More than a decade ago, when I was a features reporter and entertainment columnist for The Courier-Journal, I also taught three nights a week at a now-defunct local college. While I loathed the for-profit model of the school, I loved my students, whose backgrounds varied from professionals seeking higher education for myriad reasons to individuals who were determined to make a better life for themselves and their families after facing poverty, homelessness and, sometimes, incarceration.

I was happy to be back in academia – I started out as a full-time college English instructor at Central Michigan University – and worked hard to incorporate the arts into my syllabus, regardless of the class I was teaching.

When 21c Museum Hotel first opened in Louisville, I covered it as a reporter and wrote about parties and events happening at the venue, the first of its kind. But as I learned more about the mission of its founders, Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, I fell in love. This was a place where art was for everyone, 365 days a year, not just those who could afford a room or dinner at the in-house restaurant, Proof on Main.

So, I asked permission to bring my class – many of whom used public transportation and ride shares to get where

they were going (Uber had yet to emerge and taxis were too expensive for most) – to 21c. Approval was swift, and I arrived early the evening of our tour, anticipating my students’ arrivals.

Once everyone had arrived, I welcomed them, ensured everyone understood the assignment – a simple reflection on the overall experience – and then gave the tour as if I were a docent.

I told my students about the art, the artists and the mission of Steve and Laura Lee, and even accompanied the entire class into the bathrooms to engage with the art (yes, 21c’s bathrooms are legendary). The small sea of students followed me as we explored until we wound up on the main floor, where we’d begun.

What happened next was incredible: “Thanks to Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson,” I began, “21c is a place where art is accessible to everyone. You never know who might be here, either.”

Just as I finished my words, two of my wayward students rushed out of the area reserved for Proof on Main. Breathless, one of them said, “Miss Fenton! Harrison Ford is in the bar!”

I chuckled, incredulous. “Harrison Ford?”

“Yes!” my student gasped. “It’s him!”

And it was.

Quickly, I gave my students a tutorial

on how to respectfully handle being in the presence of a celebrity who clearly didn’t want to be bothered. Selfies, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook were not a part of our world then, and everyone respected Mr. Ford’s privacy, though I tried to hide a smile as I watched them file past him, pretending to gaze at the artwork, barely able to contain themselves.

A week later I read the reflections from my students, and while they varied, every single essay had a shared gratitude – to Laura Lee and Steve, especially – for making art accessible to everyone. “(The trip to 21c) made me look at life in a different way I wasn’t used to,” wrote one student.

“I didn’t know I was allowed to come here (to 21c). Thank you for letting me see I am welcome, too,” wrote another, which broke my heart a little bit.

Art must be accessible to everyone.

And, as you’ll see throughout this issue, our arts organizations and museums work hard to ensure this is a reality in our community.

As you browse through this issue, I hope you come to appreciate Louisville’s arts community in a new way, just like my students did. And thank you for supporting the arts.

SLINGSHOT ANNOUNCES LAUNCH – A CHARITABLE INITIATIVE TO BUILD A MOBILE APP FOR ONE LOUISVILLE-AREA NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

Slingshot, a Louisville-based technology product development company, is giving back to the community in a big way with their new initiative – LAUNCH. LAUNCH will give one Louisville-area non-profit a custom designed and developed mobile application worth approximately $75,000. The company is currently asking the community to nominate their favorite charitable organizations at the program’s website – www.yslingshot.com/launch – or if you are a nonprofit, you can apply directly on the site. Initial applications are due by Oct. 5 with the nomination period closing a week earlier.

Any 501(c)(3) organization serving parties in the Greater Louisville area (including Southern Indiana) can be nominated. All nominated organizations will have the opportunity to submit an application sharing how a mobile application could assist and further their mission. All initial applications are due by Oct. 5, at which point the applications will be scored and narrowed down to a list of semi-finalists. The number of semi-finalists will be based on the number of worthy-applicants.

“For more than a decade, we’ve had the chance to work with a variety of amazing companies and organizations here in Louisville. We wanted to give back to the community that’s done so much for us – this was a way to make a real, lasting impact,” said David Galownia, president and founder of Slingshot. “We know there are so many non-profits that could further drive their mission and expand their reach through innovative technology. With tight budgets and increased demand, creating innovation solutions to problems is not feasible for many charities. We want to develop a high-tech solution to a problem for an organization that wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to do so.”

Slingshot will design, test and launch a mobile app for the winner who will be announced in February 2019. The group hopes to bring the new app to market by Fall 2019. Applicants are encouraged to bring bold ideas and a clear vision to the table and be ready to collaborate with Slingshot’s designers and developers. The panel, which includes members of the Slingshot team along with a representative from Metro United Way, the Mayor’s Office and Greater Louisville Inc., will determine the finalists and ultimately, the winning organization.

To nominate a local non-profit or apply directly, visit www.yslingshot.com/ launch. The Slingshot team will ensure all nominated groups receive an application to the LAUNCH program.

Slingshot, a technology innovation company, has developed technology solutions for companies like Kentucky Law Enforcement, PetFirst Pet Insurance, Churchill Downs and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago since opening in 2005. For a full timeline, program rules and details please visit www.yslingshot.com/launch. Any additional questions can be emailed to launch@yslingshot.com

SEVEN VOLUNTEERS ARE ON A MISSION TO DRIVE ARTS ENGAGEMENT Ignites of the Roundtable, one of six teams participating in Leadership Louisville Center’s Ignite Louisville program, is collaborating with Fund for the Arts to increase participation to Louisville-based arts events.

“We have a world-class arts scene in Greater Louisville,” said JP Davis, senior vice president at Fund for the Arts. “It’s crucial that we continue to promote and advocate the phenomenal breadth and depth of arts and cultural offerings across the community. Our scene is a major hook attracting top talent to move here as well as enhances our overall quality of life. Having the ‘Ignites of the Roundtable’ team working on increasing engagement is a win for venues and organizations across the region.”

The team is currently exploring ways to increase engagement, and one of the avenues is through the Arts Card, which is gifted to those who donate $52 or more per year to the Fund. In return, the Arts Card provides discounts and special offers to a wide variety of performances and exhibits. While the Arts Card offers hundreds of dollars in discounts, its usage has steadily declined in recent years.

“The Arts Card, no doubt, needs a refresh,” said Kathryn Luttner, a member of Ignites of the Roundtable. “But we’re also exploring other ways to increase engagement and are collaborating closely with the Louisville arts community. The ultimate goal is to get butts in seats, and that may or may not be with the Arts Card.”

