If you have 11 lower back issues, leave your legs elevated. For more of a challenge, lift your head and form a C curve.

12. BUTTERFLY ABS Lying supine, bring the soles of your feet together so they touch. With your hands behind your head, do a crunch and try to touch your elbows to your knees. Once your set is complete, you may want to try a more challenging move. Keeping the soles of your feet together, lift them up towards the sky and then bring them back down towards your body. VT

HOW TO ACHIEVE “YOUR” CELEBRITY BODY:

LIFE

6. SINGLE LEG TRICEP EXTENSION

MAKE IT FUN Do what you love: have fun! Exercise shouldn’t be something to check off a to-do list; it should be something you really look forward to. WRITE DOWN AND MEASURE Write down what your goal is going to be. Then, put it on your fridge, in your wallet or somewhere you’ll be aware of it. TAKE BABY STEPS Make your goals manageable. Break down what’s realistic for you, make a schedule to reach your goal and try to stick to it. TREAT YO SELF! Once you’ve approached and reached one of your goals, have a reward system in place to celebrate your accomplishment. A massage, coffee with a friend or something new for your closet are good examples. ASK FOR HELP If you have a goal and don’t have a clue how to reach it, hire a fitness professional to help guide you.

HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS A R T S & E N T E R TA I N M E N T

Fund for the Arts launches Arts Inspiring Hope to positively impact breast cancer community By Remy Sisk Courtesy Photos

und for the Arts is renowned in the community for its long reputation of aiding and sustaining some of the city’s preeminent arts organizations. Continuing that longstanding tradition of support, the Fund has recently launched a new form of outreach called Arts Inspiring Hope, a movement aimed at harnessing the healing power of the arts and using it to transform the lives of those touched by breast cancer. “Arts Inspiring Hope is an opportunity for survivors, co-survivors and current breast cancer patients to get a little bit of an escape from what they’re experiencing in their everyday lives,” says Fund for the Arts

Arts Inspiring Hope is a movement aimed at harnessing the healing power of the arts and using it to transform the lives of those touched by breast cancer. 12

Impact Officer Kat Abner, “and we’re utilizing the arts to help give them that escape.” The initiative was born out of a conversation with Susan G. Komen of Kentucky, and they, along with Fund for the Arts, began to explore how the current breast cancer community could be engaged and how the arts could be used as a healing tool. The program manifests in the community in two different ways: First, survivors and co-survivors may receive free tickets to various arts experiences across the community. “It’s tickets to whatever speaks to them and whatever they’re passionate about,” Abner affirms. Second, the Fund is hosting arts workshops in collaboration with community partners. More activity- and movement-based, these workshops allow attendees to maybe work with a dance instructor or practice a monologue – they are arts experiences with more of a learning and participation factor.

These workshops formerly took place at five different locations weekly, but as attendance was somewhat less than hoped for, there’s been a bit of retooling to this aspect of the program in order to maximize impact. “What we learned in this pilot year is that the best way to engage the population is through their support network,” Abner explains. “So we regrouped and went back to this community and asked, ‘What would be a more effective way to engage the population?’ and they suggested that we focus on co-hosting opportunities with support groups or reaching patients through their healthcare providers.” Though the program is only a few months old, Abner maintains that the positive results are already clear and looks forward to the coming phases of Arts

Inspiring Hope and how it will continue to change the lives of those affected by breast cancer. “I think it’s a great way to give people an opportunity that is maybe going to open up their eyes to another way that they can deal with or cope with the trauma they’re experiencing or have experienced through the treatment and recovery process,” Abner emphasizes. “We hear from people who have gone to performances that it was a great opportunity for them to not just personally take a break but to reconnect with their families and their loved ones and do so in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with their diagnosis. It’s just a way for them to do something again as a family or as a group of friends and take a break from the hard conversations and tough times they’re having.” VT

LIFE

ri Bowers is an artist and illustrator by night and gallery director at Revelry Boutique Gallery by day. Like art, she curates her wardrobe one piece at a time, and strongly believes that fashion is an outlet we can all use to express ourselves.

When did you start embracing fashion? I really don’t ever remember not embracing fashion. My favorite toy as a child was the dress up trunk my grandmother gave me. My clothes were my toys.

How do you choose an outfit?

then you should buy it regardless of whether you have anything in your closet to wear with it. That is my motto.

Do you have any favorite local shops? Crazy Daisy is a place I like to go to to get my vintage. I’ve also been getting vintage pieces from friends and other artists lately. This fringe jacket was given to me by another local artist. The last two pieces of vintage I got are from people just giving them to me. And I always go to Revelry for jewelry.

Is vintage a large part of your wardrobe?

It really depends on what I am most excited about wearing. It could be a pair of shoes I just bought and can’t wait to wear. I may even find a handbag that I haven’t worn in a while, so I will plan an outfit around that. It is usually about which piece speaks to me that day.

Vintage is always a smart buy. If you like it, then you will probably always like it. Vintage isn’t usually about being on trend. I also do a lot of shopping at Stella’s since it is resale and vintage. They have pieces that are very fashionable and good quality. I don’t own a lot of vintage, but I wear it a lot because the items I do own are usually practical items.

What is your shopping strategy?

What do you love most about fashion?

