Off Market Properties BUYERS

Buyers are rightfully frustrated with low inventory and the competitive bidding process. We’re here to help. Through the first quarter of 2022, Bass + Bringardner has successfully located and secured several “off market” homes for our clients.

SELLERS

Sellers are considering selling to obtain top dollar for their home within this market. Minimal inventory and still low interest rates have driven prices to new highs. If you’re thinking of selling, but not interested in going “on the market,” we offer options. Bass + Bringardner has sold many of our high-end properties using one-time showing agreements. We can help you navigate this new territory. Let’s be honest, this is an unusual market. Bass + Bringardner offers years of experience, expertise and history of success to help you make the right real estate decision. Let’s have a conversation!

MELISSA HUFF Owner | Mamili & Mad Hatter 502

MAD HATTER 502 GRAND OPENING:

Tuesday, 3/29/22 (Only open through Derby!)

HOURS: same as Mamili (view store hours on social media)

Melissa Huff started Mad Hatter 502 in 2018, after her friends, that she had made hats for over the years, encouraged her to open her own store. So, she opened a pop up store in Prospect in 2019 and was so successful that she decided to open a year-round store that in addition to hats, carries a variety of women’s clothing, jewelry, accessories, men’s and youth merchandise as well as home accessories and gifts. On March 7, 2020, her new store, Mamili, had it's grand opening in the NuLu Marketplace. Unfortunately, she had to close a week later because of covid, but finally opened back up after May. “It’s been a challenge from day one, but now that we’ve made it through such a tough time, I’m excited about what the future holds for not just Mamili and Mad Hatter 502, but for all the businesses in downtown Louisville,” says Melissa. Located in the ever expanding and growing NuLu area, she says she is off to a great start in 2022 and looks forward to a record setting year. Due to the growing success, Melissa acquired additional space behind Mamili in the NuLu Marketplace to have a separate space for Mad Hatter 502. Mad Hatter 502 will be open full-time starting March 29 through Derby and the rest of the year will be by appointment only. So, whether you are looking for KY Derby hats and attire for yourself and/or your mate, or you’re looking to update your wardrobe, or perhaps pick up some unique gift item and home accessories, between Mamili and Mad Hatter 502, you’ll find everything you need. Melissa, her manager Rachel Price, her assistant manager Maddie Sennett, and her awesome team will be there to provide the top notch service that keeps shoppers coming back for more. You can shop for Mamili merchandise and Mad Hatter 502 hats and fascinators on Mamili’s website, www.mamili502.com.

To view and order hats and fascinators, go to www.mamili502.com and click on Mad Hatter 502. Mad Hatter 502 is located directly behind Mamili in Suite 102. 826 E Main St. Louisville, KY 40206 Located in NuLu Marketplace

hile writing this letter, my mind is filled with thoughts and memories of Derby that take me back to when I was a youngster visiting my cousins. We could hang out in their neighborhood without much concern that the streets could be dangerous, which they weren’t in those days. On one particular visit to my cousin’s house, a group of cousins and siblings, probably eight or so, decided to take a walk down the street to the neighboring special place better known as Churchill Downs. Way back when it was safe for us to roam this particular neighborhood that bordered the gates of the threshold of Churchill Downs, being adventurous and curious youngsters, we managed to cross through the gates and get onto the racetrack and run around as if we were the thoroughbreds running in the Kentucky Derby. The entirety of Churchill Downs was much smaller, and hard to believe in today’s world that a band of innocent youngsters had such access. What a fantastic and authentic memory. I think about the possibility of doing that in today’s world. I realize it is possible but probably not the best decision to make, given that Churchill Downs has grown exponentially since that time. I also remember the original Turf Club with its dark wood paneling and oil paintings of the winning jockeys on display to honor their legacy. There was a small check-in desk with a very proper-looking woman making sure everyone that entered the Turf Club doors was a member or soon to be and that they were adequately dressed according to the dress code. There were banquettes covered in deep forest green button-tufted leather. The bar could probably seat 10 people or less. I remember the first time I wandered through those doors. I knew someday I would be a member. The first Derby I experienced there was thrilling. We had a table on the turf terrace, and as the day went on, celebrity after celebrity began to arrive and take their seats. One year John Goodman sang My Old Kentucky Home for the surrounding crowd; you can imagine the 34

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

applause when he finished. Another year Kid Rock sat at the table next to us in his chartreuse green suit, nearby the Backstreet Boys gathered looking like a million bucks in their tailor-made suits and perfectly coiffed haircuts. Dixie Carter, James Earl Jones, Anna Nicole Smith, P Diddy, Gene Simmons, lead singer of the band Kiss, Geraldo Rivera, Larry King, country singer Travis Tritt and so many more would be seated near our table on the outdoor turf terrace. Photographers would swarm around them clambering to snap that one particular photo. For a few moments, it made us feel famous too. May your experience of the 148th Kentucky Derby create memories of a lifetime. I’m certainly looking forward to being back at the track and, once again, crossing fingers for luck, placing my winning bets. Thank you for your continued support of our city’s iconic premier publication VOICE Louisville.

Cheers,

Letter from the

Editor

T

he perceptive words of John Steinbeck greet you on a wall as you enter The Turf Club at Churchill Downs: “The Kentucky Derby, whatever it is – a race, an emotion, a turbulence, an explosion – is one of the most beautiful and violent and satisfying things I have ever experienced.” I think Steinbeck managed, as he often did, to describe the Derby in a way many of us struggle to define. I can’t help but think of how many of those words could also accurately describe the process of planning, editing and publishing each issue of the VOICE. A great deal of preparation and passion is poured into what we hope looks effortless, stylish and celebratory in the end – like the Derby, we aspire to reflect the best of Louisville. Penny Chenery, the owner of Triple Crown winner Secretariat, offered a similar observation when she said, “Waiting for the Derby to start is the longest day of your life…It’s just a unique time of thrill and tension and worry.” Each month we load all our work into the starting gate, and once we’re off, the rest happens very fast, but is largely out of our control at that point. It isn’t lost on me that a horse is only three once. Preparation begins from the day they are born and they only have one chance at the Kentucky Derby. Luckily for us, we get to run this exhilarating race with our readers each month, but almost no other carries the significance of our Derby preview issue. I first moved to Louisville with my family when I was in the 4th grade and instinctually resented the hype leading up to the Derby, especially the references to “My Old Kentucky Home,” because it made me even more homesick for my friends back in Illinois. But what I’ve learned since is that whether a born Kentuckian or not, the Derby, and in the city of Louisville by extension, has a way of enveloping you and

