Learn to appreciate the impressive art that Lexington has to offer - Excellent tour - insightful and beautiful! We were very impressed with everything we saw - a very full 2 hours! Lexington has quite a bit of local art to share. Wear good shoes as it can double as great art for the mind with a good walk for the body.

good time exploring art in Lexington - A most enjoyable experience. Within an easily walkable area of downtown Lexington, we visited parks, outdoor sculptures, the library, the visitors' center, and several galleries, concluding at Artists' Attic studio space. I particularly liked New Editions gallery and its Rodney Hatfield exhibit. Kate Savage was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide, though her habit of walking half a block ahead of her group was a little trying. My group of friends felt that an hour and a half would have been a preferable duration to two hours. However, we were glad that we had signed up and appreciated our expanded knowledge of the Lexington art scene.
