Louisville Art Gallery / Junior Art Gallery records

The Louisville (Junior) Art Gallery collection is arranged in six series: 1. General (Administrative) Records, 2. Minutes of the Board, 3. Publications, 4. Exhibits, 5. Scrapbooks, and 6. Photographs. The collection focuses on exhibits for children. Boxes one through six contain working files for nearly every exhibit and show sponsored by the art gallery from 1950 through 1982. (See the folder title list for details.) Series five - scrapbooks, dating from 1950 to 1970, complements the exhibit material by providing review articles from the Louisville Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times. Press coverage also contains interviews with art gallery members and the artists exhibited and photographs.

Series one, two, and three (boxes 9-16) are the administrative records of the organization. Most of the published items advertise exhibits and shows and promote the gallery programs. They date from 1950 to 1988. Also included are copies of a printed history of the art gallery's first five years of incorporation. Box seventeen contains the minutes of the meetings of the art gallery's board of directors (with a card index) for the years 1949 to 1988. The general records also include newsletters, membership lists, articles of incorporation and by-laws, budgets and other financial records, correspondence, some information about exhibits, shows, and classes, annual reports, and some employee information.
