More than six local artists are joining forces for one common cause: to depict their favorite heroes in an exhibit at Art Sanctuary and save the world while doing so. Well, maybe not the second half, but if we’re running with the comic-book theme, it makes sense. “Heroes,” which opens Friday, Jan. 4, will feature […]
Although Halloween’s presence has been felt at big-box chain stores since shortly after the Fourth of July, it’s now the appropriate time to start decorating the yard with ghosts and snacking on candy corn.

Art inspires art. That’s the premise behind a new exhibition opening Friday at Art Sanctuary titled “In the Moment: An Artists’ Collaboration.” Rita M.

There are plenty of options for buying local this season, but this one will serve as a unique one-stop shop: The Flea Off Market is heading indoors this month for their annual Holiday Bazaar at the Art Sanctuary in Germantown this weekend, Dec. 6-7. All the eclectic and random booths you’ve come to expect at the Flea Off […]
Gov. Matt Bevin touted a proposed bill in a news conference on Friday that would define what constitutes a “sanctuary city” for undocumented immigrants in the state and prohibit any local government entity from instituting policies limiting law enforcement from asking an individual about their immigration status and cooperating with federal immigration officials.

When Louisville artist Purion Parker sits down to create a portrait, he possesses an innate ability — some might call it magic — to hone in on a person’s energy, transferring it from aura to canvas.

Steven, a participant at Harbor House, can’t decide what he likes best about being there.
