MEET ELMER LUCILLE ALLEN

Beloved Community Leader and Accomplished Artist Blesses Mission with Award Money

Elmer Lucille Allen has lived a life hallmarked by accomplishment. Only one of two African-American graduates from Nazareth College (now Spalding University) in 1953, she has worked as a chemist, earned a Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Louisville, beaten breast cancer, and currently serves as the tireless curator of the Expressions Art Gallery at Hotel Louisville. Her eighty plus years have neither diminished her zeal for living nor her compassion for those less fortunate. Recently, she requested that her $1000 Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft Art and Advocacy Award be sent to Wayside Christian Mission’s Expressions Art Gallery. In her words, “I have been blessed in so many ways.” We, too, have been blessed in so many ways by this truly remarkable woman.

"I recently stayed at Hotel Louisville and was very impressed. The first thing I noticed was ample, convenient parking. Then, upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by a friendly, helpful staff. It was refreshing to see such efficient, pleasant workers. My room was very clean and restful. The bed was one of the most comfortable ones that I have ever slept on in a hotel. The food was delicious. As a matter of fact, it was so good that I ate all my meals there during my 5-day stay in Louisville. The prices were very reasonable—a real bargain! I have already recommended Hotel Louisville to several of my friends, and I will definitely stay there again when my travels take me back there. " Lisa B Tulsa OK
