Join us on October 7th in welcoming Ed Hamilton, renowned sculptor, and Sarah Battle, archive collections consultant of Ed Hamilton Studios & Visitors Center, for a conversation spanning the five decades of his career as an artist.

In 2002, the city of Louisville commissioned sculptor and Louisvillian Ed Hamilton to create a memorial dedicated to York, the enslaved man instrumental to the success of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Using Locust Grove’s maquette of York as well as Mr. Hamilton’s archival collection as points of departure, this program celebrates this public work within the larger conversation of Hamilton’s artistic career.

Doors open at 12:30 PM for drinks and refreshments, and the lecture will begin at 1 PM.
