ANNOUNCING - "Louisville's Next Top Neighbor " | Center For Neighborhoods is excited to announce our next public art program, "Louisville's Next Top Neighbor "
 Louisville's Next Top Neighbor is an inspiring mural project promoting neighborhood leaders who exemplify the "21st Century Neighbor" from all 26 districts. This is an important opportunity to recognize neighborhood leaders who are asking "What's Next?" and improving the quality of life and the environment within their community. A total of 40 portraits will be completed - 20 in Fall 2011 and 20 in Spring 2012. One neighbor will be selected from all 26 Metro Council districts from nominees submitted by the Metro Councilperson and the remaining 14 nominees will come from the CFN Neighborhood Association Members* (listed at bottom of page). Center For Neighborhoods will begin taking nominations now through September 30th, 2011. *If you are not a neighborhood association member of Center For Neighborhoods, we encourage you to contact your Metro Council representative to discuss your nominee and be included in the process. During the month of November, portraits of Louisville's Next Top Neighbors will be completed at the specific locations. Center For Neighborhoods will notify you of the dates and time at which the artwork will be available for public viewing. 
Louisville's Next Top Neighbor is being funded by a generous gift from Owsley and Christy Brown.