36

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

forcing you to feel emotions previously left untapped. Now when I hear that song, I’m one of the (incredibly uncharacteristic) criers. The pride I feel for this place, these traditions, the work we produce through the efforts of this small team at the VOICE is – yes, though turbulent at times – can best be described as deeply satisfying. It feels like Home. One of the great traditions of Derby is brought to us by the Kentucky Derby Festival – the hot air balloon race! This vibrant custom sparked our creative minds when planning for our Derby fashion editorial. The Derby is important to different people for different reasons, but when you live in Louisville, Kentucky, it is part of

you. I hope VOICE Louisville, and our subsequent coverage of all the festivities, will become another part of the way you celebrate our city’s finest hour. With gratitude,

Alexandra Hepfinger Editor in Chief

pring in Kentucky is something special. But this year, it feels even more exciting than ever. After nesting in our private abodes through the cold weather, it is time to shed our winter skin and emerge ready for Spring. But this year, we are ready not only for the return of warm weather but also for social society’s rebirth. Derby Season is upon us, and we are eager to burst forth in full bloom, frocked and floral, ready to bask in all that is debaucherous and debonaire. This year, we set out to harness and celebrate the fun, color and creativity of Derby fashion by showcasing some exceptional hot air balloons. Our search for the perfect accent to our fashion feature led us to Captain Michael Stinson with Xclusive Balloons and transatlantic aeronaut Maximilian Bodenbender of Louisville Balloon Rides. In true Derby fashion, we got to experience the “thrill of the bet” by attempting to pick a date in March where there would be no rain or windy weather that would sweep away the sets. Thankfully, we truly hit the trifecta when we stepped on set with decorated models, just the right amount of soft sunlight filtering through the tree branches, and the quintessential light breeze that makes for a perfect spring day. While Captain Stinson and Mr. Bodenbender prepped the balloons, hair artist Ana Perez, make-up artist Becca Schell, and “hat doctor” Ilana Kogan flexed their creative magic and got our gorgeous models ready to showcase their best Derby looks. It truly takes a dedicated team to keep the fashion circus elevated and efficient. We are excited to present a momentous effort for the sake of fashion and to honor the most exciting two minutes in sports by showcasing the finest attire available. May you begin to daydream about what Derby fashion strikes your fancy as you drift along and take in the beautiful images in our fashion layout. Bon voyage! APRIL 2022

hat is the best way to travel with your Derby hat box, race day attire, tuxedo and gala gown? On a private flight with Crew Aviation, of course! The Kentucky Derby has a rich tradition of fashion. The founder of The Kentucky Derby, Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. and his wife encouraged women to attend the race by requesting full morning dress and as a time to socialize with friends. The tradition continues today with women and men dressing in upscale, glamorous and trendy fashions. When traveling to Louisville for the Derby, Kentucky Oaks, or any events leading up to the first Saturday in May, your “best bet” for the fastest time is to book a private jet charter with Crew Aviation. Arrive in style, on your schedule, safely and securely. In the weeks leading up to the Derby, both commercial and private flights into Louisville will fill up quickly. Plan ahead and ensure that you do not miss any excitement surrounding the greatest two minutes in sports! Start your private flight on a Crew Aviation aircraft with a Mint Julep or glass of champagne while the crew secures your luggage and hat box.

entucky’s signature drink - it’s cold and minty with a touch of sweetness and a kick of bourbon. You know the famous Mint Julep, but do you know how to make it? (Pssst. The ready-topour mix doesn’t count!) If there’s no spanking involved in your recipe, you may be doing it wrong.

APRIL 2022


The Kentucky Derby Museum has curated an experience where you learn about the history of the Mint Julep – and how to make one yourself. After graduating “Mint Julep University,” guests are experts on this famous Derby drink. This 30-minute class lets you imbibe while learning to make the cocktail, and also includes a favorite Kentucky dessert: Bourbon Balls. The seasoned Mint Julep University instructor leads guests through each fun step of making a Mint Julep, including making simple syrup, using a mallet to crush ice in a Lewis bag (which helps to keep the ice dry), pouring Old Forester over the crushed ice and spanking the mint. Spanking or slapping the mint (the instructor will show you how!), gently releases the oils of the mint leaves, where many will argue that muddling might bruise the mint leaves. Mint Julep University isn’t a pretentious bourbon class. It’s lively, interactive and fun, garnished with some history. Perfect to entertain out of town guests, clients or for a bachelor or bachelorette party! Legend has it that mint was planted outside the clubhouse of Churchill Downs in Louisville so that Mint Juleps could be served at the first Kentucky Derby in 1875. Each year, almost 120,000 Mint Juleps are served over the two-day period of the Oaks and Derby. The founder of the Kentucky Derby, Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark, apparently served one to Polish actress Helena Modjeska in 1877, and she enjoyed it very much. Check out a special edition of Mint Julep University on April 16, which will be open to the public, $25 per person. Looking for other unique bourbon experiences?

n a life well-lived, all of us long for those moments where we find ourselves in front of a special something: something that sings to our souls, encourages us to create and ignites our inner magic. It was in such poetic sentiment that five Louisvillians, attracted by the love of both fashion and art, stood together in front of an incredible idea and, with passion, creativity and diligence, together breathed life into Louisville’s most communally expressive and exciting art events - KMAC Couture. Self-proclaimed as the Fab Five, together, they demonstrated what can be achieved when people are left to edit and curate their own ideas. While embracing the museum’s mission to connect people to art and creative practice, they each experienced the healing powers of living that creative process together. In celebration of the tenth anniversary of KMAC Couture, the Fab Five have been reunited as honorary chairs. Their greatest joy is that their collaboration is, in essence, an annual homage of love for art in Louisville. They are elated that their endeavor has become the museum’s most prominent fundraiser to date. A commonly held idea is that the charm of Louisville lies in its humble approachability and that small encounters here can have tremendous ripple effects. In 2010, at one of the many milieus of fundraisers that make up the tapestry of life here, I sported a pair of legendary alligator bananaheeled Prada pumps. Fantastic and funky, they caught the eye of an acquaintance of mine (KMAC board president Elizabeth

Mays), and in this instant, my kicky steps became the soul inspiration for what she would later title KMAC Couture. I was not receptive to her original idea of having me chair a traditional fashion show. Still, in the Fall of 2011, her original statement had blossomed into a wearable art show, I chomped at the bit. After introducing me to the board and interim director Martha Slaughter, the museum hurriedly sent a press release out to the community seeking submissions. The goal was that the new year would be rung with my boots on the ground with sketches in hand. A three and half month deadline to pull off a huge wearable art show was a tremendous undertaking, and in the beginning, I was in the pilot seat flying solo. Just a few years back, I moved home after over two

