We had not been to Arts Place and had not heard of the Red Barn Radio but I am glad a friend invited us last night. We saw the Red Barn radio show and it was fantastic! The artist was a award-winning Instrumentalist. The shows are on Wednesday nights at 7 pm and just cost $10. My husband and I are are sad that we have not known of this musical venue in our own backyard!Blakeley Burger the featured artist has studied fiddle/violin for 15 years, as well as guitar and mandolin. For the past seven years, she has performed regionally as both a soloist and an ensemble member at a range of venues, including: the Kentucky Center for the Arts, the Frazier History Museum, the Norton Center for the Arts, the Lexington Opera House, the Iroquois Amphitheatre, the Brown Theatre, the Station Inn, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Red Barn radio.Blakeley has been honored by the North American Country Music Association, the Tennessee/Georgia Country and Gospel Music Association, and the Twin Lakes National Fiddle Contest. She can be seen touring with Tin Whiskey Sisters or performing locally with Yapa! and Hollow Bone. Blakeley is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Violin Performance with a minor in Spanish at the University of Louisville. Great show Blakely and friends!

I was recently here for a wedding on a Saturday evening. It was my first time ever stepping foot into this venue/art gallery. I was pleasantly surprised at the way they made use of the space on the main floor. The art along the walls was definitely a nice added touch to the décor for the event. I found the large (gym-like) room to be great for dancing and having a good time well into the night. It seems like this spot is getting used to hosting events here and are likely doing a great job of it each time. I would enjoy coming back for another event soon. The only suggestion I would have is to give some TLC to the bathrooms. As with old buildings, the facilities tend to get a bit out dated and in need of attention. No big deal, but could help make the space feel even more classy and elegant.
