From Chad Walker at Warehouse Block:
On Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m., the Warehouse Block Business Association, along with the LFUCG Corridors Commission, will host an unveiling ceremony for an art project known as the “Cubes.” They are three large art pieces, ranging in size from six feet to eight feet in height, complete with LED alternating lighting, which will mark the entry to the Warehouse Block neighborhood along National Avenue.
The ceremony will take place at a new walking path behind Locals’ Craft Food & Drink. The designer of the project, Ryan Hargrove of the UK Department of Landscape Architecture, who also designed the Southland Drive entry sign, will be on hand to explain the concept behind the design. Also in attendance will be several Urban County Council members, members from the Corridors Commission and business owners from the Warehouse Block. Locals’ will host a reception following the unveiling with a complimentary early lunch for all attendees.
The Block Party will begin at noon and end at 10 p.m. Saturday, July 27. National Avenue will be closed at North Ashland Avenue and Walton Avenue. The parking lot at 740 National Avenue will still be functional. Multiple food trucks, businesses and local artists will line the streets for the event. Three bands will be in attendance at the Mirror Twin Stage: Type Blue (rock and roll cover band); Hi 5 (classics); and StarDevils (rock-a-billy.) Music will begin around 4:30 p.m. The event is free and family-friendly.
