| We all know that Lexington has a vibrant art scene — and we’re not just talking about Woodland Art Fair or the Lexington Art League. One of our all-time favorite galleries? Lexington itself. The Horse Capital of the World is home to a number of meaningful murals and street art pieces. Today, we’re sharing where to find pieces that really paint a picture of our city. Abraham Lincoln, 247 Water St. | By Eduardo Kobra This 60-ft-tall kaleidoscope of color can be found on the back of the Kentucky Theatre, and might just be the world’s largest mural of Abraham Lincoln. Friendship, 161 Bruce St. | By Key Detail Painted in partnership with PRHBTN for its 10th anniversary, this fantasy-filled mural is on the side of Harrison Elementary School and features foxes, fairies, and mushrooms. See the whole piece. Mother of Us All, 161 N. Limestone | By Gaia Organized by PRHBTN and the Faulkner Morgan Archive, this eye-popping purple piece depicts Sweet Evening Breeze, a pioneer of the local drag scene. Till the Cows Come Home, 111 Mechanic St. | By Alexandra Pangburn and Aerosol Kingdom What do you get when two animal artists combine forces? Mural-sized magic. This piece pays homage to Kentucky’s cattle industry, which is often overlooked for bourbon and horses. Want to make a day out of finding all the murals our city has to offer?

| THE WRAP |
|
Today’s issue was written by Molly.
Editor’s pick: I’m so excited about the Distillery District’s newest addition, District 7 Social. I love being able to sip a beverage and participate in a little friendly competition.
Also, many of their menu items are gluten-free thanks to a dedicated gluten-free fryer. If you need me, I’ll be there eating all the potato pancakes.
