The next Louisville Life explores the pasts of two unique buildings, learns about vitreography and hears from an expert on how to teach kids and adults to be more peaceful and positive. The program, hosted by Candyce Clifft, airs Thursday, May 22 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT; Friday, May 23 at 4/3 p.m. CT; and Sunday, May 25 at noon/11 a.m. CT on KET2.In an examination of one of Louisville’s most distinctive downtown landmarks, the Humana building, Louisville Life meets renowned architect Michael Graves; David Jones, who co-founded Humana with the late Wendell Cherry in 1961; and Mayor Jerry Abramson.
Next, the program visits the Henry Clay building. Located in the heart of Louisville’s theater district, the Henry Clay has been an Elk’s Lodge, a hotel and a YWCA. After a $20 million mixed-use redevelopment project, the Henry Clay has become a multi-use space for downtown residents, businesspeople and tourists.
Then, local artist Julie May demonstrates a little-practiced form of printmaking known as vitreography. Using leaves and stems culled from Kentucky flora, May crafts prints that offer a unique natural and artistic view.
Next, Candyce interviews Eileen Blanton, executive director of Peace Education Program, a non-profit organization that teaches kids and adults skills like conflict resolution and peer mediation.
Finally, Louisville Life takes a look at the city’s founder, George Rogers Clark.
