Explore: Louisville’s Gallopalooza
Like a lot of cities, Louisville has their own animal themed art. It is, of course, the horse, and the entire program is called Gallopalooza. (I have to admit, I love saying that out loud. Go ahead, try it.) Area businesses sponsor artists to embellish horse statues, which are then displayed around the city. Then, after a few months, the horses are auctioned off and the proceeds from the fundraiser are used to help beautify Louisville.
Prior to this year’s auction, the horses were displayed in front of the Louisville Metro Center. (This is the same Metro Center where there was a fire drill right when Mr. M and I got our marriage license.) Shutterboo and I took a walk over on Friday to check them out. I’d seen many of them around the city, but to see them all in one place was spectacular. Such variety! Such artistry! The best part – no horse poop.
Here are some favorite photos I took. Enjoy!

I love when cities do this stuff. The gumball machine one is spectacular!
