The LAVA House (LAVA - Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art) was co-founded in 2001 by Aron Conaway and Bart Herre. Glenn and Connie Herre (Bart's parents) owned the warehouse and rented space to Aron and Bart. The two co-founders proceeded to recruit artists. The LAVA House became a collective space and community for many artists, musicians, and warehouse dwellers.
Bill Christie was the first person to live at the LAVA House. He served as the night watchman.
The LAVA House was located at 927 Shelby Parkway, Louisville KY, 40204.
The LAVA House was located in Germantown (before it got all expensive and fancy), up against the train tracks. Unfortunately, the LAVA House burned down January 26th, 2008. The residents and artists were unable to save much, and Mr. Bill passed away the next day due to injuries from the fire.
