KMAC Contemporary Art Museum
Source

The KMAC Contemporary Art Museum, located in downtown Louisville's West Main District, is easily accessible for tourists. In 2016, it underwent a $3 million renovation. The museum is near other attractions like the Kentucky Science Center, the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, the Frazier History Museum, and the Muhammad Ali Center, earning the area the nickname "Museum Row." KMAC showcases artists who critically engage with diverse materials such as pen and ink, ceramics, woodworking, painting, photography, glassmaking, film, video, and found objects. The exhibitions highlight how these materials influence personal, historical, social, and political themes, pushing beyond conventional practices.
