The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, located at 715 West Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, will host “Equine Divine” August 7 through October 16, 2010. Fitting for an organization in the heart of the horse industry, this exhibition will feature work by artists inspired by our equine companions. The center piece of the exhibition will be a foal - sized sculpture by sculptor Deborah Butterfield, perhaps the best know contemporary equine sculptor. English photographer Tim Flach and artists Ando Hiroshige and Charles-Emile Jacque will also have work on display. In addition, the exhibition will feature hand-tooled saddles, jockey silks and a unique racing saddle autographed by more than fifteen well-known jockeys. Discussion of the industry from a jockey’s perspective, the history of African American jockeys, and the relationship between horse racing and the Hispanic community will all be included in guest lectures scheduled while the exhibition is on display. The opening reception will be in conjunction with the First Friday Trolley Hop on Friday, August 6, from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. For more information visit www.kentuckyarts.org or call (502) 589-0102.
