Not long ago, artists from faraway places moved to the unlikely town of Paducah, Kentucky. Its LowerTown district, down by the river, is a close community of artists who moved into beautiful old houses, transformed a troubled neighborhood, and pioneered the largest artist relocation program in U.S. history. From an egg carver, to a print maker, to a sculptural ceramicist, to an art quilt master, this feature-length documentary profiles the life and work of folks showing how great art can come from the most unlikely of places. With the city's history explained by one of its proudest historians, "LowerTown Paducah" is an upbeat love letter to a charming river town in the heart of America. It is an Official Selection in Louisville's International Festival of Films and will screen at Galt House this Friday, October 11 at 6:00 p.m.
