Louisville native Anne Cooper Dobbins was a student at Washington University School of Fine Arts when she first met and studied under the abstract expressionist painter Stephen Pace. After she graduated, the two remained in touch and their student/teacher relationship evolved into a life-long friendship.

All along Frankfort Avenue shops were buzzing and the local patrons, as well as patrons coming from other areas, crowded Frankfort Avenue Friday night. Even though the Light up Louisville Festival was taking place just miles downtown it didn't put a damper on the spirits of the arts festivities or the crowds on Frankfort Ave. 

The little restaurants are nice and cozy, smells mixing in the air filled the night with delicious aromas, and shops were hopping. The Galleries were full of people both looking and buying that special gift for their families and friends.

In life, there are rites of passage that happen many times without notice or fanfare. It is a process that can be alarming or welcomed but always results in a change of identity. Artist Vadis Turner has beautifully captured this state of transformation from old self to new self in her new exhibition “Bowhead Down” showing at the Green Building Gallery, 732 East Market St. An opening reception will be held on the First Friday Trolley Hop, Nov. 4^th, 5-9 p.m.

It seems everyone is a budding photographer now that we have instant access to a camera whenever we want (thank you smart phones). Still, there’s a lot more to taking pictures than a push of a digital button. Louisville is being taken by storm by professional photographers from all over the country and even from our northern neighbors of Canada during the entire month of October.