Milliken when an aura of graceful confidence sauntered in, introduced herself and then directly joined me in partnership. Without mentioning our experiences or qualifications, we calmly and methodically began walking the gallery floor, weaving together a vision for KMAC Couture. It was apparent it was a good fit. We parted that day elated, organized and with a solid unified plan. Janice’s parting words were, “This is going to be huge one day, and I want to see it walk down the center of Main Street.” We confiscated the conference room at KMAC as our studio and began laying bricks the following day. Janice’s many powerful talents revealed themselves quietly in the days that followed. She had come from a solid career in fashion. Having signed as a model at 18, she eventually rose to co-own her own agency, the Cosmo Model and Talent Agency in Louisville. Her contacts for models, photographers and stylists were invaluable. She had garnered so much respect in the industry that everyone she reached out to was more than willing to gift their talents and time. She also was our queen of garnering public excitement. Daily she photographed and filmed our creative process and blasted it out on Youtube and Facebook. She and I both knew this event, in particular, would demonstrate the possibilities that can happen in Louisville when allowed to color outside the lines, and Janice’s goal was to have everyone feel a part of it. If stress elicits fear and passion generates flow, we were in a complete flow state. In

decades living between New York, London and Beirut, and though I had enjoyed my fair share of fashion weeks, I was not naive and knew we needed an industry insider to come on board. I was confident that my experience in Beirut, where I worked with several artists, helping them curate and exhibit solo and communal shows, gave me a solid place in the game. Still, Couture needed a whole team of players. So Elizabeth Mays and I started casting nets, fishing the pond for talent, and our catch proved very rich. I simply will never forget the sublime moment when Janice Carter Levitch Humphrey walked into my life.

the studio, fueled by optimistic energy that was perfectly conducive for creativity, there was always a free-floating colliding of ideas. “I remember walking into that room with stuff everywhere and just instantly feeling so happy,” said Kris Thompson after she joined the team. “It was all very inspiring, and it made me not only want to partake but to do a great job.” Thompson had recently moved back to Louisville after 25 years in Los Angeles because she wanted to raise her daughter in her hometown. She had left behind an incredible career as a stylist and sold her co-ownership in a highend vintage flagship store on Abbot Kinney, where she had carried her own clothing line. Her creative passions had not been left in California, and she was eager to sink her teeth into something fabulous. All we had to do was tell her we needed more art and her wheels started turning. “I kept remembering all the artists I had known in the 90s here, and I just started brainstorming,” she said. She directly started reaching out to people, and one of the first to respond was the acclaimed Anne Peabody, who would send from New York her piece titled “Screened Porch.” Elizabeth Dodd had a similar emotional response when she first joined the team. “That first meeting was like all our meetings. If I ever walked in with a negative energy space, I walked out feeling awesome every time.” Ironically Dodd remembers before her first meeting with me sitting in her car with apprehension. She was a lawyer, a wife, a mother of three daughters under the age of 7, and involved with several prominent causes in town, but Couture seemed BIG. There was always a motivational intensity present in the group, and Dodd’s angst melted the minute she felt it. She had always wanted to be a part of

something cool and edgy for her city, and Couture proved to be a creative awakening for her as she would go on to take the helm after year one and would chair for several more years. As things began to heat, we realized a months-long occupation of the conference room was not ideal for the museum. Though our departure from the KMAC space into our homes pulled us from particular support, the move would ultimately make our creative process cohesive and independent. Guy Tedesco joined our team in the last days. I remember him boldly walking in and introducing himself, pulling out his sketch pad and quickly drawing his Wood Nymph and his Wooded Bride. “Every couture fashion show should end with a bridal garment,” he exclaimed. The drawings were incredible. His submission would eventually become the show’s grand finale. Still, his history of fashion design working in New York for Bill Blass, Albert Nipon and Scassi was impressive, and his present life as an accomplished sculptor made him a voice we needed. Having been commissioned worldwide, including a bronze of St Francis of Assisi that sat in the Vatican, his natural gift for us was his desire to help connect the community to art and support its artists. He loved Couture’s platform. The show started taking form with sketches laid out all over my living room and Janice’s with mounting artistic supplies. The five of us spent our days meeting the artists in their studios. We visited Manual High School, and Alana Afford’s fiber arts students became a pivotal part of the history of Couture. (Her former student, Molly King’s Condom Gown, acted as my muse from the very beginning.) In the studios at the Kentucky College of Art and Design, we witnessed a

few of the submitting artists, including Ed Taylor’s ‘Garden Glamazons,’ taking shape. We got to know the artists and each piece intimately. The show was surely coming alive for us, but KMAC was in a period of a significant transition. A new era of positive change was being ushered in by Milliken, but he had only recently arrived as Director, and the diversions at the museum kept all attention off of us. This rare autonomy would prove to be a serendipitous benefit to our creative process, but it also made the collaboration much more personal than for most committee teams. “We had an incredibly long leash,” said Dodd. I remember that at first, it felt strange to be so distanced from the museum, but without intimidation, we held tight to their mission and just went out into Louisville and garnered art. This independence dynamic created a sense of responsibility that the show’s success or failure would ultimately reflect us personally. So it stitched us together in a very tight manner that is unique to many other fundraisers. With freedom from outside critique, though always with KMAC in heart, we just straight out created the entire template and show. Janice worked with Nick Carter creating the striking headpiece for the launch poster and shot it in her living room. The storyboard collaborated in my living room, as was the music and sound with Jamie See Tai. We focused on runway design, swag bags, the pre-party and sponsors but our main focus was always the artists. There were no stipends at the time, and the artists were struggling, and we tried as best to support them. Matthew Tyldesley came to help the artists perfect their looks with wigs and hair designs. Two weeks before the show, we honored all the artists and creative contributors in my home, and the five of us alone were the only representatives of KMAC present. We were great ambassadors for the cause, but it was around this time that we recognized that we felt the show had also become our own. Along with all the artists, we had given the creative process our hearts, our vulnerabilities, and in essence, KMAC Couture felt to be a personal debut for us all. After the intensity of the dress rehearsals and the pre-show prep, the backstage

swirling with the energy of artists, models and stylists chattering and scrambling to perfect their works, it was uncanny how instantaneously the noise stilled when it was showtime, and they were asked to line up. The lights dimmed and then rose on the runway, the five of us strategically separated in support positions, and slowly the art began to fill the gallery. Each piece was a gifted expression from the souls backstage, eliciting the reactions that only art can. The audience was held the entire time a-washed with expressions of awe. When the grandeur of the violin of the Wooded Bride entered, and with the DJ washing the gallery with the sound of a Kentucky spring storm, she closed out the show with an aura of powerful hope. A hope for KMAC, the future of KMAC Couture and the relevancy of art in the city. The crowd rose to their feet, cheering uproariously, and Couture’s success felt rapturous. Louisville felt alive and as the five of us stood speechless watching the crowd applaud and, searching for each other with our eyes, overcome with emotion, a deep pulsing of liberating pride pumped through our veins. v KMAC Couture X Art Walks the Runway 7 p.m. April 16 KMAC Museum 715 Main St. Louisville KY, 40202 502.589.0102 kmacmuseum.org APRIL 2022

elcome, everyone! Thanks again for joining us here at the Daily Libations column! This month, I interviewed 8th generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe. I had the opportunity of joining Freddie at the James B. Beam Distillery to discuss the many changes it has undergone and the plans for the future. The Beam family is well known for their bourbon-making, and the family tradition is vital to Freddie. It is astounding how this brand continues to evolve yet stay true to form in their quality of products. Without further adieu, let’s get going with some great questions.