I don’t buy things as an outfit. I will buy a piece individually because I like it. Some people say that you shouldn’t shop that way. However, when I look at my closet and I see all of these things that I love, they all somehow seem to work together because they all represent me. If you like something and it speaks to you,

I love that you can express yourself and tell a story with it. You can even evoke a mood with what you have on. It is an art form. It is also nice that it is art that is on your body, so you don’t always have to talk about it; you just wear it. I am a visual artist, so fashion has become another way for me to express myself artistically.

Do you have any favorite brands? In general, I have been more conscious about purchasing things that are made in America. I have been reading a lot of articles on how almost everything is imported. I come from a retail background, and some of these articles say that salespeople are going to be extinct in the coming years. That is sad to me because a lot of my early memories with fashion include me going to the mall with my grandmother. She knew every sales lady, and there was a real friendship there. I am not saying online shopping is bad, but I am trying to be more aware of brands that are keeping things in America. I do love brands like Zara, but I will pay more money for brands that are keeping jobs here and are of better quality.

Are there any pieces you are really inspired by right now? I was recently gifted a vintage biker jacket from the 80s. It is also made in America, and it has this amazing fringe on the sleeves. That is a piece I will be wearing as a staple this winter since it is just so unique.

Do you ever have a casual day? I don’t always dress up, but I do always wear things I like. My dress down day usually consists of a band tee, denim and Chucks. You can still be comfortable but wear things you feel good about. VT

Future Cardinal Relishing Senior Year at Butler Story by Randy Whetstone Jr. Photo by Hailey Johnson

he Butler girls’ basketball team has been one of the most prominent programs in the state the past few years. Each year, head coach Larry Just does not take for granted the privilege he has to coach and lead a group of talented young ladies. This season, he’s had the opportunity to witness the growth and emergence of one of his seniors, Molly Lockhart, who has committed to the University of Louisville. “Molly is an outstanding young lady that has worked hard during the season and off season. She has trusted the coaches around her to help develop her skills. Watching her development from when she walked through our doors to now earning a Division I scholarship has been amazing,” says Just. Standing at 6-foot-3, Lockhart will certainly have a presence and will use her height as an advantage in the college ranks as she has done throughout her high school career. But her basketball journey has been unorthodox to say the least. She started playing at a later age than most, and when she came to the Butler program, she was an infant in understanding the various components of the game and was unsure if basketball would even be her niche. “She literally started with the fundamentals of layups and footwork,” Just adds. Lockhart reflects on how the journey from her freshman year to her senior year has equipped her to compete on the highest level in the state of Kentucky. “I think as a player I have gotten smarter. Coming in freshman year, I had only been playing for a couple of years and didn’t know what to expect with high school basketball.

Throughout the years I have really tried to learn the game and become a smarter player. Going up against the best players in Kentucky has really influenced me in becoming the player I am today,” says Lockhart. As a sophomore, Lockhart won a state championship during the 2015/16 season. During that time she learned from upperclassmen that hard work goes a long way. She saw how they sacrificed their free time to stay after practice and perfect their craft in order to play at the collegiate level. She says, “I learned that if I want to be as good as they are and play in college, then I would have to work hard like they did.” This year, she leads the team with 11.9 points a game and 7.9 rebounds, and has relished her moments as a Bearette while taking heed to the many lessons taught by Coach Just. “He always teaches us that it is about more than just basketball, whether it is in the classroom or everyday life. He has expectations for all of us and teaches us that everything we do has consequences,” she adds. Lockhart will finish her high school career with one of the top programs in the state and nation, so it’s safe to say she is used to high standards. As she transitions from high school to college, expectations will be high as a Lady Cardinal playing under Coach Jeff Walz. “UofL has such a good athletics program that I just fell in love with it instantly, and it’s great playing for my hometown. I get to be close to my home, family and friends. Playing for Coach Walz will be a huge honor. He is such an amazing coach and to see what he has accomplished is amazing.”

As she watches the No. 2 Lady Cards have a remarkable season, Lockhart says she is inspired by the kinship the players share and will look to add to their unity once she arrives. “Going to the games, I can see how close the girls are. They like each other and you can see there is no [other] place they would rather be. They are off to such a great start, and it’s really fun to watch. As a freshman, I will come in working hard and hope to better the team in any way I can.” As Lockhart finishes her senior season, Coach Just believes she will make a positive impact at the next level. Through her hard work and competitive spirit, he knows she will remain comfortable in her hometown as a Lady Card. “With Molly developing her game as an inside presence first and now showing the ability to step outside and make shots, I think that will allow her to be used in different ways at UofL. Her strengths that she started with in high school will only get better at the next level when she is challenged by quality players everyday. There will be some changes that she will need to make, but she will be up for the challenge. “Depending on how the season finishes, Molly has a chance to be the best player in this region. She also has a chance to be an All-State player and play on all-star teams to represent Kentucky. Those types of players don’t come along every year. With the impact that she has on the floor and the way she goes about her business off the floor, she’s set an example that future Bearettes should strive to follow.” VT 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

