Louisville Counts!

About the Book

Louisville Counts! A Children’s Counting & Art Book, is a project that assembled willing Louisville-based artists to create unique, child-friendly pieces of art to accompany 22 pieces of Louisville trivia. Each piece corresponds with a specific number, from 0-21, encouraging the reader to count their way through the book using everything from Muth’s Candies to baseball bats to Olmsted parks and even disco balls!

About the Art

The original artworks went on display in September 2009 at The Green Building Gallery and were sold in a silent auction.

All proceeds from all sales of the book, as well as the gallery’s share of the sales of the corresponding artworks, were donated directly to The Laramie L. Leatherman Art Learning Center (Art Sparks Interactive Gallery), the children’s gallery at The Speed Museum.

“All ages will love exploring the Louisville artists featured in Louisville Counts. The sense of visual playfulness makes it a fun book to share with the whole family.”- Cynthia Moreno, Director of Education at The Speed Art Museum.
