Artists Talk with LVA: September 24, 2026

Teri Dryden joins us to talk about her new exhibit at KMAC. Tune in to Artists Talk with LVA each Thursday at 10 am on 97.1 FM or Artxfm.com.

Teri Dryden is a collage artist based in Louisville, KY. After studying performing arts at Towson University, she traveled as a clown with the Ringling Brothers Circus, living on a train and performing in every contiguous U.S. state. This extensive journey, enriched by indelible impressions from the garish to the gorgeous, nurtured her wanderlust and transformed her into a mindful observer whose artistic process reflects the concept that life is in a constant state of impermanence, revealing the profound connections between place and identity. Her work, exploring this unique perspective, is included in both private and public collections and has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally. Teri has been awarded professional development grants from the Great Meadows Foundation for artist residencies in Japan, Italy, and New Orleans. She is represented by Wheelhouse Art in Louisville and Lexington.

waited spaces by Teri Dryden is on exhibit at KMAC through October 25, 2026. There will be a reception with the artist on October 1st, from 5 - 8 pm
