Ryan Scott Guitars: Louisville custom crafted and repaired guitars [Music]

Ryan Scott Guitars: Louisville custom crafted and repaired guitars [Music]
Ryan Scott recently returned to hometown Louisville and set up his custom guitar shop at Mellwood Art Center. He repairs and custom crafts acoustic and electric guitars.

My son found a studio at the Mellwood Art Center that he dragged me to check out, saying it was super cool; he was right. In a world of computers, machines and robots, it's easy to forget some things still are finely hand crafted.  Ryan Scott is a custom guitar maker, making instruments with a fine artistic process (one that does make use of computers from time to time). His cozy workshop certainly held enough curiosity to pull us in. His friendly personality and passion made the art even more fascinating.

We're being invaded, wait, by Canadians? [Visual Art]

Canadian photographers are taking over Mellwood Art Center!

 

I’m no expert on war strategy, but if Canada were to invade the U.S. I would think they would start with the 13 states up north near the Canadian border. Instead, they’re headed right for Louisville. Their folly is our gain because they’re bringing over a dozen world-class photographers for the Canadians Invade Louisville exhibit at the Mellwood Art Center.
