Bourbon With Heart

Bourbon with HeART, Kentucky’s first and only arts-focused bourbon charity, is launching Barrels of HeART, a firstof-its-kind art exhibit opening February 2 at the Frazier History Museum in downtown Louisville.

The mission of Bourbon with HeART is to leverage the influence and popularity of Kentucky’s most iconic spiritbourbon - to raise funds, awareness, and education around our local art community. The organization is committed to providing better access and delivering first-class arts experiences to every person in Kentucky regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability.

“Art is like a good glass of bourbon, it brings people together and encourages self-expression,” said Morgan Hancock, founder of Bourbon with HeART. “I started Barrels of HeART with the goal of creating a space for local artists to showcase their work, particularly those artists who may not always have that opportunity. Our artists come from all walks of life, perspectives, and experiences, but the one thing they have in common is a love for Kentucky. And each one has poured that love into their piece.”

Twenty local artists were provided a barrel and a supply budget to bring their art to life. Exhibit attendees will vote on their favorite barrel design and the artist of the winning barrel design will be awarded a cash prize along with a donation to the charity of their choice. The remaining proceeds will be donated to area nonprofits.

Each barrel in the exhibit is also sponsored by local companies and bourbon brands who are committed to supporting Bourbon with HeART and Louisville’s arts community.
