Otherworldly Journeys-The Fantastical Worlds of Bosch & Bruegel https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/otherworldly-journeys-the-fantastical-worlds-of-bosch-bruegel/ Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/otherworldly-journeys-the-fantastical-worlds-of-bosch-bruegel/ The art of Bosch and Bruegel is full of imagination and fantasy. At a time when other artists adhered to tradition, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel were constantly developing novel subject matter and inventing new imagery. Satire and mockery alternated with extraordinary visions of heaven and hell, whether portraying boisterous peasants or saints being tormented by malevolent beasts.

Bosch was not a graphic artist himself, but his fantastic images of monsters and demons quickly found their way into prints. Fifty years after his death, there was a resurgence of interest in Bosch's work. With most of his paintings in private collections, industrious publishers met the enthusiastic demand for Boschian imagery by commissioning printmakers to design artworks inspired by Bosch, often populated with whole armies of monsters, devils, and strange creatures. Peter Bruegel matched his predecessor's imagination, and early in his career, he imitated Bosch's style and subject matter so well that he became known as the Second Bosch. Bruegel was equally inventive, however, and soon grew beyond mere imitator of Bosch to distinguish himself as a leading artist of landscapes and innovative genre subjects.

Featuring nearly 90 original engravings and etchings, Otherworldly Journeys: The Fantastical Worlds of Bosch and Bruegel celebrates the inspired pictorial world of Bosch and Bruegel in all its facets. The exhibition is organized and generously loaned by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and locally curated by Kim Spence, curator of works on paper.

Lavon Van Williams Jr.-Everything Must Change https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Based in Lexington, Kentucky, LaVon Van Williams Jr. creates dynamic narratives via carved and polychromed figures and panels, along with paintings on canvas. Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

Jagged Little Pill presented by Time Slip Theatre https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ “Jagged Little Pill” is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there's more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.

Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.

Directed by Remy Sisk and Myranda Thomas

Funds raised from the show will help support the revitalization of an Old Louisville church that Time Slip recently moved into. Located at 100 W. Ormsby Ave., the building will be a theatre and community arts hub where Time Slip will produce its mainstage shows and host its after-school children's program.

Otherworldly Journeys-The Fantastical Worlds of Bosch & Bruegel https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/otherworldly-journeys-the-fantastical-worlds-of-bosch-bruegel/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/otherworldly-journeys-the-fantastical-worlds-of-bosch-bruegel/ The art of Bosch and Bruegel is full of imagination and fantasy. At a time when other artists adhered to tradition, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel were constantly developing novel subject matter and inventing new imagery. Satire and mockery alternated with extraordinary visions of heaven and hell, whether portraying boisterous peasants or saints being tormented by malevolent beasts.

Bosch was not a graphic artist himself, but his fantastic images of monsters and demons quickly found their way into prints. Fifty years after his death, there was a resurgence of interest in Bosch's work. With most of his paintings in private collections, industrious publishers met the enthusiastic demand for Boschian imagery by commissioning printmakers to design artworks inspired by Bosch, often populated with whole armies of monsters, devils, and strange creatures. Peter Bruegel matched his predecessor's imagination, and early in his career, he imitated Bosch's style and subject matter so well that he became known as the Second Bosch. Bruegel was equally inventive, however, and soon grew beyond mere imitator of Bosch to distinguish himself as a leading artist of landscapes and innovative genre subjects.

Featuring nearly 90 original engravings and etchings, Otherworldly Journeys: The Fantastical Worlds of Bosch and Bruegel celebrates the inspired pictorial world of Bosch and Bruegel in all its facets. The exhibition is organized and generously loaned by the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and locally curated by Kim Spence, curator of works on paper.

Lavon Van Williams Jr.-Everything Must Change https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Based in Lexington, Kentucky, LaVon Van Williams Jr. creates dynamic narratives via carved and polychromed figures and panels, along with paintings on canvas. Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

Jagged Little Pill presented by Time Slip Theatre https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ Sat, 31 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ “Jagged Little Pill” is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there's more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.

Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.

Directed by Remy Sisk and Myranda Thomas

Funds raised from the show will help support the revitalization of an Old Louisville church that Time Slip recently moved into. Located at 100 W. Ormsby Ave., the building will be a theatre and community arts hub where Time Slip will produce its mainstage shows and host its after-school children's program.

Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

Jagged Little Pill presented by Time Slip Theatre https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ Sun, 01 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ “Jagged Little Pill” is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there's more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.

Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.

Directed by Remy Sisk and Myranda Thomas

Funds raised from the show will help support the revitalization of an Old Louisville church that Time Slip recently moved into. Located at 100 W. Ormsby Ave., the building will be a theatre and community arts hub where Time Slip will produce its mainstage shows and host its after-school children's program. More information is available at timesliptheatre.org.

Venture out with us and explore the hidden stories of Louisville's haunted past. As you eat and drink your way down Whiskey Row, you'll meet the resident ghosts of Louisville's historic downtown, trace the footsteps of bourbon magnates and mobsters, discover hidden speakeasies in the belly of Whiskey Row, and learn the shocking truth about Prohibition.

