LAVA-the Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art

“LAVA, the Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art, is an artist collective focused on building a stronger community through networking organizations and creative individuals at the grassroots level to carry out positive social change. LAVA is headquartered at the LAVA House, an urban post-industrial warehouse converted into an artist’s live/work space. The LAVA House is a venue dedicated to supporting underground arts and music, providing an institution to foster and preserve the right of creative expression. LAVA encourages independent thought, and embraces diversity to enrich our community through participation in the arts.”- LAVA Mission