The seven-person team will work into the fall on this project, concluding with a presentation in October where a panel of judges will award one Ignite group’s nonprofit with a $1,500 prize. All members of Ignites of the Roundtable include Justin Grant, Texas Roadhouse; Joe Hedges, Hilliard Lyons; Kathryn Luttner, Yum! Brands, Inc.; Vanessa Rogers, Dinsmore & Shohl, LLP; Ben U’Sellis, Charter Communications; Glenn Roberts, Dant Clayton Corporation; and Kim Rice, River City Housing.

Acting Against Cancer

F

or nearly two decades, Acting Against Cancer (AAC) has impacted the city of Louisville with its commitment to helping those affected by the disease.

Through their dynamic productions and engaging programs for children, the organization continues to use musical theater as a means to affect change. To learn the latest about what AAC has been up to, we spoke with the nonprofit’s artistic director, Remy Sisk.

WHAT’S IN THE WORKS Although AAC announced its 2018-19 season in November 2017, the company is currently going through a bit of a restructuring. “We are, of course, ultra stoked to – for the fifth year in a row – present ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ at PLAY Louisville in October,” says Sisk. “This year, we’ll be performing the last weekend of October as well as on Halloween night. We’re also taking the show, for the second year, to PLAY Nashville earlier in the month.”

In addition, AAC will begin the third year of after-school children’s programming this fall. “This is where elementary and middle school-aged kids can come two days a week and receive comprehensive musical theater instruction,” says Sisk. “This semester, the fall class will culminate with a performance of ‘The Addams Family,’ which I am super excited about.” Registration for that program is open on their website, actingagainstcancer.com.

HOW AAC IS EVOLVING “We used to be sort of a middleman for donations,” Sisk explains. “We would stage big events, like musicals, to raise money that we would then donate to various worthy organizations. I’m exceedingly proud now, though, that we have become the cause ourselves.

“In our after school programs, any child who has been touched by cancer (in some way) may attend our programs for free,” he continues. “Through these classes, they are then able to discover the healing power of the arts and what performing can do for their mental and physical health. Recently, through the generous support of the Jennifer Lawrence Arts Fund and Fund for the Arts, we received an ArtsMatch grant to help improve and overhaul our children’s programming. I’m very much looking forward to seeing how that funding is going to enhance the experience we offer these amazing kids. Elsewhere, our mainstage season is constantly growing and expanding as our productions get more and more robust. In fact, a video from our production of ‘Heathers the Musical’ recently hit 1 million views on YouTube!”

A DRAMATIC IMPACT “As we are proud to now assert ourselves as a cause of our own, we have not donated for a few years,” Sisk says of the change in their philanthropic strategy. “But in the past, we did make various contributions to Norton Children’s Hospital, including 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

the donation of a complete blood count machine to the hematology/oncology clinic as well as financial support for the expressive art therapy program within the Addison Jo Blair Cancer Care Center. Outside of Norton, we contributed funding to Ellie Cat’s Crew and fully sponsored the game room at Gilda’s Club Louisville.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP There are several ways community members can get involved with AAC. “First and foremost, come to our shows!” exclaims Sisk. “Throughout the year, we offer a wide variety of musical theater programming, bringing some of the most contemporary cutting-edge musicals to the Louisville stage for the first time. In the last few years, we have presented the regional premieres of ‘Spring Awakening,’ Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ and ‘Rock of Ages,’ as well as acclaimed productions of ‘The Addams Family,’ ‘The Last Five Years,’ ‘Legally Blonde,’ ‘Heathers the Musical’ and most recently, ‘Carrie the Musical.’”

If watching a traditional musical isn’t your thing, you can join AAC for a spooky good time this fall. “Come do the Time Warp with us as we present ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ every October at PLAY Louisville,” Sisk says. “We are also always looking for volunteers to help with shows. Meanwhile, if you know of a child touched by cancer, you can always refer the family to us and 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

we can discuss performance opportunities within our after-school programs. For more information on any of this, please reach out to me at remy@actingagainstcancer.com.”

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION THROUGH AUG 15. CALL 502-438-8865 TO REGISTER.

THE GIVE FOR GOOD GOAL During this year’s Give for Good Louisville, taking place on Sept. 13, AAC hopes to raise at least $2,000 to further their impact. “More funding would really kick off our kids’ fall semester in the best way and set us up for success as we move into ‘Rocky Horror’ season,” said Sisk. “There’s also a super-cool collaboration in the works that I can’t talk about yet, but some funds geared toward that would really be significant.”

D I ST I L L E RY

PERFORMING FOR THE COMMUNITY “I know it can be confusing to hear about Acting Against Cancer: Are they a theater company, a place for kids programming or a charity?” Sisk admits. “The truth is, we’re all three. We take our mainstage shows very seriously and proudly offer professional-level productions for a community-level price-point. We hope that those who attend our shows do learn a little about what we do with the kids and how we’re using the power of the performing arts to make a difference. I’m always ready to talk more about what we’ve got going on and discuss shows, kids classes or even sponsorship opportunities.” VT 11

Teddy Talks Style & More Interview by Miranda McDonald Photos by Andrea Hutchinson

Y

ou may already know a lot about Teddy Abrams: He is the music director for the Louisville Orchestra, he began playing piano at the age of five and he has a digital series called “Music Makes a City Now” that was picked up by PBS. But what you may not know about the musical prodigy is that he owns a pair of Jimmy Choo sneakers, has an impressive collection of vintage pieces from various designers that he’s accrued over the years and a hardback copy of “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” – a tribute to America’s first couturier – rests on an end table in his home among a pile of music sheets and instruments.

It’s this unknown side of the conductor – the undercover fashion aficionado – that inspired us to sit down with Abrams to discuss how personal style is just another extension of how he expresses himself as an artist.

The Voice-Tribune: So Teddy, how would you describe your style?

Teddy Abrams: I will say that people don’t normally ask me this question. (Laughs.) I am not sure why.

Well, then this should be an easy interview for you.

(Laughs.) In my role, there are certain expectations of what a conductor looks like – particularly a young conductor. And in this city, I must remember that everywhere I go, I am always representing the orchestra and there is always a professional element to whatever I do. Even if the situation seems totally relaxed and with friends, I know I am always representing something that is much bigger than just myself.

Having said that though, I think that as a musician and as an artist I actually let myself go a tiny bit in the direction of creative dressing. Well, just enough to inspire my own ability to wake up in the morning and put clothes on. (Laughs.) Otherwise, I probably just wouldn’t care about it. So, I need something that inspires me when I get out of bed.

12

Have you always been into fashion?

No. As a young musician, I was totally averse to it. I thought it should only be about the music and the art itself.

What changed?

About five years ago, I realized that things needed a serious upgrade. My clothes needed an upgrade. My hair needed a serious upgrade. I realized that my environments, including what I put on, had a certain dingy and depressing quality about them.

And in the artistic world, people do judge you on how you look and how you present yourself. I am not actually saying that is totally wrong. I just realized you should present yourself in a way that represents your own brand and who you are.

