The Portland neighborhood is set to shine brighter with a new art installation that aims to draw more visitors and attention to the area. The installation, known as “Spark,” is a collaborative project by Louisville Visual Art and Rocker-Built, designed to highlight the community of artists in the neighborhood.The massive installation, which stands over 40 feet tall, will soon be visible to those traveling on I-64. It will be placed outside the Louisville Visual Art building, with parts of the installation extending across the building’s side, creating a visual that is hard to miss.Juliet Taylor, a Louisville artist with Rocker-Built, has been at the forefront of this project for more than a year.”There is a lot of art happening here, and there is a big community of artists, and, yeah, I think it’s a big symbol for that,” Taylor said. She hopes that “Spark” will interest those passing by, prompting them to learn more about it. “I think it’ll be something strange that catches people’s eye, and probably some people will look it up and be like, what is that?” said Taylor. Along with sparking people’s interest, the project aims to add vibrancy to the area.”People are really excited about this project, not only because we’ve engaged local artists and groups, but it’s beautifying this neighborhood. We’ve had a lot of progress just in painting our building in preparation for it as a signal of what’s happening here,” said Angela Hagan, the executive director with Louisville Visual Art.In conjunction with the “Reconnecting Communities” grant, which aims to revitalize the Portland neighborhood, “Spark” is part of a broader initiative to keep the spotlight on Portland. The installation, along with other projects, seeks to bring a sense of community pride and attract more visitors to the area.As “Spark” prepares for its debut on Feb. 13, the community is invited to witness the installation lighting up for the first time. It’s anticipated to become a popular spot for photos and a symbol of the neighborhood’s artistic spirit.
