Food for Thought
LUNCH & LEARN + AFTER DARK
The Food for Thought program brings an insider's view to visual art to the community. Local artists are invited to present their inspirations and process, and showcase individual work. This popular program offers two monthly events. LUNCH & LEARN takes place on the second Tuesday of each month in the Charlotte Price Gallery, and includes lunch by Cafe Fraiche. AFTER DARK is a pre-purchase ticketed event scheduled monthly at various locations in the community, and during the evening hours. Thus, each month, you have two opportunities to experience intimate discussions with a local artist and local food/beverage partners.

Joel Pinkerton lives and works out of his studio in Louisville, KY. He is self-taught and considers himself a 21st Century Folk Artist. Born in Bowling Green, KY where as a young child, routinely created new toys from the broken hand me downs he’d gotten from his three older siblings. His first assemblage experiments began in 1992, and in 1999 he began working full time creating unusual, one-of-a-kind sculptures and assemblages.
Joels most recent exhibit at Zephyr Gallery invited the viewer to interact and manipulate sound sculptures created from wooden organ pipes, harmonica reeds and toy organ parts. A member of Zephyr Gallery since 2003, his assemblages draw out unique expressions full of allegory, irony, metaphor, and satire. He has exhibited several unique inter-active installations at Zephyr that have drawn great praise and public appeal. He truly transforms domestic and mundane “found objects” into poetic works of art.
