Ed Hamilton Studios & Visitors Center

is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to preserving the legacy of renowned Louisville, Kentucky sculptor Ed Hamilton.

 

Our primary purpose is to use Ed’s life and work to inspire the community and celebrate cultural heritage and historical legacies.

 

The center also aims to promote the transformative power of arts and culture through community building by showcasing diverse and emerging artists not only through exhibits, but with hands-on tutelage through our Artist-in-Residence program and community based educational programming to positively enrich the lives of Louisville residents and all visitors. 

Our Mission

The Ed Hamilton Studio and Visitor Center is a space and place where a multi-generational collective of individuals, artists, students, and educators come together to create a shared experience that encourages exploration, discover, and delight, and positively impacts and shapes our community.

Speaking

Our Vision

We envision a community where the resources are available and accessible for everyone to be fully supported, cultivated, and mentored in the pursuit of the realization of their full selves and that they understand they are part of a continuum as a bridge that translates and connects between generations.

Step inside with us as we reimagine a building that has thrived as a place of creation since the late 1800s, and will continue to foster the creativity of Hamilton and aspiring artists for generations to come. 

 

We are currently raising funds to make this project a reality. Funds will be used for the rehabilitation and addition to the existing building, archiving/cataloguing of the studio items, and museum planning for the future space.