NON-PROFIT PROFILE

Ridding the City of Homelessness

By Steve Kaufman

very year, The Louisville Coalition of the Homeless takes a count of the people sleeping on the streets. Its goal is not to find anyone. This week, about 300 volunteers met at 4 a.m. on a mid-winter downtown street corner and fanned out across the city. It was the annual City Homeless Street Count, the effort by the Louisville Coalition of the Homeless to tally the number of people sleeping on the streets. The best possible return on all this effort is “zero” – nobody found huddled in doorways or under highway viaducts, or reported sleeping in shelters. But the Coalition, whose stated mission is “to prevent and end homelessness in Louisville,” knows that “zero” is still a work-inprogress. The ideal is to return a head count that’s lower than the 156 reported a year ago. That’s the goal – always lower, year after year after year, until the problem is at last eliminated. However, the point of the Street Count is not merely to keep score. It’s also to leverage federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and to determine how to invest the resources it gets. The Coalition coordinates the activi-

ties of a number of agencies and organizations – like Wellspring, Home of the Innocents, The Center for Women and Families and other local providers listed on its website, LouisvilleHomeless.org. “Our role is to see the big picture,” said Melissa Kratzer, the Coalition’s director of development, “what all the organizations in Louisville need to help fill the gaps in services and to help them work together more efficiently.” Not surprisingly, filling those needs comes down to money. Kratzer said the Coalition will be getting $9.5 million from HUD this year, to be spread among the various organizations. Otherwise, the Coalition, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, lives on local grants and private donations. “We raise about $300,000 to $400,000 a year in donations,” Kratzer said. The entire scope of homelessness is a daunting challenge. To try chipping away at it, the Coalition has focused on particular segments of that community. “A few years ago,” said Kratzer, “we focused on housing chronically homeless people – those most likely to die on our streets. Since 2011, we have reduced chronic homelessness by 50 percent.”

A subsequent focus was on veterans. In 2015, the Coalition created the Rx: Veterans program to deal with what Kratzer said were the 25 veterans who become newly homeless every month. On Veterans Day 2016, Mayor Fischer was informed by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness that Louisville had reached “functional zero” for veteran homelessness. The current focus is on youth homelessness – the more than 800 young people under 24 who experience homelessness every year. The Host Homes Program to end youth homelessness by 2020 involves finding families to house young persons for one to three months while they’re working with a case manager on a permanent housing solution. “We want them to be able to stay with a stable family and not worry about staying warm each night, so they can focus on longterm goals like going to college or getting a job,” says Kratzer, “rather than sleeping in a shelter or on the street, or engaging in survival sex.” They deserve a better chance at life.

AT THE HUMANA FESTIVAL, THE PLAYS ARE NOT THE ONLY THING By Marty Rosen Courtesy Photos Illustration by Mary Kate Zihar for Actors Theatre

42ND HUMANA FESTIVAL OF NEW AMERICAN PLAYS Feb. 28 - Apr. 8 Single tickets and weekend packages available actorstheatre.org

want to be involved in those things – but if you do want to be involved, they’re open. And I’m really interested in it because all of those things are related to the creative aspects: Something like thinking about poster images helps me develop my own understanding of the play.” For 42 seasons, that intense collaborative effort, which involves the simultaneous creation of multiple works of art, has been the hallmark of the Humana Festival. It’s a process that has created more than 400 plays, including full-length, shorts and collaborative multi-author works. Many of those plays have become staples of the American stage. One way to judge the impact of those works is by looking at the number that have been nominated for and are winners of some of the country’s most prestigious awards, including Pulitzers, Obies and other prizes awarded by the American Theatre Critics Association and the National Theatre Conference.

F E AT U R E

riters often compare the Humana Festival of New American Plays to the Sundance Film Festival. In many ways, that’s quite apt. Both are the preeminent American events in their respective disciplines. Both serve as springboards for individual works and for the artists who create them. Both are widely viewed by critics, artists and audiences as influential bellwethers that herald the direction of artistic innovation. But there’s also a fundamental distinction between the two festivals. The film festival exhibits complete works – films that have been brought to their final form by their producers. In contrast, the Humana Festival of New American Plays is the culmination of a complex, months-long collaborative process. That process, begun under the leadership of festival founder Jon Jory, has continued under subsequent artistic directors Marc Masterson and Les Waters, and persists today. It begins with the selection of scripts by the company’s literary team and artistic leadership. But what comes after the selection of plays is a remarkable chain of events. Actors Theatre of Louisville brings each playwright together with a director; dramaturg; stage managers; designers of scenery, costumes, lights and sound; choreographers and fight choreographers; music directors; a cast of performers; and even the behind-thescenes team that develops things like posters, blurbs and other materials that introduce the new works to the public. Over a period of a few months, each team works together to create the fully-formed artwork that festival audiences see on stage each spring. Playwright Deborah Stein, whose “Marginal Loss” is the second play to open at this year’s festival, said in a phone interview, “The play on the page is just the beginning. A play doesn’t exist until it’s onstage with collaborators and with an audience. The play on a computer is the first third of the process. Then there’s the making of the performance event, and then there’s the sharing of the performance event. “ Stein, whose previous Humana Festival credits include “Fissures” and “Heist” (both from the 2010 festival), continued, “One of the things that sets Actors Theatre apart from other theaters is how involved they want writers to be in all the phases of production. They flew me in a couple of months ago so I could be in the room and meet with the designers – and that was priceless. And I’ve been involved in the marketing conversations. It’s totally optional – and there are writers who don’t

The play on the page is just the beginning. A play doesn’t exist until it’s onstage with collaborators and with an audience.

