Hey GSA Alumni!
Artist in Residence, Harry Pickens, and GSA 1988 alum, Rebecca Sturgeon, are hosting a potluck for GSA Alumni!
This is a chance to sit down together again— no program, no agenda, just good company and good food. Open to all GSA alumni in the Louisville area, any discipline, over 18 years old.
Bring a dish if you’d like— something homemade, something from the store, something you’re proud of. If you’d rather just bring yourself, that’s more than enough. There will be plenty either way!

Until then, go forth and make great art!!

Creativity thrives when it's recognized, celebrated, and supported. Governor Andy Beshear’s visit this summer was a powerful reminder that when state leaders invest in our young artists, they're also investing in the cultural and economic future of our Commonwealth.

“Supporting young artists is so important and I am truly looking forward to giving back to GSA because those 3 weeks I spent with GSA truly shaped my life as an artist.”
