Speed Art Museum

The newly revamped Art Sparks at the Speed Art Museum is an inviting interactive gallery for everyone, from the young to the young-at-heart. With 15 engaging hands-on learning stations, it's a place where both adults and kids can bond over the magic of art. Art Sparks welcomes visitors during the same hours as the Museum and access is included with regular admission, plus it's free on Sundays. The gallery is cleverly divided into three sections: Noticing, Making, and Talking about art.

In the Noticing section, you'll discover fresh ways to see the world. The exhibits and activities here are all about exploring light, color, patterns, and composition. It's an eye-opener, literally! When you move to the Talking section, you'll find a space dedicated to sharing your thoughts on the art collection. It’s a great spot to develop your art vocabulary and become more visually familiar with the museum's treasures.

For those who love a creative challenge, the Making section offers a chance to get hands-on and create your own masterpieces. This part of the gallery is all about unleashing your inner artist and having fun with different materials and techniques. Plus, the museum itself is in Louisville, a city known for its rich cultural scene and vibrant local arts community. So, next time you're in town, make sure to swing by and let Art Sparks ignite your imagination!