— Playwright Deborah Stein

But the plays themselves only tell part of the story. Because of the way the Humana Festival develops new works, each production also creates and builds upon a unique set of artistic relationships among those who work on it. Over the last 40 years, those relationships have created an uncountable number of enduring professional networks that have shaped the history of contemporary American theater. And those relationships can take wildly varied forms. The first three plays on this year’s Humana bill reveal some of the myriad ways in which the festival brings people together. The story of Stein’s festival connections may not be representative – a diagram of her artistic network would be incomprehensible – but it’s illustrative. These days, Stein’s primary creative partner is Suli Holum, a playwright, director and choreographer. In 2004, when Holum was in the cast of the Humana production of Naomi Iizuka’s “At The Vanishing Point,” Stein met Iizuka. Years later, Stein joined Iizuka on the faculty of the theater program at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Last spring, a student named Mara Nelson-Greenberg applied to UCSD’s graduate program. Stein read her application script. “It 21

was amazing,” said Stein. “She has an extraordinarily distinctive, comic, feminist voice. I’ve never read plays like hers.” Nelson-Greenberg enrolled at UCSD last fall. Not long afterwards, she received word that her play, “Do You Feel Anger?” (about an empathy coach working with employees at a debt collection agency), had been accepted into this year’s festival.

The whole process at Actors feels like such a true collaboration as far as decision-making goes. They let me sound out questions or anxieties or hopes. — Playwright Mara Nelson-Greenberg

In short order, Stein heard that her own “Marginal Loss,” (also a workplace play, this one set just after 9/11 in the office of a firm that has losses in the attack) had also been accepted. But that’s only the start of Stein’s connection to Humana. On the day I spoke with her, she was in New York, where she had just seen a play featuring an actor she met during the 2010 Festival – a former member of Actors Theatre’s professional training company. And in March, when Stein’s recent play, “The Wholehearted,” makes its New York City premiere, the sound designer will be Matt Hubbs, whom she knows through his previous Humana Festival work. “Some of my best friends are people I collaborated with at Humana,” said Stein, who added that for many people in theater, the festival offers career models. “There are certain career paths that run through the Humana Festival. As a young writer, I remember looking for role models, wondering what does it look like to have a career as a playwright, because that is a weird thing to want to be. So who could I look to? And the Humana Festival kept being a thing that showed up in people’s biographies who had done work that I really admired.” For Nelson-Greenberg, getting the call that her play had been accepted into the festival was a shock. “Amy Wegener (head of

Actors Theatre’s literary department) called to tell me they were going to produce it. I was so shocked that I asked her if I could hang up the phone and call her back. I sat for like 15 minutes alone, and then called her. It was almost as if I had blacked out or something. “ In a phone call from California, NelsonGreenberg told me she’s been balancing her ongoing school work with prepping for the Humana Festival. “I have a deadline this week for new work,” she said. For her, new relationships have already come to define both the UCSD and the Humana experience. “This last few months has been a lot of firsts for me,” she said, “but I feel so grateful to feel that I’m in such supportive hands. I have great support from Deborah (Stein), who is an amazing mentor and teacher. And from Naomi (Iizuka) and all of my classmates. And the whole process at Actors feels like such a true collaboration as far as decision-making goes. They let me sound out questions or anxieties or hopes.” And for Nelson-Greenberg, the support she’s received throughout the process has been stimulating. “I feel very lucky for my first production to be happening at a place like ATL. It’s not just about getting the final product up on the stage. A big part of it is how you get there. And you get there with other people. Les Waters put me in touch with my director, Margot Bordelon. It was kind of a blind date, and she has been amazing. It felt like since day one that we speak the same language, and she really understands what I’m trying to do. I think Les really has an eye for bringing people together. “ In an interview, Waters told me the festival’s mission is to serve the playwrights’ vision, and that includes trying to honor the playwrights’ preferences regarding directors. Leah Nanako Winkler, whose play “God Said This” (a family drama set in Kentucky) opens this year’s festival, is a case in point. Like Nelson-Greenberg, Nanako Winkler, who grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, took part in the Youngblood writers’ development program at New York City’s Ensemble Studio Theater (though the two didn’t overlap). Before that, she attended Lexington’s Tates Creek High School, where she was

ately wanted. I was so nervous. I felt like a geek. But he’s the nicest. He’s so down-toearth and cool, which makes sense because you can’t be a good director if you’re not those things. And we had a lovely conversation.” The next day Nanako Winkler called Gould and said, “They said we could do it! And we were all, ‘Yay!’ again.” For Nanako Winkler, Gould and Nelson-Greenberg, this year’s Humana Festival is the beginning of a new phase in their creative lives. “I’ve always admired Humana from afar,” said Nelson-Greenberg, “and even though now I’m a part of it, I haven’t totally experienced it, so it still feels like it’s afar.” Nanako Winkler, who has attended only one Humana Festival, said, “When I was growing up in Lexington, it just seemed so far away. It wasn’t until I got to New York that I realized what a huge deal it is. I never imagined being a part of it. It gives me hope.” Gould, who has attended “a bunch” of Humana Festivals but never as a participant, said, “It’s such an amazingly supportive professional environment with such wonderful support. I’m excited to be a part of it.” Deborah Stein, though she, too, is still comparatively early in her career, speaks from a longer perspective. “I’m so excited to see Leah (Nanako Winkler) and Morgan (Gould) in this (Actors Theatre) slot,” she said, “because they’re doing such exciting work – and I remember when they were making tiny garage pieces in Brooklyn. It’s strong work, and people see its strength. And people like Les understand the work and know how to find it. I think about the way Naomi Iizuka has mentored me. And now I’m mentoring Mara (Nelson-Greenberg). And 10 years from now these younger playwrights will be mentoring other writers.” Stein continues, “I think the important thing about the Humana Festival is that it’s a center that people pass through on their way to other places – but they always stay connected.” VT