I saw this new awareness as an opportunity to really look at how I presented myself to others and to be smart about it. I started educating myself on what makes fashion interesting and what makes something work for the individual – not just if something is expensive, but if it works within an aesthetic that can be appealing and interesting while also comfortable.

I’m sure the comfort factor influences what you wear while conducting the orchestra.

Most people that need to present themselves in an artistic and fashionable way in their day-to-day jobs don’t also need to move 360 degrees with their arms, shoulders and back. As a conductor, that is exactly what you are doing. Not to mention that it is quite aerobic, especially the way I do it.

I also bike everywhere, and that is another element. So, I need something that can get me from place to place and I still look presentable for a donor meeting, staff meeting or even coffee with a cool new artist that we are trying to work with. Being comfortable yet professional is important.

This is very true.

I mean, I can’t just show up drenched everywhere I go.

So, what’s the secret to not being drenched everywhere you go?

As it turns out, I don’t sweat very much.

Teddy, I think that means you’re dehydrated!

(Laughs.) Well, I deliberately don’t drink much water. It’s good to stay edgy. You want everything in slight survival mode. The ultimate artistic productivity is the result of deprivation.

Anyway, that is when creativity really kicks in. That is why I limit myself when it comes to consumption of certain things.

How would you describe your personal style?

One thing I recognize about mass-produced clothing in America is that we try to take the common element in the way Americans look, which is widely divergent as we know, and create something that will fit most body types. A lot of that just doesn’t look great on my particular body type.

The armpits are too low and the shoulders are often too wide. I never recognized that before. Then, I started to notice that I have a body that works with certain brands and one that doesn’t work with others. As soon as I recognized that, my perspective on dressing completely changed.

So, back to your question. I would say that my style is a bit edgy but always professional enough. It also has a European element to it because they tend to make clothes that fit my body better.

Yes, they tend to make clothes that are more fitted to the body.

Exactly. I am not at all trying to be Euro-ish; that’s not my thing as an individual. Their clothing is just generally cut to form the contours of someone with my 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

body type, so the fit is better for me.

When I got my first job, I decided that I really wanted to get a suit that looked good.

I did a lot of research on it and went to this place in New York called Michael Andrews Bespoke. They were a place where people could go and get an affordable bespoke suit.

It was (still)pricey but also affordable for someone who wanted a great, custom suit. It was worth the cost.

I used that suit from the day I got it delivered all the way up until this year when it finally fell apart. It made it through seven years. That is seven whole years of sweating and moving a great deal at festivals and concerts. I recognize that it was a beautiful piece of clothing that was designed just for me. I customize music for our audience at the orchestra, so I love the idea of clothes being custom-made for people and actual thought going into them.

Instead of just being massed-produced and sent out to the shelves.

Exactly! I appreciate the idea of clothes being made to fit people and their different personalities.

I also have a lot of respect for brands like Hood by Air. I actually have a piece that I need to show you, but it is really out there for me. It is this tuxedo jacket that has short sleeves.

Wait, why are we not photographing that for this article?

I have worn it a few times.

I learned a lot from “The Devil Wears Prada.”

I should have known you’ve seen that movie!

The director, we did a show together in Miami. He is a supporter of my former orchestra. We did a show where he was the host for this big fundraiser concert for the orchestra and I was the conductor. (Laughs.)

He made so many jokes about how I hadn’t yet had my bar mitzvah. His name is David Frankel. He made at least eight jokes about my age. He is a really nice guy, though.

But you know how she (Miranda Priestley) talks about the color blue and how the decision to use it in a collection passes through many before it is created?

Yes, they’re comparing two belts. The color they are discussing is actually cerulean blue. I’m also well-versed in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’-speak.

14

0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

That was a great scene for anyone who has questions about how much thought goes into the craft of real fashion design.

Yes, I agree.

So, do you have any go-to pieces you rely on or staples you gravitate towards?

Most of the time I am wearing some version of jeans with some version of either a polo or t-shirt. It’s funny though, because I really like to collect these weirder items or things that are a lot edgier than I would normally go. I get so excited as if I am going to actually wear them, but then I chicken out all the time.

Why? You should just wear them!

LIFE

Of course, if Anne Hathaway’s character would have had a little more fire in her she would have just said: “So, I don’t care!” But she didn’t. She just sat there as if she had an epiphany, which was the whole point.

(Laughs.) I get it.

You know, I am kind of this clean-cut Jewish kid, so there is only so far I can go without seeming like a total buffoon. That’s not really the look I am going for. There are a lot of people who can pull that off all the time. I could probably pull it off with a lot of thought and effort for a very specific thing.

But I would still have to have the confidence to wear it well, and most of the time I (have) zero confidence when it comes to dressing out of my comfort zone.

I think that if a piece of clothing makes you happy, you should just wear it.

Confidence really is a huge part of dressing. You could walk into a room with a beautiful designer gown on and still look silly if you are uncomfortable in it.

Tell Me A “O Story…

StageOne’s StoryTellers leap from the page to a child’s imagination

ne more story, please?!?” is a mantra many moms and dads hear nearly every day. Now, StageOne Family Theatre is stepping in to help with the launch of StoryTellers this season.

The program takes beloved children’s books and brings them to life through imagination, music and plenty of audience interaction. It’s geared toward children ages two through eight and provides an afternoon of imagination and exploration that makes reading fun.

“Children this age are very curious about the world around them,” said Hannah Wemitt, StageOne director of education.

“They ask a lot of questions and love to engage in the process. By using familiar storybooks, we invite them to take the journey with our actors by becoming storytellers themselves in a unique way.”

Each program features three to four book titles as told by three actors – with the addition of a live musician, costumes, props and projections of each page onto a screen in the background.

StoryTellers premieres Aug. 25 for StageOne audiences. “Our first StoryTellers theme is TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, BAD and will feature ‘Dragon Was Terrible’ by Kelly DiPucchio, ‘Horrible Bear’ by Ame Dyckman and ‘The Bad Seed’ by Jory John,” said Wemitt. “Each of these titles explore characters with terrible habits, horrible manners and bad attitudes and moments that brought about change.”

The theme of the September StoryTellers event is I’M NOT AFRAID! with “Never Tickle a Tiger” by Pamela Butchart, “Scaredy Squirrel” by Melanie Watt and “What the Ladybird Heard” by Julia Donaldson.

aged to sit on the floor around the performers and help tell the story through music, art and creative experiences. Children leap into the story itself and often become an integral part of the action. “Most of our seating is on carpet squares on the floor, encouraging families to jump in and play with us,” said Wemitt.

“Another reason we incorporate the book pages on the projector screen is for our guests with autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing disorder.

