Kentucky artist Valerie Fuchs, whom we profiled in the March issue of this magazine, is one of several artists participating in the Lexington Art League’s exhibition Luminosity, which will be on display at the Loudoun House and at Triangle Park through the month of March.
What is Luminosity?
The Lexington Art League (LAL) has called Luminosity –– a multi-faceted exhibition of interactive light based art –– the largest exhibition in their six decade history.
In addition to the following exhibits, LAL will host several outreach and educational events surrounding the exhibit. More information and a schedule of events can be found at www.lexingtonartleague.org.
Luminosity: New Moon at Triangle Park
On display Feb. 21 - March 28
Visiting artists Caitlin r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett worked with a crew of BCTC welding students and Lexington Art League interns to create New Moon, an interactive, rotating light sculpture emulating all the phases of the moon. The sculpture utilizes more than 5,000 lightbulbs - many of which were donated from the community - and features a kinetic wheel large enough to accommodate several people at once.
