LAL invites artists to apply for an exhibition in the Project Space for its 2009-2010 calendar year. The mission of the Project Space is to exhibit installation and new media work that is engaging, challenging, and experimental in both concept and execution. The Project Space, located in the basement of the historic Loudoun House, is 29’ x 20’ with concrete and brick walls that are painted white, and a concrete floor that is painted gray. There is one doorway (45” x 81”). The ceiling has exposed pipes and ductwork; the ductwork is 74” from the floor, the fluorescent lights are 84” from the floor. The basement also houses artist studios and storage spaces. Exhibitions will run for approximately six weeks, beginning in July 2009. The artist will be entirely responsible for the installation and removal of their artwork, as well as solely bearing the financial responsibility of any and all supplies and travel expenses, although LAL will provide a small honorarium. We encourage KY artists and those from surrounding states to apply.
To apply for the Project Space, please send a cover letter addressing the content of your work and the installation that you propose for the space, up to 10 digital images of artwork along with an inventory list of the images, and a resume listing other gallery exhibitions (if applicable). If the work that you would like to exhibit in the Project Space is currently unrealized, include a detailed, written proposal, with drawings or other images if possible. Application materials are due by April 11, 2009and will not be returned. Notifications will be mailed by June 2009.

Last spring, the State of Kentucky announced that budget constraints would not allow the festival to continue. After public outcry over this news, the Danville Boyle County Convention & Visitor's Bureau, the Heart of Danville Main Street Program, the Danville Boyle County Arts Commission and the CommunityArtsCenter are working collaboratively to continue this signature event. The event will be bigger and better, with an emphasis on the arts. Whether it be visual, performing or media arts, all are invited to participate!
