The guided tours (5pm & 7pm, $5, kids free) will last about 1 hour and allow everyone time to enjoy many of the other great exhibits ready to satisfy the hunger of your eyes for visually delicious and spicy art. Our HOBY Hop Down 3rd Street Tours will begin at no betta place than the bodacious Pat Gerhard-owned and painted Third Street Stuff (257 N. Lime) and will end at the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden( 3rd & Midland). This HOBY Down 3rd St. Tour will be guided by eco-activist, jim embry, and will feature the 2009 HOBY murals. 1st Tour begins at 5pm sharp,and 2nd Tour begins at 7pm in front of 3rd St Stuff Coffee Shop. More than 180 youth came to Lexington June 6 for the second rendition of "Artists & Youth Create Community Together”, the community service project conspired by Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership(HOBY), The Knight Foundation and Sustainable Communities Network. These young folks who came from all around Kentucky to Lexington as part of HOBY teamed with local artists for this outstanding community art service project. This year’s theme was Eastend neighborhood history, sustainability and sacred Earth connections. Eleven(11) of these 18 beautiful and inspiring murals are now located along 3rd St and have created lots of conversation and questions. What is the meaning of 54....what is the Trail of Tears...when will Eastend be emancipated?...are a few of the David Chappelle-type questions that will be answered Friday night. We will visit all 11 murals and other stops along the Tour will include the London Ferrel Community Garden, the funkadelic Artsy Bus Stop with G. Bibbs metal sculpture, the Lyric Theatre growing from ashes and the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden now adorned with a holy-day tree. If you hop down to Al’s Bar Friday or any night check out the other 14 murals from 2008 HOBY that hang on the exterior wall at 758 N Limestone owned by community leader, Marty Clifford. Photos of the murals along with a listing of all HOBY youth ambassadors, local artists and mural concept description are available on line at: http://kyhoby.googlepages.com/ Sponsored by the Knight Foundation and the Hugh O’Brian Kentucky Youth Leadership Seminar. jim embry 859-312-7024 Sustainable Communities Network Sustainlex.org -- Randolph Hollingsworth, Ph.D. University of Kentucky H-Kentucky List Editor hollings@mail.h-net.msu.edu http://www.h-net.org/~kentucky/
