Welcome to the LAL Artist Archive.
The LAL Artist Archive is a searchable online compendium of visual artists living and working in Central Kentucky. It currently contains nearly 200 artist profiles featuring clips from interviews, images, and other biographical information. The archive will expand and evolve as LAL continues to add new artist profiles.
LAL created the Artist Archive for a few important reasons. First, the process of creating artist profiles is a way for LAL staff, interns, and students to cultivate meaningful connections with artists via one-on-one, face-to-face interviews with featured artists. LAL values artist's cultural contributions to our community, and is committed to establishing and maintaining genuine relationships with artists living and working in our shared community. Second, the Artist Archive is a tool and resource for artists to connect to new audiences. Because the archive is free and easily accessed by anyone online, featured artists can share their work with a wide audience; the audio interviews facilitate a deeper understanding and appreciation of each artist's work, process, background, and interests. Finally, LAL considers the Artist Archive a meaningful asset to the artist community that can continue to develop through future programing.
Special thanks.
