Exhibition Looks at Grady Clay's Work

A exhibition opens later this month looking at the work of Grady Clay, the Louisville urban affairs journalist who died in March.Clay was considered an authority on urban design—serving as urban affairs editor for The Courier-Journal and editor of Landscape Architecture Magazine. He wrote several books on his topic of expertise and also served on the jury to select a design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The UofL exhibit will center on an article Clay wrote in 1956 on 29 buildings in eight states that were considered in danger. The exhibit will feature sketches, documents, before-and-after photos plus quotes from Clay and other city preservationists.
