After Hours at the Speed

Join us for an evening of art, music and literary brilliance inspired by Brilliant Exiles and the glamour of The Great Gatsby. Create your own work of art, capture the moment with a vintage-style River City Tintype portrait, and explore the world of American women artists in Paris on a curator-led tour. Enjoy a special reading and book signing by Kentucky Poet Laureate Crystal Wilkinson, embrace Parisian culture with the Alliance Française de Louisville and soak in some jazz-infused energy with a live performance by Jane’s Jazz Addiction.
