Episode No. 14 of the Art Throb Podcast features Guy Mendes, a Lexington photographer who began his photographic career almost by accident.  A young transplant from New Orleans, he arrived at the University of Kentucky in 1966 hoping to become a journalist. The following year, he attended a rally to hear Wendell Berry speaking out against the Vietnam War. The two struck up a friendship that would eventually lead him to Eyeglasses of Kentucky, Ralph Eugene Meatyard's optical shop and gallery where he would hang out in hopes of getting to tag along on photographic expeditions Meatyard and his friend Robert C May would take.While at UK Guy apprenticed under the late James Baker Hall (author/ photographer/UK faculty/and former Kentucky poet laureate).  He then went on to teach photography at UK himself for 14 years. His day job was at KET, where he was an award-winning documentarian as a writer/producer from 1973 until he retired in 2008.Guy Mendes has been photographing seriously, and sometimes not so seriously for over 50 years.  His most recent exhibition was a portrait show at the University of Kentucky Art Museum in 2022. Several of his photographic works are in the current show titled CONJURE at the  Loudoun House/Lexington Art League that will run Sept 17 – October 13.  This exhibition features work by 30 members of the Lexington Camera Club with 6 guest artists – teenagers from the northside of Lexington.  It is also part of the greater exhibition of photographs in the Louisville Photo biennial that was started in 1999 by four East Market Street Galleries in Louisville and has grown to now include more than 50 photographic exhibits at venues throughout Metro Louisville, Southern Indiana and Central Ky.  The Art League and the Downtown Library are the two Lexington participants.

Traditional rivalries are put aside on this special holiday week edition of Sustainability Now! as your host, Justin Mog, fills the studio with new friends from the University of Kentucky (UK) who have put together an exciting Studio Louisville pop-up exhibit about the future of the Preston Corridor here in Louisville! Our guests this week are: Carolina Segura Bell, Senior Lecturer in UK's Department of Landscape Architecture; Jeff Fugate, faculty in UK's School of Architecture and an urban planner by trade; and three senior Landscape Architecture students, Kimberly Chalk, Skyler Collins & Chloe Mattingly. They stopped into the studio while they were all in town on December 15th for the grand opening of the exhibit in a temporary space run by UofL's Urban Design Studio on the second floor of the Republic Building on Muhammad Ali Blvd. at 5th Street. Learn more at https://www.udstudio.org/stories/studio-louisville-exhibition Over the next several months through the pop-up space, the Urban Design Studio is looking to do some more exhibits, demonstration projects and urban prototyping that look at how the design of our city can improve human and environmental health. Exhibition: Studio Louisville | Preston Corridor Location: Healthful City Design Studio | Republic Building, Second Floor | 429 W Muhammad Ali Blvd, Louisville, KY 40202 Participants: University of Kentucky School of Architecture, School of Interiors, Department of Landscape Architecture, & Department of Geography Studio Louisville is a collaborative design studio at the University of Kentucky that treats design as a lever for promoting a healthier and more just future for Louisville and Jefferson County. In Fall 2021, a multidisciplinary group of graduate and undergraduate students from architecture, interiors, landscape architecture, geography, and urban design worked with a team of professional planners and consultants to analyze the diverse spatial qualities of the Preston Corridor and propose a series of multiscalar design interventions that align with the priorities of stakeholder groups represented in various planning documents. Focusing on issues of social equity, healthy environments, and climate justice, the exhibition assembles the student research and design work and invites visitors to engage in conversation about the possibilities for Preston Corridor. Metro Louisville is working to re-envision the Preston Corridor and is currently seeking public input at http://prestoncorridorplan.org. Extending 11 miles between downtown Louisville and the Jefferson County line, the Preston corridor connects many neighborhoods and people to jobs, shopping, entertainment, and key service and education centers including Louisville's hospital district and the University of Louisville. But this key corridor is made of disjointed parts and traveling along it can be challenging. Through this project, Metro is working with the Preston community to re-envision the corridor and develop a plan to guide future growth and redevelopment. We are also looking at how best to improve travel for all transportation modes, no matter if you're in a car, on a bus, on a bike or on foot.

Metro Louisville is growing. But which counties in the area are growing the fastest? We chat about that on this week's episode of the Access Louisville podcast. It's undoubtable that the city has seen a lot of people move into the urban core with neighborhoods like Germantown and Butchertown becoming hot places to live during the last 10 years. But new U.S. Census numbers show us that the fastest growth has actually taken place in the suburbs between 2010 and 2020.After the growth talk, we switch gears and talk about Louisville's brewing scene. There's a new taproom in Louisville from Ashville, North Carolina-based Hi-Wire Brewing.

This week on the show we were honored to welcome Congressman John Yarmuth!  Congressman Yarmuth has represented the third district of Kentucky (most of Metro Louisville) for six terms.  We spoke about the difference between serving now and when he was first elected, his current race against Vickie Yates Brown Glisson, his thoughts on the upset of Joe Crowley by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the current immigration debate, and what he would do as the chair of the House Budget Committee.  We even took some time to talk about legislative races in Kentucky.  It was a wide ranging conversation that we are excited to share with you! Before speaking with the Congressman, Jazmin and Robert talk about a federal judge overturning Kentucky's Medicaid Waiver, the city of Louisville's new principles for public art (especially with respect to confederate statues), and an Attorney General opnion about access to the capitol building.  It's a good show!  Thanks for listening!
