Paul Paletti Gallery

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the Paul Paletti Gallery, Kentucky’s only gallery solely devoted to fine art photography. When it opened inside a law office, the gallery joined a number of art galleries which helped revitalize the neighborhood which is now known as Nulu. The gallery features quarterly shows as well as items  from Paul Paletti’s collection, now over 1600 pieces strong. Over the years the gallery has welcomed artists like
Michael Kenna and Kenro Izu and photojournalists like Steve McCurry, David Alan Harvey and Sam Abell. It is also
the anchor gallery for the Louisville Photo Biennial which has grown from six participants in 2001 to over fifty in Louisville, Southern Indiana, and central Kentucky in 2025.

Our 25th Anniversary show is curated by Paul Paletti and includes some highlights from the history of the gallery. These pieces form vignettes that help tell the story of this Louisville art stalwart. “This exhibit is really a love letter to those incredible people who have shown up repeatedly to help and support the growth of great photography in Louisville and provide an educational resource for photographers, students, and the community. These friends have devoted years, and even decades of service and support, and this journey would not have been possible without them.”

We will be hosting a reception for this anniversary show on Wednesday, July 15th from 5-8pm. Light refreshments
will be provided.