introduced to theater drama teacher Lisa Osterman. Nanako Winkler started out writing and producing her own plays in Indianapolis. Then she moved to New York City, where she became part of a community of fiercely-independent theater artists who self-produced their own work. “I was an outsider,” said Nanako Winkler in an interview. And in those early days, she and her friends would rejoice at drawing audiences of a half-dozen. One of those friends was Morgan Gould. They met 10 years ago when both were involved in New York’s burgeoning experimental theater scene. As Nanako Winkler started focusing on a career in writing, Gould maintained a broader portfolio that included directing, and directed the 2016 premiere of Nanako Winkler’s play “Kentucky,” which garnered an enthusiastic review in the New York Times. In an interview, Gould recalled, “We were coming up together, both us just clinging to the rock, and we share an aesthetic of surprise and humor, so we got deeply into working together, and now I direct a lot of her stuff.” But that was no guarantee that Gould would get the directing assignment for the Humana premiere. “Leah (Nanako Winkler) got the call,” said Gould. “And she called me up and told me and was like, ‘Yay!’ and she told me she was going to give them my name. And in my head I was thinking, ‘We’ll see how that goes.’” Then, said Gould, Les Waters called her. It was Waters’ direction of Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice” that inspired Gould to become a director, she recalled. “He had this moment where Eurydice has been writing letters through the play and the back of the set lights up, and suddenly you see all the letters that she’s written.” Gould was in acting school at the time, but it was an epiphany. “I suddenly realized I didn’t want to be an actor, I wanted to do that. I wanted to be a director.” Her hero was on the phone, said Gould, “and I was interviewing for a job I desper-

Lobster Feast 2018 A legendary way to support Actors Theatre

By Angie Fenton

egendary Louisville, the theme of Lobster Feast 2018, encourages attendees to don any sort of apparel that pays homage to the people, places and events that make our city so memorable. The annual themed fundraiser benefiting Actors Theatre is a tantalizing way to support the renowned institution – and that extends far beyond the decadent meal. As in years past, revelers are sure to play with the theme in myriad ways, which beckoned The Voice-Tribune team to do the same. So, we reached out to milliner Christine A. Moore of Christine A. Moore Millinery in New York City. The much-heralded hatmaker quickly accepted our request to come up with a fascinator that would pay respect to both Lobster Feast and the legendary events that occur at Churchill Downs. “Lobsters are pretty interesting, which I never really thought about until this project,” admitted Moore, who went into research mode before coming up with a concept. “I started looking at lobsters in art, too, and that’s when I came up with the blue and gold wire.” Moore read media reports about the 2017 discovery of a rare blue lobster and an even rarer gold-colored lobster and was drawn to the rarity of both. (By the way, there is only one gold – otherwise known as yellow – lobster in

every 30 million, one blue lobster in every two million and the chances of finding the rarest type of lobster, the albino lobster, is about one in 100 million, according to University of Maine’s Lobster Institute.) Although Moore “did the research, did the doodles and then the sketch,” her staff took on “the fun stuff. … It’s a collaborative effort. It has to be. I can’t do it all. And they’re all artists themselves. I don’t want to waste a mind,” she said. “I have to engage them, too, I have to challenge them, too. I value their opinions. We all have the same training. I’ve just been doing this longer. They have new and creative ideas. I set the lead and send them off rolling.” The final product – which is featured throughout this pictorial shot by Erik Branch at Actors Theatre of Louisville – is a statement piece Moore hopes will kick off her next food series (she’s already done a dessert collection). One day, the Official Milliner of Breeders’ Cup also hopes the chapeau will be included in an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (yes, The Met). “The thing is, I feel like that’s a crazy dream, but what I’m trying to say is I’m trying to do it so well that when people invest in my pieces, I’m trying to do something that goes on for a long time or forever. It’s always fun to dream about. Any museum would be great, but The Met – that’s like my dream.” VT

in Thailand

By Carla Sue Broecker

Carla Sue and guide Wind at the Big Buddha Temple. The Sanctuary of Truth wooden pavilion, which began construction in 1987 at Pattaya, Thailand. Statue of Guanyin, goddess of mercy and compassion, at Wat Plai Laem Temple. A monkey being trained to spin coconuts until their ripe stem breaks when it is 75 feet up in a coconut tree.

ur current trip on the Regent Seven Seas Explorer began when we departed Beijing, China on December 29. We have covered a good bit of sea since that time, and are currently in Ko Samui, Thailand. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, it is surrounded by about 60 other islands, which compose the Ang Thong Marine National Park and include other tourism destinations. The island was probably first inhabited about 15 centuries ago and settled by fishermen from the Malay Peninsula and Southern China. It appears on Chinese maps dating back to 1687 under the name Pulo Cornam. The name Samui is mysterious in itself. Perhaps it was an extension of the name of one of the native trees, mui, or from the Malay word Saboey, which means “safe haven.” Ko is the Thai word for “island.” Ko Samui has a population of about 55,000. Their tourist industry and exports of coconut and rubber drive their economy. It was a rather isolated community, disconnected from the mainland of Thailand, until the 20th century, and roads were not built on the island until the 1970s. We anchored promptly at 8 a.m. This means that we needed to go ashore in a tender boat rather disembarking directly to the dock. In Ko Samui, the ship’s tenders are not used. Instead local ferry boats, much bigger than the ship has, take passengers to shore. The trip takes 20 minutes and is pleasant.