“We’re bringing a lot of new stories into our season that I’m really excited about, including ‘Never Tickle a Tiger,’” added Wemitt. “The main character, Izzy, is constantly told to stop fidgeting, squirming and bouncing and one day finds herself in a heap of trouble at the zoo. I love this story because it looks at consequences in a fun way but also encourages solving our own problems, which is very empowering for a young child.”

The actors love performing some of their 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

childhood favorites as well. “You can’t really go wrong as an actor, as the kids are so willing to buy into what you’re doing,” said StoryTeller Megan Adair. “They allow themselves to believe. I love that we’re reinforcing to kids that their imagination is the key component in acting out stories.”

Wemitt agreed. “I love watching the children experience the joy and fun in the storytelling. Their eyes light up, and they jump up on their feet when they know what’s on the next page. It’s like being at a high-energy concert. They’re connecting the dots and through each story are learning amazing lessons on kindness, empathy and making mistakes.

But, the twist is watching the parents get just as excited. For 45 minutes, it’s anything goes – we’re all taking the ride and there are no expectations other than having fun.”

StageOne has enriched the lives of young audiences and the communities that surround them for longer than I have been alive.

As StageOne kicks off its 72nd season, the theater company also — Idris Goodwin welcomes Idris Goodman as the company’s new producing artistic director. Goodwin succeeds Peter Holloway, who recently left after 11 years with the theater.

Goodwin brings more than 16 years of experience in theater and the performing arts to StageOne. A playwright, director, orator, poet and educator, Goodwin has covered all aspects of theater in his career. For StageOne, he wrote and produced “American Tales” and the widely produced “And In This Corner: Cassius Clay,” winner of the 2017 Distinguished Play Award from The American Association of Theatre and Education. His work has been widely recognized and includes the critically acclaimed play “How We Got On,” developed at the O’Neill National Playwrights Conference, which premiered in Actors Theatre of Louisville’s 2012 Humana Festival. His one-act “Black Flag” was produced Off-Broadway.

Goodwin’s poetry has appeared on HBO, The Discovery Channel, The BBC, NPR, Sesame Street and National Public

Radio. A seasoned educator, Goodwin has taught across the United States and was most recently an assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at Colorado College, where he was voted Teacher of the Year.

“StageOne has enriched the lives of young audiences and the communities that surround them for longer than I have been alive,” said Goodwin. “What an incredible honor to be able to further weave myself into its indelible legacy.”

In addition to StoryTellers and other stage and educational programs offered by StageOne, the company’s mainstage season kicks off in October with Goodwin’s adaptation of “Frankenstein.” Holiday favorite “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” returns in December and will feature 32 local student actors.

In 2019, StageOne presents Judy Blume’s “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing,” and the season closes with “The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.”

StageOne is recognized as one of the nation’s leading professional theaters for children, reaching more than 80,000 young people, their families and teachers each season. VT

BREAKING THE MOLD Now through Sept. 9 Speed Art Museum AFTER HOURS AT THE SPEED, FEATURING “IT DO TAKE NERVE: DRAG AS A SUBVERSIVE TOOL OF RESISTANCE” 5 to 10 p.m. Aug. 17 speedmuseum.org/events

‘It Do A Take Nerve’ A R T S & E N T E R TA I N M E N T

The Speed Art Museum’s new exhibition is turning heads and sparking conversations

provocative exhibition at the Speed Art Museum has been turning heads and fostering conversation all summer. The museum plans to amp up that conversation on Aug. 17 at its popular, monthly After Hours event, with a drag show and open conversation with WFPL’s “Strange Fruit” podcast co-hosts Dr. Kaila Story and Jaison Gardner. The event is part of the Dialogues on Gender series at the Speed in conjunction with “Strange Fruit” and the exhibition “Breaking the Mold: Investigating Gender at the Speed Art Museum.”

Story and Gardner will present the lecture “It Do Take Nerve: Drag as a Subversive Tool of Resistance,” along with a multimedia presentation. A discussion and Q&A with the audience will follow. Later, Play Louisville will present a drag show at the Speed as part of After Hours.

The audience will learn about the history of drag as a socio-political tool of resistance throughout the course of modern history – from Kentucky’s own James “Sweet Evening Breeze” Herndon to New York City’s House Ball culture and RuPaul Charles.

“We will examine drag as a queer art form that is subversive to mainstream notions of identity, race, culture, gender identity and sexuality,” said Story. “Drag as an art form has always challenged those notions and even ideas of race and culture that have been thought to be innate, natural or biological.”

“The drag queen, the fem queen and the drag king are gender outlaws,” said Gardner.

“They are individuals who push and pull at the edges of racialized gender and sexual performance, disrupting ideas that gender and expressions of sexuality are intrinsically tied to the sex we are assigned at birth.”

Gardner added, “Drag also distorts normative ideas about ‘the genders’ and the types of attributes, attitudes, behaviors and performance that are thought to belong to either men or women. It challenges that which is thought to be ‘natural’ or ‘fixed.’”

Story is an associate professor in the departments of women’s and gender studies and Pan-African studies and the Audre Chair in Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Louisville. Along with Gardner, she is also a co-creator and co-host of WFPL’s “Strange Fruit: Musings on Politics, Pop Culture & Black Gay Life,” a popular and award-winning weekly podcast focusing on social justice and pop culture.

Gardner is a social justice activist, health educator and community organizer. He is a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Louisville and is a current board member of the Louisville Pride Festival.

The drag show at the Speed is a first for the museum. “The response to (our) Dialogues on Gender (series) has been phenomenal. We’ve loved seeing people of all ages actively participate in the discussion and ask 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

thoughtful questions,” said Miranda Lash, curator of contemporary art. “The public can expect a lively conversation that is designed to be educational and engaging. Kaila (Story) and Jaison (Gardner) are experts at making everyone in the audience feel welcome to participate, and the runway show in the Great Hall will be festive.”

The Dialogues on Gender lecture series, which has run monthly through the summer, ties into the Speed’s current exhibition, “Breaking the Mold: Investigating Gender at the Speed Art Museum.”

“Breaking the Mold is designed to facilitate discussion about gender and power,” said Gardner. “It explores representation of gender identity through embodiment, dress, objects and history. To that end, all of the lectures in our series have examined the ways in which particular groups of people navigate issues of gender and sexuality and how the ways in which we see ourselves or are seen by others is influenced by intersecting factors including race, class or social location.”

Story and Gardner’s series of gender discussions have proved popular this summer at the Speed.

“The entire Dialogues on Gender series has been a first-of-its-kind partnership between ‘Strange Fruit’ and the Speed Art Museum, and we both have been involved from its inception in the planning and design of each lecture,” said Story. “The ‘Y’all Better 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

Our society has consciously or subconsciously socialized everyone within it to be sexist, misogynist, transphobic and homophobic.