Freddie, so what was it like growing up in the industry? You know it’s funny. I tell people a lot of times I didn’t really know much about what I was growing up around. A good thing that my family does an excellent job of is to let children be children. I just looked at it as my granddaddy hosted many parties for the people he worked with and held a lot of dinners. More particularly, he would talk about the whiskey. Looking back, there are so many cherished moments. It was great to grow up around the industry because many of the things my granddad would be talking about are the things that I am upholding, such as the legacy or the quality of the product. 70

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The way we make our whiskey is very particular to our family, and we have stayed by our values that make whiskey-making special. I listened to him talk about the importance of high-quality grains, tasting the barrels and letting them age until they are ripe. He used the analogy of apples, a lot of ripe apples. So a lot of the things I would hear him talk about as a young child is what I talk about today as a distiller. It means a lot to me, and our family is very close, so my children are often around the distillery. We often have meals at the distillery, or some of the executives visit the house. They are very much a part of what we have going on. I think it’s very important that you get exposure as a child, and growing up around the industry, I can now recall some of the things he would say that add many rich colors to those memories.

How was it realizing that you wanted to be involved in the family business? Did you recognize this at an early age? Not necessarily. When I was young, until my granddad passed, I talked about being a lawyer. And that came from him telling me I liked to argue. He’d say you’d be a good lawyer; you like to argue with the wall. That was my curiosity, and I asked a lot of questions. I was asking why things are done a certain way. So I think curiosity as a distiller is important. He passed away when I was sixteen years old. A tremendous number of people paid their respects to the family and me. I heard stories about his impact on people’s lives, and it touched me that he and our family influenced that many people. So the more I understood about what it means to be Jim Beam’s great-great-grandson my career choice shifted when I was around eighteen years old. I started to have

a genuine interest thinking it could be ok to be a part of the business. Growing up around there and fishing as a young boy at the distillery with my grandad and dad, it became like a second home. Something I always knew was there. When the opportunity finally came, it was easy to put the pieces together and realize what it could mean for me. As I moved into my young adult life, it became clearer that it was the right decision.

What can you tell our readers about the Fred B. Noe Education Center? This is brand new, from what I gather. We have created a new facility called the Fred B. Noe Distillery, and within that, there are pieces that touch back on education. I created the apprenticeship program and then took it to the University of Kentucky to help us get it off the ground. This is education for our employees, customers or consumers. There is a very nice lobby area where we can host customers and consumers alike to educate them deeper on whiskey-making. We partnered with the University of Kentucky and created the James B. Beam Institute. There is a big tie into the future of the education of whiskey makers and bourbon makers alike in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Because of this partnership, you can take classes on distilling and potentially earn a degree in distilling. The focus is on education and a place for research to come together and for people to start to see the opportunities. People might think it’s myself and a handful of folks that run the facility. There are jobs within the industry such as sales, procurement, finance and more. The industry has opportunities for folks coming fresh out of the university. It’s an opportunity for us to educate people on the possible careers available. The distillery’s name is the Fred B. Noe Distillery, and everything centered around that is in the eye of education for the betterment of the bourbon industry going

forward. I’m incredibly proud to be a strong driving force for the future and education of the future of bourbon, which starts right here on our campus. Fred B. Noe Distillery has an education classroom within it. As a full-scale operating distillery, we will do research and development and make a couple of our more prominent products there. It’s also the place where we are educating our workforce and will host students in the future in the classroom we have. The James B. Beam Institute is a partnership with the University of Kentucky, focusing on the future of bourbon. Education, research and responsible consumption are the three main pillars that we are focusing on. This is held at the University of Kentucky, and we also have the capability at our distillery to host them with this partnership.

The research & development barrels are amazing! Are these all your creations, and any chance of tasting these any time soon? Some of the work I started helped us develop this facility. There will be opportunities for tasting in the future. The thing about bourbon making is you make it one day, and it will be a VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

minimum of four years before it will become available. There will be opportunities on campus with some VIP experiences we are working on to taste this whiskey. Also, potentially other places on campus, there are quite a few opportunities at events where we might pull out some of these special barrels we have worked on to share with the world.

Wow, how about that distillation column! That’s probably one of the most excellent-looking stills I have ever seen. Do you all actually use it in production, or is it for research and development? We are making all of our Booker’s and Baker’s productions move to the new facility. Some new, not necessarily released yet whiskey that we are already producing are also moving there. We are dedicating nine weeks to experimentation and research. The rest of the time, it will be an operational facility working on Booker’s and Baker’s production, which are two bourbons we have.

welcome people into the industry that maybe haven’t been bourbon drinkers. The Golden Hour cocktail is definitely one that, if you’re new to bourbon, I would recommend.

In terms of bourbon, I see zero slow down across the US and the world. Do you think we can continue with the trend? There is a lot of innovation, and after speaking with you, I can tell you’re one of the guys on the forefront. Any trends you think we should be paying attention to? Blended whiskey in America got a bad reputation for a long time. The blend of straight whiskeys or bourbons is something to look for. When you’re bringing two great whiskeys and putting them together, the flavor profile you can create is almost exponential compared to those two individually. That’s the point of blending. Things that hone in on the craft of whiskey making, whether it’s the differentiation of grains and barrelling, I think there is a great opportunity right now because people are very curious about the flavors in bourbon and, in particular, American whiskey. There are opportunities to explore these areas to deliver bourbons and whiskeys that keep bringing people into this rich history-driven industry. We are excited to be at the forefront of education and the industry’s future. I get to preserve it for the next generation of distillers. Everything we have going on campus puts us in the leadership role to help the industry move forward well into the future.

Everything that went into Basil Hayden still goes into the new bottle as well. Some of our work in this facility will focus on the Basil Hayden brand. Basil Hayden is a bourbon that is very much about approachability and hopefully brings new consumers into the bourbon industry. The Golden Hour is a cocktail we serve on campus. It’s a very nice cocktail that a lot of people can enjoy. It has a nice flavor to it, not too sweet. You can still taste the Basil Hayden which I think is very important. You don’t want to mask the flavor, you want to compliment the flavor. We use Basil Hayden to

Interiors has allowed us to glimpse into his home, Chanticleer Hill, in Harbour Island, Bahamas. A Lexington-based interior designer, Carter’s projects range from houses on horse farms to a tropical island oasis on Lyford Cay and Harbour Island, Bahamas.

