In an effort to make art an everyday part of our children’s lives, the Gallery established the Gallery Days program in cooperation with Louisville Academy. For every Gallery exhibit during the school year, the Gallery’s intern manager cooperates with Louisville Academy staff in planning class visits to the exhibit, including instructional presentations to help the students develop an understanding of basic artistic concepts, such as the distinction between representational and abstract art. Through this program, over time the Gallery has become a familiar community point of reference for many children who might not otherwise ever have visited this or any other art gallery as part of their elementary education. Based on the enthusiastic response from Louisville Academy students and staff, the Gallery has expanded Gallery Days to include Thomas Jefferson Academy and the Life Program for gifted students countywide. Soon to be added to the Gallery Days program -- Wrens and Carver Elementary Schools.
