In partnership with 2nd Story and Project Ricochet's Urban Art Collective, the Lexington Art League is happy to announce that we are hosting two new resident artists through Bridge Work Lexington. Our new resident artists, Claire Thompson and Latonia Dishueme-Bangudi, are kicking off their residency with an exhibition titled "The Agony and the Ecstasy", at 2nd Story, opening on November 15, and will be part of a larger group exhibition in early 2025 with the other Bridge Work artist cohorts from Michigan and Wisconsin.

Bridge Work is a 9-month professional development program developed in 2014 by Jason Yi and Leah Kolb, that provides vital opportunities for emerging artists to implement disciplined work habits, present their work, develop audiences, and establish networks of support and mentorship. We are so happy to be partners in this project!