Regent has a “landing area” on shore any time guests are tendered in and it is quite nice. There is a little tent to protect guests from the sun and they have huge insulated urns of both cold water and fruit punch. Six different shore excursions plus independent travel for those who couldn’t make up their minds were offered. We had selected a sixhour excursion called “Ko Samui Discovery” because it offered a lot of variety, including lunch at a restaurant off the ship. The ship’s food is wonderful, but it is always fun to take a chance at a place you will never see again. The procedure is for guests to surrender their tour tickets in the ship’s theater and receive a small ticket indicating which bus or coach you are to be in when you get outside. Once your bus number is called, you proceed to security where they swipe your room key card into the system and this lets them know that you are off the ship. On return, they swipe you back in again. When we reached the shore in the tender we were greeted by a nice young man named Wind, who was to be our guide for the entire excursion. He was accompanied by our driver, and we proceeded to a wonderfully appointed eight-person coach with leather upholstery, fringe and mirrors everywhere as is the Asian style, plus an air-conditioner that deserved a prize for efficiency and dependability. Our first stop was a site called Big Buddha 15 minutes away. And this Buddha was big. Covered in gold, it dominates a monumental site sitting on the top of a mound and is reached by climbing a staircase with a colorful, striking dragon design leading up to the platform area on which the Buddha sits. Around Big Buddha’s base is a courtyard and vendor area where religious artifacts, clothing and souvenirs are sold. There are also food stalls and small restaurants in which to enjoy a snack or a meal. That said, this is considered a sacred place, so visitors are admonished by large signs to dress politely. Shoulders must be covered, trousers or long shorts must be worn, and no beachwear at any time! After a trip up and down the steps and a stop for a small dish of passion fruit sorbet, we were off to Plai Laem Temple. Wat Plai Laem is a Buddhist temple compound featuring a white 18-arm figure of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy and compassion. The temple is fairly new but the artists who developed it applied techniques that are several centuries old. The next stop was one of what must be dozens of elephant camps on the island. At this stop, those who cheered when Ringling 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Bros. Circus gave up displaying elephants would not have been happy. That said, we had a nice time and the elephants appeared to be well cared for. Two of them played soccer with one of the men from the audience. Well, the elephants kicked the soccer ball and the human tried to block it from getting into the net. Then two ladies and a man, individually, got elephant massages by lying on a rug on the ground with another rug on top and having the elephant bounce its trunk on their back. The man lay on his back and got a more risqué massage. You get the point. Most everyone was laughing. Then, we were off to Nora Beach Resort for lunch, which was delicious. This was followed by a trip to see monkeys who were being trained to scale coconut trees, select the ripe coconuts, spin them on their stem until they broke off and let them fall to the ground. At this stop, we were offered some coconut oil to rub on dry skin. It works, and you can cook with it too. Finally, we went to a rubber tree plantation where we witnessed the gathering of liquid latex and its refinement into rubber mat shaped pieces which are then shipped off for commercial use. It was moderately interesting. It had been a long day and our guide, Wind, got us back to the dock to take the shuttle “home” to our suite. We had time for a hot shower and a 30-minute nap before a spectacular barbeque on the ship’s top deck began. These barbeques are really food festivals. There is so much to choose from that

you almost lose your appetite looking at the buffet, which stretches all the way around the swimming pool! Overnight, we sailed to Laem Chabang, the closest port to Bangkok. We elected to stay close by and not take the almost fourhour trip each way to Bangkok. Instead, we took an excursion that focused on The Sanctuary of Truth wood pavilion, a staggeringly spectacular hand-carved structure that almost cannot be described. Standing 300 feet tall, it was first started in 1981 and financed by Mr. Lek and Mrs. Prapai Viriyahbhun, and is not anticipated to be finished until 2050, if ever. Promotional literature describes The Sanctuary of Truth as featuring meaningful teachings by the philosophers in the ancient days and moral ethics through the works of art. Uncounted laborers work inside the structure and add completed carved pieces to the structure, which is held together without nails. At least 100 or more other skilled wood sculptors, mostly women, work under covered tent-like structures carving new pieces in the finest detail. No one explained to us whether or not there is a master plan for the completed work that currently covers several acres overlooking the sea-side site. It’s worth it to pay a visit. It’s the pride of the Thai nation. We are going to be here for another day and so our next touring objective is Sriracha Tiger Zoo, where we have been before. I just can’t resist the opportunity to once again bottle-feed a tiger kitten. VT

The Daily Double By Janice Carter Levitch Jeaneen Barnhart. Courtesy photo.

