It's the truth! Current Speed: Kathia St. Hilaire — Invisible Empires is a top pick this fall.

Louisville is where Sam Gilliam developed his skills, and we are now welcoming more artists to follow in his footsteps here in the Ville. We’re excited to announce the launch of the Gilliam Visiting Artist Program at the Speed! Each year, we’ll be bringing two artists to Louisville to collaborate with Kentucky artists and engage with our community. Our inaugural 2025 artists are vanessa german (@vanessalgerman) and Eric N. Mack (@ernatmack), and we can’t wait to see the amazing work that comes from this program! This has been developed in collaboration with the Sam Gilliam Foundation in recognition of the late artist’s commitment to the city of Louisville. ??: (1) vanessa german. Photo: Jordan Whitten.