Carter is known for having lots of color throughout his projects, and his home is no different. There are robin egg blue-colored stairs, vibrant green palm leaves and chartreuse beams lining the primary bedroom’s ceiling. “I love saturated colors that almost feel neutral. I think there are certain colors like a chartreuse acidic green and a pale pink (particularly on a ceiling) that work with everything,” says Carter. “I like to use color, but I don’t like to beat people over the head with color. It’s more of an accent to me, and sometimes it’s a strong accent, and sometimes it’s very subtle.” The fuschia sea fan accents the wood bookcase it dangles from in the living room; don’t forget to glance up to see a carved wooden Southeast Asian elephant. Chanticleer Hill was designed to feel casually elegant and refined. The works of art on display throughout the home grandly evoke these characteristics. Every space features astonishing artwork like a flattened magenta parasol above the plush white sofa in the den and a vividly colorful painting by a mid20th century French artist above the bar cart — Carter’s favorite 82

piece. “The house was renovated over about a year, and it was a process at times, so we had some time between the purchase of the property, the design and the renovation to collect a lot of really beautiful things,” Carter explained. Aside from the artwork, Carter’s home is full of furniture that catches your eye as soon as you see them. For example, take the Noguchi paper lantern above the dining room table. “He was a Japanese paper designer that created these amazing light sculptures. It’s a classic, but it’s also kind of an unexpected classic. Of course, you can’t hurt it, so that was certainly a big consideration. But I think more than anything it’s just the impact of having a big circular globe lantern,” explained Carter. The soft glow of the lantern almost mimics the moon’s glimmer on soft white sand (or pale pink sand if you’re on Harbour Island). To the left of the dining room table sits another attention-grabbing piece, what Carter describes as an “island version of a French console table.” The table is crafted out of lacquered driftwood purchased on a trip to Los Angeles.

You’ll detect two elements throughout the home that flow from room to room: rattan furniture and limed pecky cypress walls. Around the dining room table, notice the island-chic rattan chairs, and on the porch, a rattan couch sits sandwiched between blush pink columns begging for someone to curl up with their favorite beach read and enjoy the weather. Rattan is durable, and “it’s one of those materials that feel right in the Bahamas. It’s natural, comfortable and has a very relaxed vibe,” explained Carter. APRIL 2022

The limed pecky cypress walls clad the guesthouse walls, a half bath in the main home and the front porch’s ceiling. “Wallpaper fits in a fancier place in the Bahamas like Lyford Cay; it doesn’t fit an island to me. So, we didn’t use any wallpaper,” says Carter. Thus enters pecky cypress, Carter’s favorite tropical material to use because it’s naturally organic and it repels insects. “We had the pecky cypress limed, which is when they paint it all white, sanded all the white paint off, so the paint is left only in the crevices, and

then they wax the whole thing. It’s a lot of effort to make it look effortless,” Carter laughed. His design style can be defined as making the old new by using a mix of objects from different periods and places. Carter didn’t plan this project entirely but spent time purchasing artwork and furniture to make the home look lived in and less like a showroom. “I’m always trying to take something and make it feel a little bit unexpected,” said Carter. For clients, the project needs to reflect the owner’s VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

personality, not his own, so he utilizes clients’ artwork or furniture rather than creating something entirely from scratch. Chanticleer Hill has clear reflections of his personality in the artwork, block print fabrics and relaxed linen; each corner of the home shows off a little bit of Carter’s personality.

WINE & PAIRINGS

La Crema Paired With The Kentucky Derby Conversation with Chris Jackson, Proprietor for Jackson Family Wines in Sonoma County, California By ELIZABETH SCINTA | Photos provided by JACKSON FAMILY WINES 92

n the heart of Sonoma County, California lies La Crema Estate at Saralee’s Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. La Crema Viñera, meaning “best of the vine,” is one of Jackson Family Wines’ many wineries scattered throughout the world. In 2021, Churchill Downs Racetrack announced a fouryear partnership where La Crema and Kendall-Jackson wines are the Preferred Wines of the Kentucky Derby. The partnership also brings to light the Jackson family’s connection with the horse world through Stonestreet Farm, their successful equestrian racing and breeding stables in Lexington, Kentucky. So, with the 148th Kentucky Derby around the corner, we asked Chris Jackson, the proprietor

APRIL 2022

for Jackson Family Wines, to help our readers become more familiar with the wine they’ll be imbibing during the fastest two minutes in sports.

What benefits are there from having the La Crema vineyards in the Russian River Valley? The home of La Crema and the heart of Sonoma County Wine Country, the Russian River Valley American Viticultural Area, is one of the premier wine-growing regions in the world. One unique element of the area is the Pacific Ocean’s maritime influence which moderates the warm days of the growing season, allowing grapes to ripen and develop slowly. The unique weather patterns combined with a diversity of well-draining soils make the appellation

well suited to produce cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a focus of La Crema wine production for over 40 years.

What are the prominent flavors in La Crema Chardonnay and Pinot Noir? Both wines are vibrant and concentrated with juicy yet balanced acidity and have a lingering finish. You’ll find flavors of pear, tangerine and honeydew melon on the Chardonnay, while the Pinot Noir offers notes of strawberry, boysenberry and sassafras.

For those celebrating the Kentucky Derby at home this year, can you tell me about some pairings that would fit well with the wines included in the Kentucky Derby Wine pack? The wines from the Russian River that you’ll enjoy in the Kentucky Derby wine pack are all incredibly food-friendly. For the Kentucky Derby, we scoured the Jackson Family Wines Season Cookbook, created by our executive chefs Justin Wangler and Tracey Shepos Cenami, for recipes that closely celebrate traditional southern fare. Our recommendations include: • A Cheese plate and accompaniments and deviled eggs with Russian River Chardonnay • Fried chicken tenders or pork belly sliders with Russian River Pinot Noir • Dark chocolate budino or dark berry cobbler with Russian River Brut Rose

How will the Kentucky Derby experience be elevated by having a glass of La Crema throughout all the Derby festivities? The Kentucky Derby is the most prestigious horse race in the world. As the preferred wine of the Kentucky Derby, La Crema is a perfect fit for this event that brings together the best of the best. Beyond the fastest two minutes in sports, the Kentucky Derby is a mecca of entertainment, fashion and behind-the-scenes storytelling. Visitors of the legendary Churchill Downs Racetrack on May 7 will be able to enjoy the La Crema Experience, a newly renovated traveling tasting salon. This elevated and interactive experience will offer an opportunity to sample La Crema’s expressive Sonoma Coast and Monterey wines in an elegant and welcome setting reminiscent of La Crema’s estate property in Sonoma County. v For more information on La Crema, visit lacrema.com.

s Derby season approaches, we find ourselves attending more events throughout April and May. The top question I know women will be asking, besides “What am I going to wear?” is “What the heck do I do with my hair?” A daunting task to take on by ourselves, the best answer to this question is: book an appointment with a professional stylist! We spoke with stylist Brianne Windell at TRIM NuLu about their services and recommendations for the Derby season.

