As I was enjoying a walk down main street, looking for breakfast. I noticed this gorgeous museum so…read moreimmediately after eating, I came back. The entrance fee was modest. And the work inside was stunning. I enjoyed the 3 different floors with 3 different exhibits. The top floor featured works by a Southern outsider artist that had me entranced. The 2nd floor was all women sculptors and even had some interactive activities for the kids... or the adults who act like kids. And the 1st level had the gift shop but also an exhibit of local women artists, and all of the pieces were for sale! Space was light and airy and the staff was helpful and knowledgeable. What else could you want?!

Let's "support our local art!"…read more This little gallery is located on Main Street and it features art from community members and artists. They have a great collection on view and its changes from time to time. The entrance fee is a steal. It's under twenty dollars. The inspiration of another individual is just hard to explain. You can see their story and explore it through how they convey and then you connect to it. The staff here are truly wonderful. They will not only help you but let you shop and browse as you want. They are engaged with great attention to detail. One featured artist is Minnie Evan's she has an immersive experience here . Let's reflect and celebrate.

Here at this center for the arts many artists have been involved and have had their work shared. One recent piece that is worth noting a young woman from Ohio that does large murals and paintings on buildings. She shared what life looked like in actual urban areas where she grew up in. A piece that she labels as "Monet the Doll," is actually how she described herself. A woman or any relatable woman that is strong, untouchable, creative, confident, and more importantly grounded in purpose. Her art speaks of the individual and our world as we co exist inside of it . Use your voice to be the best version of ourselves with love and compassion. Kindness should guide you. Another art piece that is worth sharing is the gallery of GW Morrison. This gentleman is a New Albany native. His art captures the natural world and beauty. He picked up pieces of driftwood and made art of them. He was a pioneer in his day of Indian people's art until his death in 1893. The cultural arts area is a bigger part of the Floyd County Library. They sponsor many types of elementary school educational activities here . The arts has free admission and a suggested donation. Come and see what happening around your area today.

We were having dinner in New Albany and decided to check out the Carnrgoe Center beforehand…read more Parking lot in the back and easy access to the entrance around the side. There is no cost to enter, donations accepted. There was an exhibit by staff members that was pretty cool, (their art work), my favorite an exhibit by a local artist who uses plastic and foam pieces he finds on the banks of the Ohio River and an exhibit on the Underground Railroad that was interesting and educational. We'll worth an hour or an hour and a half visit.

Where else can one find a state that is divided up into 120 different counties. That has an independent and unique history. What makes Kentucky so different? How about the soil and the agricultural system that came to be. Then we have the Ohio River and the hub to the Mississippi to sell goods. Where the birth of the steamship made Louisville a city!

The Frazier is now a stop on the bourbon trail and because of that you can learn fun facts about how it's made and the history in Kentucky. Tastings and tours are also available. Cool Kentucky is a favorite walk through and it's found on the main floor. It's the reason the locals should visit. I learn something new each time and people in our state are highlighted in many ways. The Lewis and Clark exhibit remains and is likely the most kid friendly; however, this museum isn't really geared towards kids and they're going to become antsy fairly quick. Rotating exhibits always offer a reason to come back so I like to follow them on social media to see the announcements. Frazier offers an annual beer fest as well during late July/early August. I give them kudos for adjusting their displays and theming over the years to appeal to more visitors and remain open. It's a unique experience. Street parking, don't forget to pay the meter. Discount tickets may be found on Groupon. Annual membership is a good deal too.

The motto of 21c states a philosophy, " of being globally engaged yet rooted in the local community." They continue to believe; "art can anchor and energize a community." These truths and beliefs hold momentous truths with an emphasis upon free expression of thought and ideas through art. In fact the company has an art gallery that rotates often with other 21c Hotels.

We got a cheese board and some frizzy water to keep it light as it was the night before a work day.

Of course, it was a wonderful time...and the Art was the second best part of the night as to me He was the most beautiful thing that night. Thank you 21C for providing the 2 of Us with such a wonderful time and experience.

We came at the last hour... just in time for a tour inside the mansion. Admission is $13 (but we qualified for the Seniors rate -- yay! best part in turning 60 LoL!) Our young tour guide was very knowledgeable and well-informed about the property. We started in the foyer and worked our way up to three stories, ending in the kitchen. The mansion is a French Second Empire-style structure and at the time of his death in 1892, Culbertson was one of Indiana's wealthiest men. Rooms that were shown to us included the FIRST FLOOR: Informal Parlor, Formal Dining Room, the Formal Parlor (which can be rented as an event space), Library. SECOND FLOOR: Morning Room, Daughter Blanche's Room, Daughter Anna's and her husband's Room, Dressing Room, Mrs Culbertson's Room, Mr Culbertson's Room (still under construction) and, yes, they each have separate rooms. THIRD FLOOR: Son, Samuel's Room, and across the hallway is another room under construction but has some exhibits and history material on display. From here we headed downstairs to the servant's quarters and finally the kitchen on the ground floor. Lastly... during Fall and Halloween season the Carriage House is transformed into a haunted house. They call this event the "House of Anguish." This is the primary fundraiser for the Culbertson Mansion. Review #3876

As soon as you walk in to the history you're immediately immersed in what it was like during slavery. The owner gave a brief historical discussion on some of the objects, relics, and statues found in the museum and it was definitely a learning experience to find out more information about those items. The museum has 2 different levels and both of those levels provides various rooms that describes the past, present, and future of Black History and what we can do to help make a in our society. There were also several rooms that offered glimpses of black culture, which was really cool to see.

From the art to the artifacts, every exhibit is immersive, emotional, and unapologetically raw and real. You don't just walk through history--you feel it. There is such a powerful depth of African American history represented, and it's presented in a way that really stays with you. Mr. Lamont was also a wealth of knowledge, adding even more meaning and context to the experience. If you are a lover of African American history, this is definitely the place you want to visit when you come to Louisville. Highly recommend.

"In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade"…read more(Simon and Garfunkel) Who was your childhood hero? Without hesitation, my answer would be Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali. When I think of the '60's, he was in the center of every shitstorm there was - old generation vs new generation, pro war vs anti-war, and toss in civil unrest, civil rights, and race relations for good measure. I followed him over his full lifetime, clowning around with Howard Cosell, throwing lightning fast punches in so many fights (you needed to see a slo-mo replay to appreciate his speed), watched his 1974 championship "Rumble in the Jungle" match against George Foreman on closed circuit TV while at college, remembered his incredible lighting of the Olympic torch at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics as his wracked body was trembling with Parkinson's disease, and mourned his 2016 passing. The Muhammad Ali Center is a multicultural institution and museum dedicated to the man's life and legacy. For a time, he was widely regarded as the most recognizable person on Earth. The Center covers so much more than his boxing career and also showcases his childhood and civil rights-humanitarian works. One of the exhibits features a child's bicycle- a red Cruiser Deluxe and I suspect no bicycle in history packs a backstory like this one. When Cassius Clay was 12 years old, a young hooligan stole it. After Clay discovered the theft, he began crying and screaming on a street corner when a policeman approached him and asked what was wrong. Clay responded with "someone stole my bicycle and when I find him, I'm gonna whup his ass!" The policeman asked Clay if he knew how to fight and took him to the local gym for boxing lessons. And that's how one of the twentieth centuries greatest characters began his rise into history and immortality. This is a must-see museum, plain and simple.
