One of the really interesting things about living in a small town as Henderson Kentucky is the importance we place on visual arts. We have a very active arts community both visually and performing.
One organization that I have been a part of for over 12 years is the Ohio Valley Art League. Under the direction of Jule McClellan.
Jule is like the energizer bunny. She never stops running! We would not have the vibrant visual arts community in Henderson if it was not for people like Jule McClellan.
Just this week she went to Frankfort KY and received a Kentucky Arts Council grant for OVAL.
This weekend an exhibit opens at the First Methodist Church called “The Art of Well-Being VII”. This is a incredible exhibit encourages artist to “interpret well-being as he/she feels” in any medium. Jule has worked with the organization of this show.
The exhibit opens Sunday, February 15 at 3:00 pm. A piano concert by Mary Ann McClure Blackwell and Jica Crafton at 3:30. During intermission the art show winners will be announced.
What a great way to mix art, music, healthy living and spirituality in one experience. My hat goes off to the organizers at First Methodist Church Henderson KY for hosting and organizing this fine exhibit of art.
What do you think of the visual arts in Henderson KY? Have you ever attended a function of Ohio Valley Art League?
