LVAA Art Auction
The Louisville Visual Art Association hosted its annual art auction on Nov. 12.
The auction offered over 100 pieces of art contributed by the area’s finest visual artists, art patrons, collectors, Hite Art Institute alumni and respected galleries.
Thanks to the generosity of the participants, the event generated funds for the Children’s Fine Art Classes program and the University of Louisville Hite Art Institute’s Mary Spencer Nay Scholarship Endowment.