What hairstyles are most popular for the Derby? For guests wearing hats, hair that is down and styled with loose curls is most popular so that the hair is still visible. For guests wearing fascinators, updos are trendy, focusing on the hairpiece.

What hair coloring is most popular for the Derby? Face framing highlights are very popular, as they add some dimension and a pop of color and brightness.

How do you style a customer’s hair differently, knowing they will be wearing a hat? When customers are wearing a hat, making sure they have long-lasting curls or sleek, smooth ends is very important. We use Redken products to maintain their styles. We are focusing less on root volume and more on lasting styles!

he Speed Ball is the single most important event of the year for the Speed Museum. Support generated from the Ball helps us to bring incredible exhibitions, steward our permanent art collection, provide education and outreach programs to an expanding audience, deliver meaningful and relevant programs that help us to build community and connections through art and invite everyone to be part of this work. It was an honor to have three couples co-chairing the Speed Ball this year. This year’s Ball was a record breaking success in attendance and revenue with the leadership of Carol and Tracy Farmer, Douglas Riddle and Stephen Lewis, Brookes and Greg Pope and the Speed Ball Committee they recruited. Carol and Tracy Farmer are based in Midway, Kentucky and the Speed’s commitment to our role as the state’s Museum, they are passionate about the Speed’s work expanding the reach of

our education programs to counties across the Commonwealth. Bittners has been involved since the early 1970’s setting the design standards for the first Speed Ball. Douglas Riddle and the team at Bittners are carrying on that tradition with the leadership of Ron Wolz as head of design for the Ball. Wolz has led the team for the past 20 years inspiring the décor and feel of the Speed Ball. Greg and Brookes Pope are important Speed leaders, her as a Trustee and him as a member of the Corporate Counsel, a group of corporate executives led by Andy Vine of Blue Grass Motorsport to advance the Speed’s missions and work through corporate partnerships. This year, we also welcomed three presenting sponsors for the first time. We’re grateful to Brown-Forman, Churchill Downs and Fifth Third Bank for generously investing in our mission and partnering with us to make the Speed Ball a success,” explained Abby Shue, Deputy Director, External Relations & Advancement at the Speed Museum.

A conversation with Raphaela Platow Director, Speed Art Museum Why is the Speed Ball so important for the museum? The Speed Ball epitomizes the notion of coming together in celebration of art and beauty. It is a lavish, festive and luminous event and our most lucrative fundraiser of the year without typical remarks and programs - just a social, artful jubilee.

How long has the Speed Ball been going on? The Speed Ball originally started in the 1970’s under the leadership of the Alliance, an important group of community volunteers. Still today this event is a success because of the leadership of important volunteers.

This is your first Speed Ball and we would like to hear about your experience. It was a truly phenomenal, inspiring experience! The week leading up to the Ball I observed my colleagues, vendors, donors and our volunteers come together. Everybody was truly thrilled to contribute their unique skills, planning and executing the Ball with poise, grace and determination.The evening itself was elevating and celebratory. More guests than ever brought the museum to life with exuberant energy, gorgeous dresses and passion for the Speed Museum. Wiltshire Pantry provided excellent APRIL 2022

food, Black Rooster Farm added colors with incredible flower designs and people danced all night to music from the Young Hearts. I felt pride, exuberant joy and elation all evening.

What is the significance of the Speed Ball to the museum staff? Everyone at the Speed Museum is proud of this Ball and each team contributes to its success. It is our most significant fundraiser annually in direct support of our mission to “invite everyone to celebrate art forever.” We are grateful for the incredible generosity of corporate and individual supporters. v Speed Art Museum 2035 South Third St. Louisville, KY 40208 502.634.2700 speedmuseum.org VO I C E -T R I B U N E .

good smile can take you far, and the team at The Smile Center wants to help you achieve that. So, we spoke to Dr. Su T Kang, DMD; Dr. Lauren Berry, DMD; Dr. Nancy Shackleton, DMD and Melissa Langley, Nurse, to learn some tips on how you can achieve that perfect smile, both at home and with the help of a dentist.

Dr. Kang, what service at The Smile Center should patients take more advantage of? Our customized treatment plans help us meet the needs of our patients, and that’s what we’re best at. We offer all kinds of cosmetics and general dentistry procedures, including cosmetic dental implants. Also, the American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist a minimum of twice a year.

Dr. Berry, what are the top oral hygiene products you recommend for readers? I have two. The first is an electric toothbrush. The electric toothbrush will do most of the work for you by letting you know when to move to a different section of the mouth, and the pressure indicator lights let you know if you’re being too harsh. The other product is a water flosser. A water pick or flosser takes the user’s error out of flossing as it cleans between your teeth and around your gums with water. Dr. Berry’s recommendations: Sonicare and Oral-B electric toothbrushes and Waterpik.

Melissa, what is a microneedling RF with platelet-rich plasma? Microneedling or the vampire facial is quickly becoming one of the most popular skincare treatments because it decreases fine lines, wrinkles and pore size and promotes healthier, more youthful skin.

Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cosmetic treatment that stimulates collagen production by using ultrafine needles and RF pulses to penetrate deep into the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process to regenerate new collagen and elastin. Plateletrich plasma (PRP), which is found in the blood, contains platelets and growth factors that help tissues heal and generate new cells. In the office, blood is drawn and platelets are removed, causing numbness. After the treatment, the PRP is injected into the face and/ or neck with the microneedling tip. The Smile Center offers the first and only RF microneedling tip on the market designed to enhance the penetration of topicals deeper into the dermis, drastically improving the look of your skin. There is no other provider currently in Kentucky that offers this innovative Fushion Tip.

Dr. Shackleton, what is Invisalign, and why might someone pick this over getting braces? As far as pros and cons, Invisalign can be taken out when someone wants to eat or brush their teeth, making it easier for daily function. Braces are appliances that are rigidly fixed or glued to the teeth. Invisalign liner treatment is a series of clear, removable aligners. They are transparent, so people often prefer them over braces for an aesthetic reason. On the other hand, they are very cooperation dependent, meaning people that don’t feel like they can cooperate with wearing them 20 to 22 hours a day probably aren’t suited for Invisalign. Treatment time is relatively similar because, with braces, we can make adjustments right when they’re in the chair, whereas we have to send them off to the lab to do refinements with aligner treatment. v The Smile Center 7405 New La Grange Rd.

