1501 Story Ave. Workshops in lettering, bookmaking, painting techniques. Gallery space with current calligraphy exhibits, yoga classes and house concert style music venue. A place to experience the love of letters and song. Central to Lettersong Gallery, is the notion of combining the visual and the audio sensory experience. My intent is to render calligraphically of sculpturally or both the original lyrics of local musician, and present them in book or under glass form in an exhibit in our gallery. THEN the writers and songsters would perform them at an opening. I want to bring the love of letters and the study of ancient scripts to the public. I want to bring inspired local original music to blend written and sung words and enjoy performance art in our gallery. Instruction in both, music and calligraphy will be available.

Join us every Saturday for free family art activities from 11 to 12:30pm and again from 1 to 2:30pm. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @SpeedArtMuseum and like the J.B. Speed Art Museum Facebook page!

Thomas Edison House is a historic house located in the Butchertown neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. The house is a shotgun duplex built around 1850. Thomas Edison took up residence in the same neighborhood, possibly even at this location, a part of the time he lived in Louisville from 1866 to 1867. The house features a museum that honors Edison and his inventions.Edison's time in LouisvilleIn 1866, at age 19, Thomas Edison, a skilled telegrapher, came to Louisville to work for Western Union, which at that time had an office on the corner of Main and Second Streets. In August 1866, Edison left briefly, intending to take a trip to Brazil but was turned back at New Orleans because the waterway was shut down. So, he returned to work in Louisville and found lodging in a shotgun duplex on East Washington Street in what is now Butchertown.In 1867, while working the night shift, Edison, already the experimenter, was working with a battery when he spilled sulfuric acid onto the floor and his boss' desk on the floor below. The next day, he was fired, and left town for good. Sixteen years later, in 1883, one of Edison's new inventions, the incandescent light bulb, was demonstrated in the largest installation to date in Louisville at the Southern Exposition.
