Art By Nature - From Concrete to Creek
Friday, October 16, 2026

2026 Art by Nature: From Concrete to Creek
The 2026 theme: From Concrete to Creek
Where does the water go when it rains? We are exploring the ways stormwater moves through Lexington. This year's theme focuses on stormwater best management practices (BMP). Stormwater BMPs are devices or methods of controlling stormwater in an urban area. They slow the water down, filter pollutants and sink it back into the ground.
Most of our featured locations are past LFUCG stormwater quality incentive grant projects.

Abstract TEXTures 2026
November 11th 2026 - Jan 2nd 2027
The theme, Abstract TEXTures, and how we have chosen to present this work, reminds viewers that we all interact with textiles every day. These “everyday” textiles are taken for granted and have historical context. The goal here is to show that techniques for producing functional textiles can be used and modified to create Art. The artwork chosen for this exhibit has something to offer the viewer, either through the use of literal TEXT or abstractions resembling text.
Atrium Gallery: Rebecca West - Solo Show
Setember 1st - December 10th
Show Title: Eurydice: Decoded
Artist Statement/blurb
Eurydice: Decoded is an alternate reality science fiction project using elements of science fiction to explore ideas surrounding existentialism,
the scale of the universe, and endings.
It takes the form of an immersive multimedia exhibit using the design langauge of science education and museums, presented by the fictional
Horizons Institute.
Visitors are invited to engage with the storyline through printed imagery, infographics, a "visitors guide" booklet,
video experiences, and interactive activities.
Community Gallery
Down Syndrome Association
November 4th- Jan 2nd
Group Show
The Living Arts & Science Center is excited to share new paintings created by artists from the Down Syndrome Association of Central Kentucky (DSACK). Working alongside an art therapist, participants explored how different types of music and sounds can influence our emotions. Through color, movement, and personal expression, each painting reflects how the artists responded to what they heard and felt.
Dreams for Democracy 2026
Community Art Project by Gathering for Democracy
Ripstop nylon and paint pens
This community art project took form in 2026. Over several months, people at many Lexington venues - schools, community centers, clubs, meetings, and other gatherings - were invited to write what they love about our democracy, or what they dream of for our democracy, on streamers of many colors made of ripstop nylon.
The nearly 500 streamers we collected ring with the voices of our city - diverse, vibrant, creative, and full of love for our country. They celebrate our 250 years as a democracy, the freedoms we share, and the way our many voices weave together to make one extraordinary whole.
