The AIA Central Kentucky Chapter is now taking applications for AIA Associate Grants for the year 2017. The Board will also accept applications the Emerging Professionals Grants. This is a continuation of a successful program that gets Architectural Interns and Emerging Professionals active in the Central Kentucky Chapter. For those not familiar with the program, each year the AIA/CKC pays the membership costs for up to ten people to become Associate AIA members and for two licensed architects who have been licensed under 5 years and have never been an AIA member. Grant recipients are expected to be active in the chapter for the year the chapter pays for their membership, then continue their activity in future years and become the next generation of chapter leaders.

AIA Associate grant recipients are asked to serve on one or more of the following committees: Bourbon Blast, Trade Fair, Programs, IDP, Website, House Tour, Urban Design, and Membership(Social).

Additionally ALL grant recipients will be expected to help on the day of the Trade Fair on February 21, 2016 and the day of the House Tour (if scheduled this year).

Current and prospective AIA Associate members are eligible. Applications should be returned by email to pshields@luckett-farley.com by January 10, 2017. Up to ten AIA Associate Grants and two Emerging Professional Grants will be awarded. Questions may be directed to Portia at (502) 585-4181. The applications will be voted on at the January AIA/CKC board meeting.

Presentation:  The Architects' Legacy

A discussion on Architectural Archiving will accompany the tour of the Filson Historical Society's new building.  The Panel will present the purposes and practicalities of preserving your Architectural records for future historical reference and research.

Building Tour:

Tour of Filson Historical Society, new building and renovations by Ross Primmer, AIA.  This is a follow up from the AIA tour of the building last July when it was still under construction.

Project Description:  

The project is the first expansion for the Filson Historical Society on its current site located within 'Old Louisville', the historic neighborhood first developed during the late 1800's after the Southern Exposition. The project includes multiple components: a new 20,000 s.f. building addition, renovation of the existing Ferguson Mansion and its adjacent carriage house, and a new outdoor quad that is accessible for the entire community. Programmatically, the new building will double the Filson's archival storage capacity and provide a new oration-quality lecture hall, as well as providing flexible-use event spaces that will incorporate changing exhibits.

Free for AIA members, $20 for non-members.
