LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The family-owned business, Preston Arts Center, is now open in a new location with renovations.
It’s a second and third-generation business in Louisville.
Over the weekend, they held the grand-opening expo with artists, demonstrators and manufacturing representatives. In addition, they hosted seminars and gave out free samples and door prizes. Alex Preston, who’s in the family business, says this expansion provides them the ability to offer more art education.
“So now we have more space for kids’ classes. We’re going to have a dedicated kids’ classroom and two classrooms on the first floor for adults. So, education is actually a big part of our mission and getting people who didn’t think they were artists to realize that they are artists and they can make things. That’s the most important part of our business,” Preston said.
The art center business started in 1941. They’re located in the Lyndon neighborhood. Their new address is 8101 Warwick Avenue.
