Don’t miss this brilliant celebration! Following the dedication, step over to Portal, right across the street, to mingle and enjoy snacks and a cash bar.

What is the SPARK Sculpture at Louisville Visual Art (LVA)?

The SPARK Sculpture is a large work of art that the artist team HADDAD|DRUGAN was commissioned to create. It will be installed on the side of LVA’s building at 1538 Lytle Street in the winter of 2024-2025. SPARK stands for Student + Professional Art Resources + Knowledge - and that's what you will find at LVA's Lytle Street building! The SPARK sculpture includes bright metal elements and clear rods that light up similarly to neon tubes. The work will also have many “icons” painted onto the wall around the main “SPARK” shape using a stencil process.
