The 6th biennial Open Air Media Festival (OAMF) will take place in Louisville, KY, on Saturday, June 13th at 9:00pm, under the Big Four Bridge in Waterfront Park. Open Air is free and open to the public.
Artists for this program were curated from a national open call. Selected works exhibit a vast spectrum of video art to the public including non-traditional documentary, mixed media and 3D animation, narrative, and non-narrative, expanding public access to contemporary media art. The 2026 artists are: Israel Lucius Barnes, Tiffany Carbonneau, Karl Erickson, Tyson Gentry, Laura Iancu, Sarah Lasley, Dwayne LeBlanc, Lex Leto, Song Lu, Maggie Murphy, Emily Sasmor, clay scofield, Eric Souther, Jenelle Stafford, Courtney Taniguchi, Roy Taylor, Michelle Trujillo, and Masha Vlasova.
OAMF situates contemporary media artworks outside of traditional gallery and cinema contexts and places them directly within freely accessible civic space. OAMF is co-organized by Dana Potter, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the Hite Institute of Art + Design, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY and Zen Cohen, Assistant Professor of Digital Media at Clemson University, Clemson, SC with production assistance from Caleb Payne.
