Wild Card: The Art of Michael Combs, A Fifteen-Yea
March 30 - September 30
21c Museum Hotel, Lobby Gallery
700 West Main Street
Louisville, KY
Growing up on Long Island's East End, Michael Combs was raised by generations of hunters, fishermen, boat builders, and decoy makers. Instead of becoming an avid hunter himself, however, the artist responded to this upbringing by developing a passion for preserving nature and exposing the vanity of gaming sports. Wild Card charts Michael Combs's multi-media, fifteen-year exploration of gender identity and cultural mythology, as experienced and expressed in both personal rites of passage and within the history of group behavior - in the real and imagined games we play.

Frazier History Museum

Coming this summer, “Mythic Creatures” will take guests on a fantastic journey to discover the origins of dragons, unicorns, mermaids and other folkloric creatures that have fascinated humans for centuries. For thousands of years, sometimes inspired by living animals or even fossils, we’ve have brought mythic creatures to life in stories, songs and artwork. Today, these creatures — from the powerful dragon to the soaring phoenix — continue to thrill, terrify, entertain and inspire us. This exhibition was produced by the American Museum of Natural History. $18.50 for adults (18 and older), $14.50 for students (ages 14-17 and college students with I.D.), $10 for children (5-13) and free for children ages 4 and under. Discounts are available for museum members, military, seniors (60+) and groups of 20 or more. Admission to this special exhibition is optional and includes permanent gallery access.

Jane Morgan Gallery
4838 Brownsboro Center
Louisville, KY
We paint en plein air every Thursday starting the first Thursday after Derby through October. We have been having themes each year, and last year was Architecture in Landscape. We painted in Bardstown, KY, Anchorage, KY, downtown streets of Louisville, the Peterson-Dumnesil House off Frankfort Ave., Locust Grove, Crescent Hill street scenes, churches, old Louisville, and in Frankfort, KY we painted in the old town and also around the newer capitol, in Midway, KY and more. This was a challenge for all of us, but when you come to see the exhibit you will see that we met the challenge head on! This was a great lesson as we learned so much about architecture and enjoyed the time spent with each other! Jane Morgan The Plein Air Painters of KY was founded in 1998 by Jane Morgan.

Kaviar Forge & Gallery
Artists in Our Midst
The exhibition runs from April 26 through July 27 with receptions on April 26, May 31, June 28 and July 26 coinciding with the FAT Friday Trolley Hops 6-9pm.
Kaviar Forge & Gallery
1718 Frankfort Ave
Louisville, KY
Sunlight illuminates a row of brilliant orange maples above Lexington Road in Lynn Dunbar’s oil painting. Tiny crayon dinosaurs dance across porcelain slabs in one multi-media piece by Katie Melechin. Culled from the (extremely) local artists of Jefferson and contiguous counties, the upcoming group show “Artists in our Midst” at the Kaviar Forge & Gallery will question the ongoing prejudice against local art. In a city like Louisville, there is no want for talented and ambitious artists. In fact, we are always surrounded by artists, and it is their work to reveal the mysterious in the banal of daily life. A visitor to the “Artists in Our Midst” exhibition may be caught squinting at several paintings on display, trying to understand his familiarity with the scenes depicted. The culture of the world at hand is portrayed, from the vivid colors of flowers for sale at Bardstown Market, to the zombie walk that occasionally catches tourists by surprise, to the wildlife of Louisville. The artists have reinvigorated what was familiar and made it strange. It is a reminder that all artists are local to someplace. The exhibition opens April 26, with an artist reception during the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop from 6-9pm. Over thirty artists have work appearing in the exhibition, which was open to all media and genres. Featuring the work of Louisville favorites Steve Eilers, whose playful painting “Sunday with Seurat” reimagines the famous pointillist beach scene, and Lindsay Frost, whose woodwork surpasses craft and reaches an almost spiritual level of unity with nature, the exhibition also includes manylesser- known artists. Delbert Deatrick is an 83 year old who paints daily and has never displayed his work previously. Joanne Weiss uses embroidered silk and bamboo screens to create lush tapestries, while Jada Lynn uses digital photography to create the startling effect of her piece, entitled, “Bacon Wall.” (For a complete list of the artists, visit craigkaviar.com). The wild range in media and technique only prove the rich texture of the local arts scene.

Kentucky Center for African American Heritage
Selected Works of G.C. Coxe
April 9 - August 9
Kentucky Center for African American Heritage
1701 West Muhammad Ali Blvd.
Louisville, KY
Selected Works of G.C. Coxe (Gloucester Caliman Coxe, 1907-1999) April 9 - August 9, 2013 Gloucester Caliman Coxe, known as G.C., lived in Louisville most of his life. He was the first African American to receive an Allen R. Hite Art Scholarship from the University of Louisville and the first black fine arts graduate. He was considered the "dean" of Louisville's African American artists and a mentor to young African American artists. Coxe is described as a daring experimental abstract painter. His paintings suggest the pulsating rhythms and mystery of life, while his use of non-traditional materials displayed the extraordinary in the ordinary and the spiritual in the mundane. This small exhibit includes many of the phases of Coxe's development as an artist, spanning from the 1950s into the 1990s and is curated by Dr. Robert Douglas, a mentee and close personal friend. Exhibit hours: Tuesday-Friday 10am-12 noon and 2-5 p.m. Free and open to the public Appointments available for groups

The Paul Paletti Gallery
The Third Perspective: A Collector's View
Feb. 26 - Aug. 30, 2013
Paul Paletti Gallery
713 East Market Street
Louisville, KY
Over several decades, Paul Paletti has amassed an important collection of historic and contemporary photographic artworks of museum quality. As a collector, his intent has been to choose only those pieces in which the artist demonstrates a superlative degree of technical virtuosity offered with a distinctive vision. “‘The Third Perspective’ is about the relationship I believe is created when a photographer shows a print he or she has made. Until then, the only perspectives that exist happen in front of, and behind the lens — between artist and subject,” says Paletti. “I made one of my first purchases from the remarkable Imogene Cunningham when I was a graduate student in photography. I never really looked back, but I got very serious about collecting about 20 years ago. The gallery is the culmination of that experience. And it just continues to grow because I am a truly passionate about photography, and a collector at heart.” Beginning on Feb. 26, and continuing through August

Theatre [502]
Dead Man's Call Phone by Sarah Ruhl
June 21, 22, 24, 28, 29 at 8pm
Baron's Theater
131 W Main St
Louisville, KY
Dead Man's Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl directed by Gil Reyes Despite dying an ordinary death in an ordinary café, Gordon Gottlieb was no ordinary man. Of course, we might never have known if Jean had not answered (and kept) the dead man’s ringing phone. Now, in a surreal journey through the absurd side of grief, Jean is determined to make Gordon the man she believes he always should have been. She soon learns that righting Gordon’s wrongs, comforting his family, and answering his calls may turn out to be more soup than she can slurp. Jean has two things going for her – a good heart and a dead man’s cell phone - both are about to get her into a lot of trouble. Playfully asking, “Where do we go when someone else dies,” the metaphysical pairing of Gordon and Jean leads to laughs and questions our ability to truly connect.