HOME TRENDS

Digs Home and Garden Ben Palmer-Ball of Digs discusses outdoor furniture trends By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

A

s the days grow longer, the smell of rain storms mixed with blooming flowers signals the arrival of spring. The warmer days welcome us outside, and festivities begin in anticipation of the Derby. Whether you’re planning to host for the big day or just looking to spruce up your outdoor space for the spring season, Digs Home and Garden is the one-stop shop for your outdoor lifestyle. We spoke with owner Ben Palmer-Ball about outdoor furniture and his tips on how to get what you need in time for Derby.

What are current outdoor furniture trends? One of the trends we’re seeing is more options for weather-resistant and low-maintenance materials. A lot of the collections we have on the floor feature outdoor cushions with a waterproof sack so that the cushion’s core never gets wet. There are also more options for outdoor seating that don’t have cushions. They have a sling or a mesh, so it may not appear as comfortable as the cushion, but

they often have a piece of foam in the weaving. We have some examples of that on the floor as well. Another trend is that there are more colors and patterns available. One of the upsides of the pandemic is that supply chains have been interrupted, so the vendors have had to get creative about finding other fabrics and manufacturers, which diversified the options.

APRIL 2022


What colors are trending in Louisville? My experience here in Louisville is that people have a more traditional style. People feel more comfortable with dark furniture. You can then accessorize with a colorful pillow or something that is not as permanent as investing in a collection of furniture. Color trends we see here are blue tones, and secondary to that green.

What outdoor furniture and decor do you offer at Digs? At Digs, I try to do a whole outdoor lifestyle. We carry three or four different manufacturers, and we try to put together collections that can speak to a broader audience in Louisville. We have all-weather aluminum, wicker, teak and combinations of different materials. You can find acrylic barware, dishes, planters and pots, so you can pick up everything you need here at one stop. This year we have a line of outdoor rechargeable lamps that can stay on for up to nine hours. They’re cute little cafe lamps.

What advice can you give to those shopping for Derby and the spring season? The reality now is that things are delayed because the manufacturers are having trouble getting materials and finding the workers they need. If you haven’t ordered furniture by now I would recommend that customers buy what they need sooner rather than later. v Digs Home & Garden 3905 Chenoweth Square Louisville, KY 40207 502.893.3447 digshomeandgarden.com

The Problem of the Continuum By STEVE HUMPHREY

T

his column is the first of three or four leading up to a discussion of the second great revolution in Physics in the 20th century, the development of Quantum Mechanics. Nothing has ever challenged our ordinary intuitions about the way the world works quite as much as what we discovered about the micro-world, the world of the teeny-tiny. But before we can delve into this amazing subject, I need to do some stage setting, explaining some of the history that led to the discoveries of the first quarter of the last century. It was known by the Greeks that matter has a variety of properties. Some objects are denser than others, some dissolve in water while others do not, substances come in a variety of colors and smells. An early attempt to explain these differences 150

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

involved the hypothesis that matter consisted of various amounts of the five basic elements; Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Quintessence. Aristotle believed that matter was continuous, and infinitely divisible. But no clear account of how relative abundances of these elements could explain the diversity of material substances. It was left to the Atomists, in particular Leucippus and his disciple Democritus, in the fifth century BCE, to move forward. The Atomists held that matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller parts, indefinitely, but was composed of finitely large, though very small, basic building blocks, whose relations determined the gross properties of matter. These atoms come in a variety of shapes. Some are convex, some concave, some have hooks, and they float in the Void. When they come into contact, they

form larger structures, depending upon how they fit together. These different structures are what account for the macroscopic properties of substances. This was a nice picture, but a little short on details. If atoms come in different shapes, then surely they have parts. Recognizing that atoms had parts and could be further divided led to modern chemistry. Some of the simpler elements were discovered. For example, it was shown that water consisted of a combination of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. So, the research program became, how do atoms of the different elements combine to form material substances? And what binds different kinds of atoms together to form stable entities with distinct properties? Another puzzle that was being investigated during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries was the nature of light. Light, or APRIL 2022


radiation, is a very familiar phenomenon. But what is it? How fast does it move? What is it made of? Why does a beam of light that goes through a prism break up into different colors? Why does a rainbow take its particular form? (A mnemonic for remembering the colors of a rainbow is Roy G Biv. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.) Experiments with prisms led Newton to the view that light consisted of a stream of corpuscles, little things distinguished by their energies, that are generated by a source, like the Sun, and travel at infinite speed in a straight line. Others, like Young and Fresnel, believed that light was a wave phenomenon. A crucial experiment was performed by shining a light on a solid disc and examining the shadow cast on a piece of paper. If light consisted of corpuscles, we would expect to see a clear and distinct edge to the shadow, but if it was made of waves, we should see some diffraction, a vagueness to the edge. Sure enough, interference patterns were seen, but the authority of Newton prevailed for many years, and the work of Young and Fresnel was forgotten for a time. (The

Plum Pudding Model.

distinction between wave and particle is particularly important in the development of Quantum theory, so keep it in mind. We will come back to it.) The next great step was taken by James Clerk Maxwell who, working on ideas first introduced by Michael Faraday, developed the theory of Electromagnetism, which unified the theories of electricity and magnetism and formalized the notion of a Field. His theory showed that light is an electromagnetic wave phenomenon, created by the propagation of an electric and magnetic field. But back to the structure of matter. By the end of the 19th century, it was understood that atoms had an internal structure, consisting of both positively and negatively charged parts. In 1904, J. J. Thomson theorized that while an atom is electrically neutral, it consists of equal amounts of positive and negative charge, a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded in it, like “plums in a pudding”. A test of the Plum Pudding Model was conducted by Ernest Rutherford in the early 1900’s. He directed a beam of positively charged alpha particles at a very thin sheet of gold foil and marked where the alpha particles ended up. As expected, most went straight through the foil and into a detector. But some were deflected, and a few were deflected by a huge amount. This was surprising, compared to firing cannonballs at a piece of tissue paper and finding a few being deflected back toward the cannon. Rutherford proposed that the atom’s structure was mostly empty space with a heavy, positively charged nucleus at the center surrounded by lighter negatively charged electrons in orbit around the nucleus. This became known as Rutherford’s Planetary Model of the atom, which suggested that atomic structure was very similar to the structure of the Solar System. A pretty picture, indeed. But wrong. v Steve Humphrey has a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science, with a specialty in the philosophy of physics. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

It’s followed by the Broadway sensation Hadestown, which intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork, To Kill A Mockingbird, closes the season.

