Youth Arts Council: 2013 Visual Art Exhibition8:00 am – 5:30 pm
The 4th annual Youth Arts Council Exhibition will present the inspiring efforts and creativity of local high school students. This collaborative exhibition between Lexington’s Youth Arts Council, the Living Arts and Science Center (LASC), and the Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra (CKYO) is based on the “Enigma Variation” by 19th century composer Edward Elgar. Each movement is a musical portrait of one of Elgar’s friends or family members and in the score he labels each one with the initials of the subject or a nickname. The variations are evocative of the character or personality of the individual, a specific interaction or experience they shared, or a specific event in their lives. The most famous movement is “Nimrod” which was written for his best friend. Artists could use any of the four variations posted on youthartscouncil.org as a prompt to create a visual artwork. Each participant will have at least one artwork on display at the Singletary Center, and a selection of those works will be placed on display at the LASC Gallery for the June 21st Gallery Hop 5-8pm.

Nori Hall: Waterscapes10:00 am – 5:00 pm
The Ann Tower Gallery is pleased to present fifteen new large-scaled photographs in “Nori Hall: Waterscapes.” The exhibition will open with a Gallery Hop reception on Friday, April 19 from 5 to 8 pm. Hall creates sumptuous and mysterious images by shooting film that she prints and manipulates digitally, suppressing detail and using blended, understated and somewhat unrealistic color. The addition of stylized color is a change from her previously sepia-dominated palette. The results are wonderfully dreamy and moody interpretations of beautiful watershed settings in the Bluegrass. For the past decade, Hall has been devoted to landscape photography. The Waterscape series was inspired and supported by an EcoArt Grant from Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Department of Environmental Quality. Hall has beautifully fulfilled her aim to depict and promote awareness of local places where water is the main resource, a refuge and a basic source of our health and overall welfare.

Nori Hall: Waterscapes10:00 am – 5:00 pm
The Ann Tower Gallery is pleased to present fifteen new large-scaled photographs in “Nori Hall: Waterscapes.” The exhibition will open with a Gallery Hop reception on Friday, April 19 from 5 to 8 pm. Hall creates sumptuous and mysterious images by shooting film that she prints and manipulates digitally, suppressing detail and using blended, understated and somewhat unrealistic color. The addition of stylized color is a change from her previously sepia-dominated palette. The results are wonderfully dreamy and moody interpretations of beautiful watershed settings in the Bluegrass. For the past decade, Hall has been devoted to landscape photography. The Waterscape series was inspired and supported by an EcoArt Grant from Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Department of Environmental Quality. Hall has beautifully fulfilled her aim to depict and promote awareness of local places where water is the main resource, a refuge and a basic source of our health and overall welfare.

Youth Arts Council: 2013 Visual Art Exhibition8:00 am – 5:30 pm
The 4th annual Youth Arts Council Exhibition will present the inspiring efforts and creativity of local high school students. This collaborative exhibition between Lexington’s Youth Arts Council, the Living Arts and Science Center (LASC), and the Central Kentucky Youth Orchestra (CKYO) is based on the “Enigma Variation” by 19th century composer Edward Elgar. Each movement is a musical portrait of one of Elgar’s friends or family members and in the score he labels each one with the initials of the subject or a nickname. The variations are evocative of the character or personality of the individual, a specific interaction or experience they shared, or a specific event in their lives. The most famous movement is “Nimrod” which was written for his best friend. Artists could use any of the four variations posted on youthartscouncil.org as a prompt to create a visual artwork. Each participant will have at least one artwork on display at the Singletary Center, and a selection of those works will be placed on display at the LASC Gallery for the June 21st Gallery Hop 5-8pm.
