Art.
“It’s Not Easy Being Green” exhibition by Midwest Sculptors and Artists.
Leticia Bajuyo is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana. Her sculptures involve the inventive reuse of discarded materials such as CDs and empty bottles. For Forecastle, she is amassing plastic bottles from local corporations to create a large-scale sculpture that will surround and arch over viewers as they walk along one of the main sidewalks on the Great Lawn. Her piece entitled “potentially kinetic-kinetically potential” will engage festival goers in a conversation about recycling.
Joyce Ogden is a sculptor and Professor of Art at Spalding University in Louisville. Her contribution, “53.93,” will be a series of twelve sculptural towers focusing attention on rainfall levels in Kentucky for each month of 2009. Water and water-management issues have been the subject of her sculptures and installation work for the last 15 years.
Todd C. Smith is an artist with an unusual form of expression: tree climbing. His series of sculptural vignettes, “Stock,“ will be built around different trees on the festival site. Each vignette will have an accompanying recording of a childhood tree-climbing story shared with Smith by people from around the United States.
Activism.
The Sustainable Living Roadshow is a caravan of educators, entertainers and activists coordinating cross country tours that empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable strategies for a healthier planet. Based in California, the roadshow visits university campuses and community events across the United States, encompassing a fleet of non-petroleum based renewable fuel vehicles. At each stop, the caravan sets up experiential-learning village’s, featuring workshops, speakers, and entertainment.

**************************************
THE FORECASTLE FESTIVAL is where the Midwest connects®. Founded in Louisville, KY, the annual gathering is equal parts Music, Art, and Activism. A symposium for musicians, artists, and environmentalists, Forecastle connects the progressive Midwest. The 2010 fest is expected to draw over 25,000 patrons to the Louisville Waterfront ~ part of a scenic, $60 million dollar riverfront investment which attracts 1.5 million visitors a year. With national headliners and expanded line-ups, the festival will provide an unforgettable experience for all Forecastle travelers, converging in Louisville from the Midwest and beyond.
Spring Tour
This Spring, look for Forecastle in a city near you. That’s right ~ it’s our annual Spring Tour, where we will be traveling the region to promote the 2010 event in a city, town, or college campus near you. Stay tuned for details!