— Jaison Gardner

Quiet Down: Trans Advocacy and Safety’ presentation in June featured DJ SYIMONE and Dawn Wilson as guest panelists. ‘Living a Feminist Life’ in July featured Paddy Johnson of (New York’s) Art F City as a guest panelist.

August’s ‘It Do Take Nerve’ event will be a great way to advance the conversation.”

Story added that audiences so far have been extremely engaged, with the June event running more than an hour over schedule because of the lively discourse.

“These discussions remain important and timely because, indeed, we are living in precarious times politically, but really, throughout time, no matter who was ‘in charge,’ society has frequently misinterpreted and misunderstood gender, gender identity and sexuality, especially as embodied by people of color,” said Gardner.

“Our society has consciously or subconsciously socialized everyone within it to be sexist, misogynist, transphobic and homophobic,” added Gardner. “These discussions will remain pertinent and timely until we all unlearn and eradicate these beliefs.” VT

21c Museum Hotel’s restaurant thrives in a creative atmosphere

urely, most locals tell their out-of-town guests that 21c Museum Hotel is renowned for its striking artwork.

The massive, golden rendering of Michelangelo’s “David” seems just as much a part of our downtown streetscape as the Mercer building (formerly known as the Aegon Center but renamed 400 WEST MARKET in 2014).

However, there is more to 21c than the exquisite art and superior rooms and suites. Proof on Main, the hotel’s restaurant, is one of the city’s finest and most innovative dining establishments.

With its diverse, primarily locally-sourced menu, Proof continues year after year to be a destination for locals as well as those visiting the city.

Executive Chef Mike Wajda has been with Proof for three years. He was originally intrigued due to its farmto-table foundation as well as the art aspect of the restaurant and how it worked in tandem with that of the hotel.

“I kind of dug into the culture of 21c and what they stood for as an art museum hotel,” he remembers. “It really resonated with the things I think about when it comes to food and restaurants.”

When Wajda joined the team, Proof was known for its creative Southern cuisine under the brilliant leadership of Levon Wallace.

But Southern isn’t really Wajda’s style, though he can certainly appreciate it. As 21c considers all of their hotels’ eateries to be chef-driven, they allowed Wajda to mix it up.

“I grabbed a bourbon, and I walked through the hotel

and said, ‘21c: What are the boundaries and what does it stand for?’” Wajda recalls.

“And there was nothing defining what 21c was. We use any art we want and any artists we want, and there’s no box. You just have to be a living artist in the 21st century – that’s it. So I said, ‘We’re going to do the same thing with the restaurant.’”

Thus, the menu at Proof became extraordinarily eclectic, featuring dishes that took inspiration from across the globe.

But they had to avoid looking like a restaurant with an identity crisis and a phonebook-sized menu. Wajda insisted that, while they could use any cooking style or technique, the ingredients, as much as they could, had to come from the Ohio River Valley.

Though Wajda says there was a bit of skepticism about his plan, the gamble proved fruitful as Proof has consistently continued to reap praise from critics and diners alike for its commitment to innovation and artistry as well as flavor profiles and execution. A good deal of that has to do with the primarily locally-sourced ingredients and the chef’s dedication to the farm-to-table concept. Wajda is eager to take what the farmers bring and find ways to use it to the fullest extent.

For example, the team recently received a whole hog from Woodland Farm. The belly and loin went to porchetta, the head to head cheese and the shoulders to braise for pasta, which left Wajda the trotters.

With the freedom and innovation that is inherent in Proof’s identity, Wajda deboned the trotters, left the 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

skin and hoof on, rolled down the skin and stuffed it with Calabrian chili sausage. He subsequently rolled the skin back up and roasted it at a high heat to make the skin especially crispy and then served a cutting on top of a vindaloo curry with chickpeas, double creamed spinach and charred eggplant. It is an absolutely remarkable dish.

Part of why this creativity abounds is no doubt due to the fact that Wajda and his team are literally surrounded by it. The dining room is adorned with an art exhibition, which motivates the culinary side to maintain the brand’s supreme aesthetics. “You eat with your eyes first, and we say we’re dining with art, so we want the plate to look just as aesthetically pleasing as the things that are around us,” he says. “So hopefully, you’re being wowed by the presentation of the food as well as the flavors that go along with it. The same way some of our artists in the hotel are being presented, we’re doing the same thing in the kitchen, as my cooks are artists as well.”

As Wajda continues to infuse his menu with the art that is synonymous with 21c and Proof’s identity, he hopes that this sort of culinary philosophy will set a new precedent in Louisville. “I hope to pave the way for other great restaurants to come into the city and do more refined food,” he contends. “I think being able to elevate the dining scene in Kentucky with all the other great restaurants here, collectively, would be the best thing that could happen.” VT PROOF ON MAIN 702 W.

At Home With AUTUMN CLEVELAND A few of the athlete’s favorite things

By Janice Carter Levitch

A

s a professional bodybuilder, Autumn Cleveland is mostly known for her expertise in fitness and nutrition. She recently earned her IFBB Professional Figure Competitor title and status, which took her 15 years to accomplish through intense discipline and training. However, she has a private side that is beginning to open up through art. Painting has always been a part of Cleveland’s life, but she packed that talent away for several years as she focused on fitness as a full-time career.

This focus changed when a close friend battled cancer. Cleveland began expressing her feelings with a canvas, paint and brushes.

The painting she created is titled, “Phoenix,” and shows a woman screaming in silence as her hair bursts into flames. Through her art, Cleveland has found a way to communicate emotion, and her talent has been revived.

“Music and art are two of the things that pull me together at moments when life slows down,” Cleveland explained. “I can open up to my own expression in art and recreate that on a canvas with my paints. Sometimes I sink a little low in my thoughts, and I can’t

express that in fitness, but I’m able to do that with my art.

“I’ve also painted portraits of Arnold Schwarzenegger because I see him at fitness competitions that I participate in,” she continued. “He actually autographed one of them and I have it hanging in my home as a reminder of the artistic side of my personality and to keep nurturing it.”

Cleveland recently welcomed The Voice-Tribune into her home to share a few of her favorite things.

1. ‘THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED’

BY M. SCOTT PECK, M.D. “My dad had this book in college and read it so many times (that) it’s coming apart now,” Cleveland said. “He told me it helped him get through his college days, and we relate very much in our college-life struggles. It’s so cool because at times when I was seeking self-growth, I would go back to this book and read certain chapters, specifically targeting discipline and love. No matter how old I get, it’s a book I can go back to for inspiration. I feel like it helped my dad become who he is, and it can help me, too.”