This duo of creativity work in tandem and yet each has their own individuality when it comes to the creative process.

ride and tradition are just a couple of characteristics we think of when mentioning the Kentucky Derby Festival. There are a number of festival events going on in the weeks leading up to the first Saturday in May that takes place at Churchill Downs. Dazzling our town with fun and excitement, imagine the thrill you would experience if you were the artist selected to design the Kentucky Derby Festival Poster. Out of the gate, much like a jockey poised on a magnificent thoroughbred anxious to begin a race, one could only hope to be the crowd favorite. Odds are in the favor of this year’s artist to be that crowd favorite with not one but two artists creating a “Daily Double.” Meet the twins, not to be confused with the “Twin Spires,” but the two artists

selected to create the art for this year’s poster. Unless you’ve had blinders on, I would bet you’re already familiar with local artist, Jeaneen Barnhart, and her twin sister, Doreen Barnhart Dehart. These two are also known as the “Tipsy Twins” as their talents spill over into the wine reviews they provide on Facebook. Wines of all varietals and cost are reviewed with an honest palate and a flair for fun. Born out of their fondness for wine, they have attracted more than just your standard following. It could be better described in terms of wine bottle sizes as a “double magnum.” Their lightheartedness allows their following to glimpse inside their artistic world and appreciate how they pair wine and art so effortlessly. This duo of creativity work in tandem and yet each has their own individuality when it comes to the creative process. Doreen 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

takes a strong grip on the reins of the graphic design aspect of projects. Make no mistake, she keeps her trained eye on each project with standards for quality control that keeps any of her work from being released until it’s carefully groomed. And that’s exactly what helps her hit a steady stride with this year’s design, which includes a Fleur de lys mark representing our community and commemorating the events that lead up to the Kentucky Derby. The Fleur de lys is a symbol of French royalty used by King Louis XVI of France. He aided Americans during the Revolutionary War, and Louisville was named after and in honor of him. Doreen’s Fleur de lys mark has a strong silhouette, but as you take a much closer look you discover the hidden treasures within that silhouette. Those treasures are a Pegasus, The Belle of Louisville, hot air balloons, runners, city bridges, bourbon and several more that are beautifully contained within the Fleur de lys. 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The other half of this duo is Jeaneen, who is known for her artistic talent that has created the “Spirit of Equine” series. This year’s poster design is a continuation of that series, yet stands apart with its own strength and grandness. The Pegasus is defined as a mythical winged divine stallion, and one of the most recognized creatures in Greek mythology. The Pegasus Jeaneen created is indeed divine. It towers over the Fleur de lys mark on the poster with its head in a regal nod as a salutation, a salute of honor and respect. Part of Jeaneen’s creative process is to work freehand with oil pastels, allowing creative inspiration to arrive without trying to conjure it up. That inspiration shows refinement and progression as an artist in the Kentucky Derby Festival poster. The sense of design shows restraint and reflects the passion involved, which results in perfection without appearing to be overworked. As they continue working on one of the

most spirited works of art they have ever collaborated on, their biggest challenge is working toward the finish line – which can be defined as making sure everyone is happy. So, as we come down the stretch to the official unveiling of the 2018 Kentucky Derby Festival poster, I can hear the soft roar of the crowd increase as they cheer on the winners crossing the finish line. Jeaneen and Doreen dominate the winner’s circle with their artful creation of the majestic Pegasus wrapped in a blanket of turquoise, muted orange and festive spring tones creating an “angle of incidence” or “straight on” nod to the Fleur de lys mark placed below it on the poster design. Traditionally used to represent French royalty, the Fleur de lys is said to signify perfection, light and life. All these qualities and more are present within the artistic talents of Jeaneen and Doreen. Needless to say, this year’s poster is “in the money” and a winner “across the board.” VT 45

Louisville’s chef Annie Pettry of Decca was one of the selected panel members joining an impressive group of chefs from around the South including Deb Paquette in Nashville; Asha Gomez in Atlanta; Kelly Fields in New Orleans; Michelle Weaver in Charleston; and Ouita Michael in Lexington. The festival organizers stated that they had sought a female-led council to assist with pushing the Southern food narrative deeper in order to continue showcasing the evolution of the region’s culinary diversity. They added that this includes featuring the many women who play an important role in Southern food and drink, yet are not equally represented in the industry. “I am humbled and honored to have been selected for the Council and look forward to representing Louisville and collaborating with this great group of talented women,” said Pettry. “I am excited to highlight not only what we do at Decca, but in the rich culinary community of the South.” The Atlanta Food & Wine festival brings over 10,000 people together from all over the South and country to attend classes and three days of tasting tents. The festival proudly acknowledges that over one-third of the three days is programming, allowing chefs and beverage professionals to bring more than just tastings to attendees. 0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

