This years event will be hosted at the Speed Art Museum—a cornerstone of Kentucky’s cultural landscape since 1927. Originally founded as the J.B. Speed Memorial Museum and affectionately known as The Speed, this Louisville landmark is the state’s oldest and largest art museum, drawing over 180,000 visitors annually.
Nestled next to the University of Louisville, The Speed is more than a museum—it’s a vibrant hub of artistic exploration. From classical masterpieces to bold contemporary works, the collection spans continents and centuries, with standout pieces from the Netherlands, France, Italy, and a powerful representation of Native American and African art.
Whether you're an art aficionado or simply art-curious, The Speed offers something for everyone. Come celebrate with us in a space where history, imagination, and innovation meet!
