The @StJamesArtShow is just a month out, and 2023 marks 67 years of this historical art event! The arts are great for our economy, for our quality of life, and they’re an important part of the work we’re doing every day to make Louisville a safer, stronger, and healthier city. – at Louisville, KY

The Filson has a long-standing relationship with our artist community! This dates back to sculptor Enid Yandell consulting with our founder, Reuben Durrett, and early Filson collections while preparing studies for her Daniel Boone sculpture located outside Cherokee Park.

#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.

Velma & Frank Brinkley with Charles & Gloria Brinkley. The brothers, portrayed in “A Better Life for Their Children,” are Rosenwald School alums & became educators. It was joy to share the stage with them at #Louisville’s @FilsonHistory discussing the legacy of #RosenwaldSchools