2. HANDMADE CARDS A simple cigar box holds handmade cards and thank you notes that Cleveland keeps as mementos from special family members and friends. “This box holds a lot of time and thought from other people. These are handmade cards that my mother lovingly took the time to create and send to me. It’s rare that someone will send you a card in the mail because it’s just so much easier to text these days. There are also cards from friends and other family members. It’s a box of time, energy and love from other people that I keep in my dad’s cigar box,” Cleveland said.

Cleveland’s original painting, “Phoenix.”

3. ‘PHOENIX’ PAINTING Cleveland’s original painting was created on a day when she felt overwhelmed. “This painting is the process of evolving because change is painful,” Cleveland said. “There’s a lot of loss you have to face sometimes, and you don’t know if you can handle it. There are times when you combust and fade into the ashes, but some people combust and regenerate. So, this is the painful process of regenerating to evolve into something stronger.”

4. AIRBORNE PATCH “This patch was given to me by one of my clients who I’ve coached for three years. It’s from his Army uniform when he was leading the 82nd Airborne Division into combat in Afghanistan. Symbolizing leadership and a thank you from him. It’s the most meaningful gift I’ve ever received from a client,” Cleveland said. “This reminds me that I’m doing a good job.”

5. SCRAPBOOK The scrapbook contains the souvenirs from Cleveland’s relationship with the love of her life, Derek Sawyer. On the inside cover, she’s written the story of their relationship.

“Ticket stubs, funny greeting cards, special notes and so many other memories are kept here. We are business and training partners, he supports my art, and he’s always there for me. He’s my best friend and I just love keeping all these little things as a reminder of our unique relationship,” Cleveland said with a smile. VT 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Now more than ever, Fund for the Arts is changing the cultural landscape of Louisville

By Laura Ross Photos by Kathryn Harrington

C

hristen Boone, president and CEO of Fund for the Arts, can barely contain her excitement.

“Louisville has a very rich history of incredible support for our arts and culture,” she said. “We’ve had generations of people who have experienced arts and culture in their schools and neighborhoods, and you have generations that believe in the power of the arts to invigorate this community.”

As Fund for the Arts moves into its 70th year in Louisville, and long-time donors and corporations shift priorities and evolve with the times, it might seem like Louisvillians would become complacent in giving.

Not so, said Boone. In fact, Fund for the Arts recently announced the results of its 2018 campaign, which showed record highs in the number of grants made and organizations, schools and individual artists and counties served.

The state of the arts in Louisville is good, if not great.

Fund for the Arts was founded as a regional nonprofit with the mission to maximize and drive economic development, education and quality of life through the arts in the community.

“The Fund for the Arts has helped our community be a leading city of arts and culture,” said Boone. “It is how we sell ourselves as a community, how we attract talent and businesses and visitors.

Boone is thankful for the energy and support that York Day provided to Fund for the Arts during the campaign. “Her leadership brought an incredible amount of energy, innovation and an outside-the-box approach,” said Boone. “She challenged us to think of how Louisville not just takes a step forward, but (consider) how can Louisville leap and take giant steps.”

Nearly 20,000 donors invested in the Fund for the Arts in 2018.

Boone believes that in addition to a long community tradition of supporting the arts, the community took note of national discussions and controversies surrounding the possible defunding of the National Endowment for the Arts and other sources of arts funding that were challenged. “It got people’s attention,” said Boone. “It brought home the concept that the arts are not a ‘nice to have’ but a ‘must have’ in our culture. We can’t take that for granted.

“What we find,” she added, “is that people want to be a part of giving and active communities, and they want to be sure that there are opportunities for people from every neighborhood to be able to experience the arts and

create and participate in the arts themselves.”

A prime example of the on-the-ground benefit is through grants to organizations like Actors Theatre. “The Fund for the Arts is our largest donor, and we simply could not do what we do without their support,” said Elizabeth Greenfield, public relations and communications manager at Actors Theatre.

“Special performances of our productions, like the sensory-friendly performance of ‘Little Bunny Foo Foo,’ a world premiere play

by Anne Washburn with music from Tony Award-winner Dave Malloy, and this season’s first sensory-friendly performance of Fifth Third’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ are made possible by this funding.”

Greenfield also pointed to the The New Voices Young Playwrights Festival, which provides middle and high school students with fully-produced productions performed, directed and designed by members of the Professional Training Company. “Grants from the Fund support our in-school residency programs, like New Voices Playwriting Residencies,” said Greenfield. “Last season, our teaching artists hosted about 20 residencies for over 500 students, which translated to nearly 200 combined hours in the classroom.”

Across town at the Louisville Central Community Centers, Erica Bledsaw works to expand arts and youth education programs for young people in the Russell neighborhood and other surrounding inner-city areas.

“The Fund for the Arts is such a huge asset and provides the funding necessary to keep the arts alive,” said Bledsaw, manager of youth education and fine arts at Louisville Central Community Centers. “The funding helped us produce a Broadway revue that was held at the Clifton Center in April. The group is called The Youth Repertory Theater Troupe of Louisville and our music teachers were contract artists provided to us by Kosair Kids and the Louisville Youth Choir.”

When you include arts and culture in the planning process, you can truly bring unique and powerful solutions to many of our community’s challenges.

— Christen Boone

A performance at Louisville Central Community Center.

Grants from Fund for the Arts also reach fledgling writers at Sarabande Books, a Louisville-based literary publisher. Kristen Miller, editor and director of educational programming at Sarabande Books, pointed to a specific program for writers who might otherwise never see their stories published.

“Sarabande Writing Labs exist to cultivate writers and extend a platform to those whose voices too often go unheard,” she explained. “We work with refugees, survivors of abuse, justice-involved youth and those living with homelessness, addiction and disability. Their voices are so vital and necessary, and we strive to promote their writing as widely as possible. Thanks to the Emerging Leader in the Arts Award, I’ve been given the chance to raise awareness about these writers and their work to thousands more in our community.”

The outreach to such a wide berth of various arts organizations is part of a paradigm shift that Fund for the Arts adopted this past year from traditional fundraising efforts to a more impact-focused model.

By changing the focus and method of its grantmaking, the Fund was able to support a larger number of newer, broader groups and serve a wider range of the community, which in turn, has bolstered the entire arts sector.

This includes large-scale collaborative initiatives, like the Cultural Pass, which partners family-friendly events and activities with 48 different museums, historical sites and other arts organizations in several counties surrounding Louisville.

It’s all a part of driving Imagine Greater Louisville 2020, the community’s plan for transforming the Greater Louisville region through the creative power of arts and culture. “This is a cultural plan built not on the needs for the arts, but on the needs of this community and how you can use the unique strengths of our arts and culture landscape to 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

help transform and advance our community as a whole,” said Boone. “When you include arts and culture in the planning process, you can truly bring unique and powerful solutions to many of our community’s challenges.”