In the mid-1800s, the stretch of Main Street, now known as Whiskey Row, was filled to the brim with bourbon barrels—which would soon be considered contraband. While this area nearly crumbled to disrepair, today, the historic facades house bourbon distilleries, bars, restaurants, and hotels.

  • Bourbon tasting on the Urban Bourbon Trail
  • Meet the resident ghosts of Whiskey Row
  • Delicious bites and snacks
  • The surprising true story of Louisville's Prohibition past

Lavon Van Williams Jr.-Everything Must Change https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Based in Lexington, Kentucky, LaVon Van Williams Jr. creates dynamic narratives via carved and polychromed figures and panels, along with paintings on canvas. Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

Lavon Van Williams Jr.-Everything Must Change https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Based in Lexington, Kentucky, LaVon Van Williams Jr. creates dynamic narratives via carved and polychromed figures and panels, along with paintings on canvas. Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

Jagged Little Pill presented by Time Slip Theatre https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ “Jagged Little Pill” is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there's more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.

Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.

Directed by Remy Sisk and Myranda Thomas

Funds raised from the show will help support the revitalization of an Old Louisville church that Time Slip recently moved into. Located at 100 W. Ormsby Ave., the building will be a theatre and community arts hub where Time Slip will produce its mainstage shows and host its after-school children's program.

Lavon Van Williams Jr.-Everything Must Change https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/lavon-van-williams-jr-everything-must-change/ Based in Lexington, Kentucky, LaVon Van Williams Jr. creates dynamic narratives via carved and polychromed figures and panels, along with paintings on canvas. Some works speak to his own life, identity, and experiences or to episodes in Black history; others forefront both actual and imagined Black musicians, religious leaders, educators, and others; and some blend the personal and the historical. All emanate from the artist's deep faith (he speaks of his work as part of his path to Heaven) and events in his life—sometimes painful—particularly his overlapping experiences of coming to Lexington and playing basketball for the University of Kentucky from 1976 to 1980.

This exhibition, curated by Scott Erbes, curator of decorative arts and design, will act as both a retrospective and a stage for new work. The former will present the arc of Williams' practice from the late 1980s onward. It will also incorporate the work of Dave Wright, his late brother, who was both a teacher and inspiration for Williams. New work for the exhibition will consist of carved panels focused on themes of education, music and musicians, histories of Black jockeys, and episodes in Black history.

E. B Du Bois and Marcus Garvey join artists, musicians, Joseph's family, and even Twitter chats, in a vision for black consciousness.

This new version premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to play at the Berlin Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. It was also cited by The New York Times as one of the Top 10 Movies of 2025. 2025, U.S., DCP, 113 minutes. Rated R.

Jagged Little Pill presented by Time Slip Theatre https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/jagged-little-pill-presented-by-time-slip-theatre/ “Jagged Little Pill” is an exhilarating and cathartic musical theatre experience set to the music of the iconic 1995 album of the same name. From the outside looking in, Mary Jane Healy lives the perfect life in her peaceful Connecticut suburb. Her husband Steve has a well-paying job in the city; her son Nick just got accepted into Harvard; and her adopted daughter Frankie is operating her own social advocacy student group. But beneath the surface, there's more than meets the eye for the Healy family. Mary Jane is struggling with addiction while doing everything she can to keep her family together in order to maintain the picture-perfect appearance she clings to. But when an incident at a high school party rocks this small community, everyone is forced to look inward, see who they truly are and find the courage to make a change.

Set to the unforgettable music of Alanis Morissette, the show features hits like “All I Really Want,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “You Learn” and more. Against this timeless and incisive rock music backdrop, the show explores the messy and beautiful intersection of love, strength, trauma and identity and proves that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.

Directed by Remy Sisk and Myranda Thomas

Funds raised from the show will help support the revitalization of an Old Louisville church that Time Slip recently moved into. Located at 100 W. Ormsby Ave., the building will be a theatre and community arts hub where Time Slip will produce its mainstage shows and host its after-school children's program. More information is available at timesliptheatre.org.

Phantoms of the Prohibition: Ghosts, Cocktails, Bites Walking Food Tour https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/phantoms-of-the-prohibition-ghosts-cocktails-bites-walking-food-tour/ Fri, 06 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0500 CRM Import https://www.gotolouisville.com/events/phantoms-of-the-prohibition-ghosts-cocktails-bites-walking-food-tour/ Discover Louisville's Prohibition past on a haunted cocktail & food tour down Whiskey Row.

Venture out with us and explore the hidden stories of Louisville's haunted past. As you eat and drink your way down Whiskey Row, you'll meet the resident ghosts of Louisville's historic downtown, trace the footsteps of bourbon magnates and mobsters, discover hidden speakeasies in the belly of Whiskey Row, and learn the shocking truth about Prohibition.

In the mid-1800s, the stretch of Main Street, now known as Whiskey Row, was filled to the brim with bourbon barrels—which would soon be considered contraband. While this area nearly crumbled to disrepair, today, the historic facades house bourbon distilleries, bars, restaurants, and hotels.

Like the combination of rye, corn, wheat, and malted barley, this tour is the perfect blend of cocktails, food, ghosts, and Prohibition history.

  • Bourbon tasting on the Urban Bourbon Trail
  • Meet the resident ghosts of Whiskey Row
  • Delicious bites and snacks