Ashlee Phillips, Culture Curator and Social Art Activist Speed Art Museum welcomes Ashlee Philips as the Community Connections Artist in Residence By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH

T

he Speed recently welcomed Ashlee Phillips to their six-month-long Community Connections Artist In Residence program. This program is part of our institution’s desire to reach out, amplify and empower the people by collectively creating a platform for individuals (not limited to visual artists) to share their stories and express perspectives on social and personal topics. Our intention is to co-create a self-sustaining community art program that can be critical, uplifting, progressive and transformative for the Russell Neighborhood. We spoke with Phillips to learn more about who she is as an artist and the work she will be doing through the Residency program, which will focus on Black women and their mental health.

Tell me about your background and who you are as an artist. I’ve only been self-identifying as an artist since 2020, but I’ve been creative my whole life. My art and creativity stem from being a poet. I’ve been writing poetry since I could write. I’m also into photography, specifically iPhone photography and film; I’ve been doing it since around 2014. I’m also getting into film-making. I received my first grant from Kentucky Foundation for Women

APRIL 2022

Photos provided by ASHLEE PHILLIPS in 2020. I created an interactive fashion show called ‘The Divine Feminine: Sacral Chakra in Spring’ and a short film that allowed the women participants to discuss the experience. I just got another grant from the same foundation to create a film focused on Black women in the West End of Louisville, which will create a space for women to tell their stories. It’s titled ‘N9 Women West of 9th: Capacity Couched in Chaos’. I’m going to be hitting on a few major topics, some uncomfortable, but I’m big on ripping the band-aid off. Everything I do is social justice-based, getting to the root of the matter and creating change through these art disciplines.

What happened in 2020 that pushed you to identify as an artist? It happened for me in the summer of 2020, in the wake of the death of Breonna Taylor. I found myself at a crossroads. I was in the middle of my small business called Thrifting with Ashlee. I was sitting in my thrift store doing an interview with somebody from Atlanta, and they asked me about Breonna Taylor and things of that nature. At that moment, I told the interviewer that my art is my activism. I realized that who I am as a creative and an individual is an activist, and that activism can look different for everyone. I finally

allowed myself to walk into what it is fully I know I’m capable of doing. The whole label I go by is Culture Curator and Social Art Activist.

What drew you to apply to the Community Connections Artist In Residence at the Speed? At first, I wasn’t going to, but working alongside the previous Artist in Residence, Shauntrice Martin, allowed me to see myself bigger than I have before. It went from thinking, “no, I can’t do that,” to “why not me?” That’s an approach I’ve been taking as a creative. Why not my vision? Why not my style? Why not my embodiment? When I looked over the application and saw that the focus was Black women, which is so important to me, I felt like it was destiny. Even if I didn’t get it, the application was meant for me to understand that people are looking for the type of story I’m trying to tell through my art.

What does the Residency consist of? It consists of leading workshops and creating an exhibit. I have an eight-week workshop and four one-day workshops based around talk therapy, art therapy and holistic healing. I will bring in a licensed clinical therapist, art therapist and holistic healer who will help provide VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M |

the participants with resources that they may not have access to. The workshops will focus on the mental health of Black women and removing the stigma around mental health. It’s not a bad word and something you have to hide from; it’s very much real and something experienced daily. For the exhibit, I will do an interactive installment, including art that I take from the workshops with the participants and my art. I’m big on thrifting, so I’m going to thrift many pieces to create a living room setting. When you walk in the museum, usually, it’s white walls with fancy portraits, but I want to get super funky with it and make you feel like you’re in your mom’s living room, your granny’s porch or your auntie’s house while also taking in the artwork. It’s all about tapping into all the emotions and senses, allowing people to be fully immersed in the experience.

women, or encouraging these women. For the eight week workshop, I’m simply creating the space for the women to invite themselves, allow themselves and encourage themselves to identify what mental health means, talk to the therapists, participate in the arts and crafts, and start the healing process, which can’t begin until the problem is identified. The workshops are all about bringing resources in a way that’s more subtle than going to a therapist by yourself. The eightweek workshop will be a group workshop, with about 15 women max, because I understand the sensitivity and heaviness of what we could be talking about. It will start off by talking about what mental health is, and with each week, we’ll dive deep into topics like interpersonal relationships and self-love. A big goal for me is providing participants with things they can take away and share with others.

What are your goals for the workshops?

What are your goals for the art installation?

I’m very intentional, so I always ensure that what I’m doing is authentic and transparent. When I say I’m creating spaces, you’ll never hear me say that I’m inviting these women, or allowing these

My goals are to show how multi-faceted I am as a creative. There will be photos on canvas of eight women in the installation, and the other big part is thriting. I plan to refurbish and upcycle thrifted items to

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

show people the beauty of taking something old and turning it into something new.

What do you hope to learn from this Residency? My biggest goal is to walk away being more connected, intentionally connected, with the community. Everything I do as an artist, activist and cultural curator is involved with the people around me. I’m aware that it takes a village, unity and a tribe. I’m hoping at the end I’ll be more of an accessible resource for my community and that the community will be an accessible resource for me. I’m excited to see how it all blossoms as I continue to make relationships with people.

How Bad Does a Knee Have to Be Before Considering Replacement? For the majority of patients with knee pain that interferes with their ability to go on walks and enjoy other recreational activities, most doctors will try more conservative treatments before recommending surgery.

Thomas Schlierf, MD Orthopedic Surgeon

“I treat my patients like I would want to be treated and explain all the options to them,” said Thomas Schlierf, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon with Baptist Health Medical Group in Louisville and New Albany, Indiana. “We try conservative therapies first, but if those aren’t working, then we talk about total joint replacement.”

When You Should Consider Knee Replacement • Your long-lasting pain isn’t improving. • Your arthritis is interfering with your life. Simple, necessary activities such as walking, sleeping, and working are becoming difficult due to knee pain. • Your knee hurts when you’re at rest. You want to remain active. • You want lasting relief. The average knee replacement lasts for 20-25 years and a little less for those who are more physically active.

“Our goal is to get you back to your daily activities and doing the things you enjoy doing,” explains Dr. Schlierf.

115570_BHLU_JulyAdvertorial_7_4x4_8c.indd 1

Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery • Pain relief. Probably the biggest benefit you’ll notice after surgery is not experiencing pain during your daily activities and when you’re at rest. • High success and satisfaction rates. More than 90% of those who undergo knee replacement surgery, most of whom have osteoarthritis, say that it improves their pain and that they’re satisfied with the results one year after the procedure.

Dr. Schlierf can be contacted at 502.897.6579.