Imagine Greater Louisville 2020 resulted from feedback from nearly 5,000 residents of the region, provided by public meetings, interviews and surveys. In February, Fund for the Arts announced a regional call for arts and culture proposals to activate the plan. In late July, the Fund announced the first recipients of the Imagine Greater Louisville 2020 grants.

Grants were awarded to 10 artists and groups and included diverse organizations such as Kentucky Shakespeare’s Shakespeare Tour, the Louisville Youth Orchestra’s NouLou&YOUth program, the Bullitt County Arts Council’s Art Reach project and the Historical Society of Harrison County’s jazz concert in Corydon Square among others.

Boone sees the results of the 2018 Fund for the Arts campaign as a huge victory for arts in the region. “Personally, I am most excited when I see so many organizations aligned around the priority to increase arts impact for families. When we have artists and organizations that are bringing their creative genius to bear for others, it’s motivating and energizing to see that.”

And Boone is ready to keep going. “We have great momentum for 2019,” she said.

“As we continue to integrate the arts into our lives, we also want to elevate Louisville as a leading force in the arts. It’s imperative that we tell our story and attract talent and business and engage people in the creative sector. It’s important to encourage our civic and corporate leaders to think about what is next for Louisville – that is the focus moving forward. The power of the arts truly impacts our community.” VT

Heritage tasting flight at the Frazier History Museum.

reland is a place I’ve often daydreamed about visiting. Traveling to such a faraway destination isn’t always easy, but sometimes a lucky leprechaun comes along and creates a little magic. This is what happened when the Farm to Frazier: Kentucky by Way of Ireland dinner was held at the Frazier History Museum. The brilliant minds who put on this affair included Michael Reidy, owner of the Irish Rover, who joined culinary forces with the president and CEO of the Frazier, Penny Peavler, along with Robert Bleifer, Food Network executive chef and vice president of culinary.

Reidy has the most delightful Irish accent and keeps you engaged with anecdotes and quotes that have great importance. “If you trust someone with the small things, you will trust them with the big things,” Reidy said, quoting a rendition of Luke 16:10 in the Bible.

Lucky me, I was invited to attend this delicious event introducing a “heritage tasting” by Brown-Forman, which included Scotch, Irish whiskey, and bourbon. Presented as a tasting flight (this kind of flight refers to three or more tasting samples; no one is airborne), it was paired with the silkiest smoked salmon and brown soda bread (it’s Irish) you could ever hope to allow your palate to indulge in. As a bourbon newcomer, I needed all the handholding I could get, and Reidy and Bleifer did just that.

As we began the tasting, this dynamic duo knew every nuance that creates the unique differences between Scotch, Irish whiskey, and bourbon. After tasting all three, I have to say that I’m still considered a newbie but will be the first in line to attend the next dinner series to learn more. The entire menu made me feel like I had kissed the Blarney stone and gained the gift of tasting eloquence. My taste buds fell into wanderlust.

Bleifer had this to say about the dinner: “Irish cuisine is becoming more relevant with world-

class chefs choosing to set up shop in Ireland. Reidy’s food from Irish Rover for (this) dinner was outstanding.”

Needless to say, I proudly cleaned my plate. And then dessert was delivered.

A tiny parfait-style cup filled with one of my favorites – whipped cream mixed with fruit and topped with meringue cookies – was served as the waistband on my skirt became increasingly tighter. There will definitely be more cardio on the horizon for this gal.

In the meantime, I made my way over to the first-ever Kentucky Social held at Longwood Antique Woods in Lexington, hosted by modern-day cowboy George Gatewood. Known for reclaiming and recycling old wood from salvaged historic barns, warehouses and cabins, Longwood is highly recognized for their craftsmanship.

“We enjoyed having the best of friends and folks (while) surrounded by many local businesses and artists that made our first Kentucky Social a huge success,” Gatewood said. “We appreciate everyone who took the time to come see what fine applications combined with reclaimed wood are possible. Special thanks to my fiancé, Haley Harris, and Longwood Antique Woods employees Cissy Faulkner and Travis Kitchens.”

What a shindig. There was live music by The Wooks Band; Brett Ratliff & Friends Band featuring Nadia on the banjo; and Local Honeys Band, all of whom got your toes tapping and hands clapping. The taco food truck was right next to the Country Boy Brewing Co., since beer and tacos are simply meant to be together. Several vendors were part of the event and included Worn & Co., Scout Antique and Modern, Laura’s Mercantile, David Schuster Art and Kiptoo Taurus’ Art. The social was a blast. I’m looking forward to attending the next one and hope to once again see Gatewood break out his harmonica and tug at everyone’s heartstrings while he plays songs like “My Old Kentucky Home.” VT 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E .

LEADERS OF GLOBAL WHISKEY GROUPS UNITE IN KENTUCKY, CALL ON WORLD LEADERS TO COME TOGETHER AND RESTORE OPEN AND FAIR TRADE OF SPIRITS

BUSINESS

To submit your business brief, email circulation@redpinmedia.com.

Executives with the world’s top whiskey associations recently called upon global leaders to engage in timely dialogue that results in the prompt removal of recent tariffs between long-time friends and allies, particularly those imposed on spirits exports.

At the “W9 – Spirit of Collaboration Summit,” hosted by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, representatives from nine international whiskey and distilled spirits organizations joined together to speak with a united voice.

KDA President Eric Gregory said the group unanimously approved a resolution declaring open and fair trade to be essential for the future of the iconic industry – even though they couldn’t agree on who makes the best whiskey, or whether it’s spelled “whiskey” or “whisky.”

The resolution also welcomes the commitment announced by the U.S. and the EU to de-escalate the current trade dispute and address tariff issues and calls for the removal of tariffs.

“In Kentucky, we like to say that bourbon brings people together,” he said. “It’s actually a lesson that our legendary industry learned long ago – that we can accomplish more by working together than standing apart. The global whiskey industry has been built on centuries of friendship, partnership and kinship.

our suppliers, distributors and customers around the globe.”

Distilled Spirits Council interim president and CEO Clarkson Hine said, “The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. is joining with our counterpart organizations from around the world to send a strong message of support for free and fair trade of distilled spirits.

“We welcome the announcement made by the President and the EU as an important step in the right direction,” Hine said.

“(Now), we call on world leaders to likewise work together, over a glass of whiskey or their favorite non-alcoholic beverage. All nine members of this historic summit stand ready to assist and reach a solution.”

“U.S. whiskey exports are a great American success story, and these trade disputes threaten the global competitiveness of American-made whiskeys that create jobs throughout the entire supply chain, from farmers to distillers to the retail market and consumers.

The gathering marked the first time these nine associations have come together to discuss collaborative solutions to recent trade policy decisions that could have long-term economic impacts on each of the country’s distilled spirits industries and negatively affect consumers worldwide.

“We stand side-by-side with our domestic and international colleagues to urge continued dialogue that restores the tariff-free market access that has benefited producers and consumers for the past two decades.”

