Speaking of downtown openings, Capacity Contemporary Exchange — a new art gallery founded by artist Casey Dressell — is now open at 641 W. Main St. across from 21c Museum Hotel.

The shop offers artisan goods from Ohio Valley makers and beyond + a gallery space that will exhibit the works of multiple artists throughout the year. Currently on display is the mixed-media “Interlaced: A Selection of New Work by Kat Cox,” who serves as an assistant professor of ceramics and fibers at the Hite Institute at UofL.

Ceramics by local artist Jessica Woollard
Canvas hanging planters from Good Company
Handmade earrings by Kentucky Moon Designs

Check out the new space Wed.-Fri., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. + Sat.-Sun., 12-4 p.m.
