The Lava House

LAVA-the Louisville Assembly of Vanguard Art A warehouse down a backalley in Germantown (Shelby Pkwy) up against the train tracks. Has been used as an artspace for about half a decade (Summer 2001). They did artshows and music shows of various genres from 2001 to 2004, but were prohibited from further doing so due to noise complaints and fire-code violations.

there was a "new" satellite LAVA house (no Longer LAVA Affiliated)in Louisville's Portland neighborhood at 34th and Northwestern Pkwy. The old studios are still open, occupied in Germantown.
