Lou on Lumber: Juried Art Exhibition

Deadline: March 1, 2026

Artist Opportunity Type: Exhibition
Entry Fee: $0
Open to (any restrictions on entries): Artists in the Kentuckiana area
Exhibition/Event Dates: May 20- August 10, 2026.
Event Location (City/Venue): Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, 800 W Main Street
Contact: kc.colorado@sluggermuseum.com
Additional Information: Lou On Lumber is an annual juried exhibit showcased at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory that aims to celebrate Louisville's rich culture through the eyes of local artists. We are looking for five Kentuckiana artists to cover the barrels of five Louisville Slugger bats with imagery that follows the theme of ‘hometown pride.’
Louisville is one of the oldest cities west of the Appalachian Mountains with a rich history to spark inspiration. Not only has the city birthed sports icons like Louisville Slugger bats, Muhammad Ali, and the Derby, but also film and music stars like Jennifer Lawrence and the Grammy Award-winning Louisville Orchestra. The city maintains a distinct indie scene at the heart of Bardstown Road in the Highlands and a strong college sports fanbase for the University of Louisville. Perhaps inspiration lies in the architectural treasures of the city, such as the Old Louisville neighborhood’s Victorian-style homes or the Louisville Water Tower, the oldest water tower in the U.S.
We encourage you to use imagery of all local landmarks, events, and icons that invoke the feeling of ‘hometown pride’ for you in your submission. Don’t feel limited to only using one medium or sticking with a 2D design, we want this submission to reflect your personal style and creative peak! Artists will be selected from the application pool by the museum’s curatorial team and a jury made up of curators and artists from the community (jurors to be announced). The five finalists will then have approximately eight weeks from the date they receive their bats to complete their proposed designs before May 20 - the installation date.
Hillerich & Bradsby Co. - makers of Louisville Slugger - will provide the selected artists with $200, which they will receive along with their bats at the beginning of the work period. Each selected artist will receive two bats, although only one will be for display. Bat handles will be painted black. Bats will be displayed together horizontally.
The five finished bats will be on display at Louisville Slugger Museum through August 10, 2026 – a period in which about 100,000 guests will have a chance to see the artists’ work!

Activist art is about empowering individuals and communities and is generally situated in the public arena with artists working closely with a community to generate the art.
Doomscroll invites artists to make artwork that criticizes, examines, and creates visual symbols that convey messages and inspire action. To shine a light on current events, politics, and/or to advocate for a specific cause. The title references that everyone doom scrolls, first thing in the morning or at night, we look at our phones and read the most current horrific news, we experience collective grief and trauma daily, and often feel helpless to do anything meaningful. Together, let’s do something meaningful. 
For the art show, here are the guidelines:
1. This art show is open to everyone from every background (with exception to rule 8). This is an open call, open submission art show.
2. Artwork must be dropped off at Grady Goods by end of day on the deadline, March 29th from 12-5pm. Dropping off before the final date is highly encouraged. Grady Goods is open Wed-Sat from 12-6 and Sundays 12-5pm. Grady Goods is located at 976 Barret Ave in Louisville, KY. 
3. One piece per artist (we anticipate a lot of submissions)
4. Size limitation of 18x24
5. Any medium is welcome, 2D or 3D, except absolutely NO AI. 
6. If it is 2D it must be ready to hang on a wall. This means on a canvas, a wood board, a frame, saw tooth, wire, some kind of hanging mechanism. If it is 3D it can hang on the wall, or sit on a pedestal/table. 
7. The artwork should reflect current events in the past five or so years. It is not exclusive to things happening locally or in the U.S., we welcome artwork about global issues. 
8. No Nazis, homophobes, transphobes or racists are welcome. 
9. Opening will be Friday April 3rd from 6-10pm at Grady Goods + ArtPunk Gallery and the show will remain up for one month.