Participating trade associations include: • American Craft Spirits Association • Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. • Irish Whiskey & Spirits Associations • Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association • Kentucky Distillers’ Association • Scotch Whisky Association

According to the Distilled Spirits Council, global U.S. spirits exports set a new record in 2017, reaching $1.64 billion. American whiskeys, specifically bourbon, Tennessee whiskey and American rye whiskeys accounted for nearly 70 percent of the total, and thus are the key drivers of this export success.

The summit concluded with a ceremonial planting of a white oak tree on Whiskey Row in front of the Frazier History Museum, home to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® Welcome Center™ opening at the end of August as the official starting point of the KDA’s world-famous KBT tours.

• The Presidents’ Forum

According to U.S. guidelines, bourbon whiskey must be stored in new, charred oak containers, many of which are shipped overseas for use in crafting other whiskies. “Oak is a tie that binds all our whiskies,” Gregory said.

Ulrich Adam, director general of spiritsEUROPE, said, “Spirit drinks are appreciated around the world. Wherever local economies grow and markets open, we see a rising demand for our whiskies, vodkas, Cognacs or gins.

Gregory praised the energy and insight each of the members brought to the two-day gathering and said the group hopes to formalize its partnership and meet annually. “It only makes sense as we share so many common issues, interests and opportunities.

“As true champion of open and fair trade, we very much value any efforts by public authorities to negotiate tariff removal and the elimination of non-tariff barriers. This helps our spirits companies, large and small, to be commercially successful abroad. The benefits are manifold and substantial – and go well beyond our sector, including

“It was an honor to host such a distinguished group of global citizens here in Kentucky,” he said. “To welcome our extended whiskey family to the birthplace of bourbon in order to work together for the greater good of all is an extraordinary privilege. We look forward to the next family reunion.”

STREET, WILLIAM M. William M. Street, 79, passed away July 25, 2018 after a courageous multi-year battle against cancer. Born Sept. 23, 1938 in Louisville to Daniel Street (former president of Brown-Forman) and Frances (Woodruff) Street, Bill Street graduated from Princeton University, earned his MBA from Harvard University and worked at Brown-Forman his entire career, rising from a sales trainee when he joined the company in 1956 to president of the corporation when he retired in 2003. He also served on Brown-Forman’s board of directors for 40 years before retiring from it in 2011.

But this brief summary gives short shrift to the contributions of one of the most outstanding leaders of the country’s beverage alcohol industry and one of Louisville’s most prominent civic leaders.

Bill began his career with Brown-Forman in 1956 as a summer intern and started working on a full-time basis in 1963.

He rose through the ranks of sales and marketing to executive management, becoming a vice president in 1977. In 1986, he 0 8 . 0 2 . 2 0 1 8 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

assumed the post of president of Brown-Forman Beverage Company, responsible for the company’s U.S. beverage business, and was named chief executive officer of the Beverage Company in 1993. He was named CEO of Brown-Forman Beverages Worldwide, responsible for the company’s global beverage business, when that organization was formed in 1994.

Working closely with thenBrown-Forman Corporation Chairman and CEO Owsley Brown II, Bill, Owsley and other executives developed and implemented the company’s globalization strategy in the mid-1990s, affording Brown-Forman the opportunity to build its international business to encompass more than 170 countries around the globe. The success of this strategy has allowed Brown-Forman, one of the largest American-owned companies in the industry, to grow and thrive against much larger global competitors.

Bill served on the boards of Papa John’s International, Inc. and the Filson Historical Society. He was director emeritus of the Metropolitan YMCA of Greater Louisville and Louisville Collegiate School. He was former chairman of Greater Louisville Inc., former chairman of the board of Leadership Louisville, the Governor’s Scholars Program and the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority, a position he held from 2004 to 2008.

Bill was also an excellent mentor, and current Brown-Forman CEO Paul Varga had the good fortune of working closely with Bill and says: “Bill Street will be remembered fondly by us all as an enormously successful Brown-Forman president and board member, a luminary in the global spirits industry and a prominent Louisville civic leader. Most notably, however, he will be remembered as a gracious and good man who enriched the lives of so many people at our company and in

William M. Street.

our community. We will miss him dearly, and our thoughts are very much with his wife Lindy and his family on this sad occasion.”

Perhaps no greater testament to Bill’s character and leadership came from Owsley Brown II, who said when Bill retired from Brown-Forman in 2003: “Bill Street is a paragon of leadership for corporate America. He has conducted himself with the utmost integrity as he constantly strived to meet the needs of Brown-Forman’s constituents – our shareholders, our management team, our partners, the communities where we work and, of course, our employees.

“Bill has never been one to shy away from getting all of us to face the hard truths of business.

By challenging assumptions, asking the tough questions and by his willingness to listen and learn, Bill has helped create an environment where those around him thrived and developed into new leaders.

“Most importantly, for a generation, Bill has been at the heart of forging new corporate strategies and helping the company adapt to the ever-changing landscape by keeping our focus on building our brands and developing our people.

As a result, he has been vitally important in sustaining our company’s growth and independence and setting the stage for our continued prosperity over the next decade.”

Always modest about his contributions, Bill wasn’t much for public recognition of his contributions. However, the Kentucky Distillers’ Association was very pleased when Bill agreed to be honored as an inductee into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in September 2015. He was also named to the Kentuckiana Business Hall of Fame in 2012

by Junior Achievement; was a 2004 recipient of Greater Louisville Inc.’s Gold Cup award for outstanding business and civic leadership and received the Spirit of Louisville award in 2003 from the YMCA of Greater Louisville.

Bill will be greatly missed by all those who knew him, as there is no finer example of a husband, father, grandfather, friend and business and civic leader than William M. Street.

Bill is survived by his wife, Lindy Barber Street; daughter, Woody Gardner; and stepchildren, Liz Quail (Brian), Bob Weldon (Maria), Sallie Talbott, Jennie Talbott (Jim), Kit Walden and Martha Lee Walden. Also surviving are his grandchildren, Ty, Warner, Amelia, Chloe, Sophia, Isabelle, Robert, Maggie, Jackson, Hunter and Tyler.

A celebration service to commemorate Bill’s life will be held at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 4 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 1206 Maple Lane, Anchorage, Kentucky. Visitation will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Aug. 3 in the Dan and Frances Street Learning Commons at Louisville Collegiate School. Please enter at the Ray Avenue entrance, where valet parking will be available.

Bill asks that your support be directed to: Louisville Collegiate School, 2427 Glenmary Ave., Louisville, KY 40204; Filson Club, 1310 S. Third St., Louisville, KY 40208; and Gilda’s Club Louisville, 633 Baxter Ave., Louisville, KY 40204, in lieu of flowers.
