Our host Interim LUL President & CEO, Lyndon Pryor, is joined by Lance Newman II aka Mr SpreadLove. Newman is a poet, visual artist, actor, educator, and playwright. He experienced bullying in his pre-teen years but used his words through poetry to fight back. The duo discuss how the arts are needed to help Louisville push forward to attract new residents and to keep natives. And how the lack of artistic outlets has played a role in the city's stifled growth. Check out Newman's solo art exhibition at the Louisville Visual Art Gallery December 1, 2023 through February 3, 2024. Attend the KMAC Poetry Slam last Saturday of every month.
