Bourbon with HeART Exhibit Shows That Artists and Bourbon Get Better With Age “Seasoned Spirits” Showcases 25 Kentucky artists ranging from 50 to 102 years of age DICK ARNSPIGER / PHOTOGRAPHER B ourbon with HeART has announced its fourth art exhibit this year, “Seasoned Spirits,” celebrating the elegance and wisdom of age. The exhibit will showcase 50 bourbon barrel heads, each intricately hand-painted by local Kentuckiana artists aged 50 and above. Starting on September 1, the exhibit will run for six weeks and will be displayed at the CAMBRiA Hotel Downtown Louisville on the historic Whiskey Row. “We are bringing to the table half a century to over a century of talent with each barrel head displayed in this exhibit. The message is loud and clear that both bourbon and artists get better with age,” said Morgan Hancock, executive director and founder of Bourbon with Heart. With an unprecedented 10,000 people reaching the age of 65 daily, seniors are an ever-growing and influential population. A portion of the proceeds from this exhibit will be donated to National Parkinson’s Institute and USA CARES. Hancock, a veteran herself, explained that more than 50 percent of all veterans are over the age of 50. “We are thrilled to not only support the Bourbon with Heart Project but also have our 2023 Parkinson’s Warrior of the Year, Robert Schack contributing his amazing artistic skills. Bourbon with Heart is known as Kentucky’s most creative way to give back, and we are proud to be a partner,” said President and CEO National Parkinson’s Institute Eric Richardson.
