The original 1913 production created a near riot with its complex music by Igor Stravinsky and ground-breaking choreography.
Then, Louisville Life visits the Louisville Visual Art Association, established more than 100 years ago. One of the association's services is the Children's Free Art Classes program, which provides in-depth art instruction for hundreds of students each year.
Next, the program profiles the late Charles Farnsley, former Louisville mayor, U.S. Congressman and champion of the arts.
Then, Candyce talks to David Karem, executive director of the Waterfront Development Corp., who discusses the progress of Louisville's Waterfront Park.
Finally, local rockers the Muckrakers share their music video "Lights of Louisville," which features several local landmarks.
