The Horse's Mouth Storytelling Night

Hey, y'all! I host The Horse's Mouth Storytelling Night, which is our long-running monthly storytelling night here in Lexington. Last month, we finally restarted after a long Covid break! Each month features six *true* stories (10-minutes each) told around a single theme. If you're a fan of The Moth, then you have a good idea of what we do. Horse'sMouthis held in the barrel room at West 6th on Sunday, October 23 from 7-8.
 
This month's theme is "Ghost," which (as with all of our themes) can be interpreted as broadly as the storyteller wishes!  
 
We have ONE space available for a storyteller this month, so let me know if you might be interested in telling a true story about ghosts, ghosting, or other ghostly matters. It's a great community of live-story fans! Over the years, we've had several MFA students and faculty tell stories and it's always a hit! 
 
I'm attaching a flyer for our event this month, as well as a link to our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/lexingtonstories 
 
For anyone who might be interested or want more information, our email address is horsesmouthstorytelling@gmail.com

UK Art Museum Panel Discussion

PANEL DISCUSSION: It’s Complicated: Championing “Self-taught” Artists 

Thursday, October 13, 2022 

6:30 – 8 pm 

Recital Hall, Singletary Center for the Arts 

FREE 

This panel is organized in conjunction with our exhibitions featuring Charles Williams, James "Son Ford" Thomas, and David Farris. For the most part, these artists were/are self-taught, with little or no formal training, or they come to artmaking from another discipline. 

 

How are such artists understood, critically assessed, and contextualized in artworld frameworks? How does race, sexual identity, and other factors further complicate these considerations? 

 

Director Stuart Horodner will moderate a discussion with artist and curator Jonathan Berger, artist and poet Frank X Walker, and art historian Miriam Kienle.