THE SPEED ART MUSEUM PARTNERS WITH THE ESKENAZI MUSEUM OF ART, INDIANA UNIVERSITY

The Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky and The Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana announce a five-year partnership that will bring hundreds of world-class art treasures to The Speed. The Speed Art Museum will launch this important partnership with a major loan exhibition while the Eskenazi Museum of Art is closed for renovations. Drawn exclusively from The Eskenazi Museum of Art’s permanent collection, the exhibition “Picasso to Pollock: Modern Masterworks” from The Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University will be on view from June 16, 2018 through January 13, 2019. The show will feature more than 70 paintings, sculptures and works on paper, including highlights by Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Henry Moore and Jackson Pollock. Other exhibitions will follow in 2018 and beyond, including one featuring the work of 19th-century American landscape painter Thomas Chambers. ”This partnership is remarkable for several reasons. One is the opportunity to share real masterpieces from one of the country’s great museum collections with a broader audience in Louisville and our region. It is also far longer than most three-month loan agreements, and gives us five years to organize many exhibitions from The Eskenazi while it is closed for renovation (and after), and then gives IU time to share works from The Speed’s collection with students and the people of Bloomington,” said Stephen Reily, Director of The Speed Art Museum. “Museums in the same region some0 1 . 2 5 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

times consider each other competitors, when they should be friends; I am proud to model a new kind of regional partnership between museums.” The Eskenazi Museum of Art’s encyclopedic collection—notable for both breadth and quality—places it alongside the Speed Art Museum as being among the best art museums in the region. “Although The Eskenazi’s holdings of modern art include major works by many of the 20th century’s most significant artists, the collection is not widely known among the general public,” said David Brenneman, Wilma E. Kelley Director of The IU Eskenazi Museum of Art. “The exhibition at The Speed will introduce new audiences in the region to The Eskenazi Museum of Art and its remarkable modern holdings,” added Brenneman. “It also enables us to continue serving Indiana University students and faculty, particularly those affiliated with the IU-Southeast campus in New Albany, during our closure.” “Picasso to Pollock” marks the inauguration of the five-year partnership recently established between the Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University and The Speed Art Museum. The partnership—spearheaded by Jenny McComas, The Eskenazi Museum’s Curator of European and American Art; Erika Holmquist-Wall, The Speed’s Chief Curator; and Mary and Barry Bingham Sr., Curator of European and American Paintings and Sculpture—will facilitate a variety of collection exchanges between the two institutions in the coming years. “When I first proposed an exchange with The Speed during our closure, I did not expect the project to develop into a long-term, multi-exhibition partnership,” said Jenny McComas. “I

am thrilled that we have reached an agreement that will benefit both museums.” “Later this summer, we’re opening ‘American Storybook: The Imaginary Travelogue of Thomas Chambers,’ focusing on a unique figure in the history of American landscape painting,” said Erika Holmquist-Wall. “The Eskenazi has sizable and significant holdings of Chambers’ work, which presents a remarkable opportunity to share these paintings with a new audience.” American Storybook will run from July 21, 2018 through January 6, 2019. In addition, The Speed will be integrating key masterworks from The Eskenazi’s collection into the permanent collection galleries. “Following The Eskenazi’s reopening, loans and exhibitions borrowed from The Speed Art Museum will enhance our programming and augment our permanent collection installations,” said Brenneman. “The partnership benefits both museums, not only by raising the profile of both The Speed and The Eskenazi in the region, but also by facilitating our respective audiences’ access to new works of art at a fraction of the cost normally associated with major loans or traveling exhibitions,” added Reily. Similar to the Speed’s free admission policy for University of Louisville students, faculty and staff, Indiana University students, faculty and staff will also receive free admission with a photo ID while the exhibitions are on view. Extensive additional programming and events will accompany the “Picasso to Pollock: Modern Masterworks” from the Eskenazi Museum of Art, Indiana University exhibition.

She also served as president of the Louisville chapter of the Kentucky Restaurant Association. She was a member

of St. John Paul II Parish, The Thoroughbreds and a charter member of The Kentucky Derby Museum.

Having no children of her own, she was mother to her 13 cherished nieces and nephews and grandmother to many of their children. She will be sorely missed by each of them as well as by her many dear, dear friends. Her husband, Gregory Burton Dean, preceded her in death in November 2016. Darlene is survived by three siblings: Ken C. Haner, Jean Haner King and Bob Haner Sr., all of Louisville. Her funeral service was held on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 10 a.m. at St. John Paul II, 3042 Hikes Lane. Following her funeral mass, burial was held at Calvary Cemetery. Memorial gifts may be made in Darlene’s memory to Sacred Heart Academy, 3175 Lexington Rd.

pets of the week Hunter is a one-year-old black Labrador mix who came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owner could no longer care for me. Now he’s on the hunt for a happy and forever home! Hunter is also on the hunt for a person who will help mold his exuberant and extraordinary personality into a mature and perfect pet. Food is Hunter’s absolute FAVORITE! He also really loves people and would probably do best as an only pet, but he is willing to meet your doggies to see if they can be friends. Hunter would also do best in a home with older children who can keep up with his play style and quirks. Underneath his rambunctious outer layer beats the heart of a sweetheart dog who loves belly rubs and wants nothing more than to please you. Hunter is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on shots. Could you be the one he’s been hunting for?! Come meet Hunter today at the Springhurst Feeders Supply, 9485 Brownsboro Road. Garfield is a four-year-old Domestic Longhair mix who’s looking for a family to love. He came to the Kentucky Humane Society from an overcrowded shelter and can’t wait to settle down! This gorgeous boy got his name because of his resemblance to the original Garfield. He has a beautiful and long orange coat that leaves all the other kitties very jealous. Who wouldn’t be though?! This loving boy is playful and hopes his new home will be filled with cat toys and treats. Could you be that home? Garfield is neutered, micro-chipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Now all he needs is you! You can visit Garfield at our East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. For more on Garfield or any of our adoptable pets, please call 502366-3355 or visit kyhumane.org.
