Some amazing student artwork created for the 2025 Lowell Milken ARTEFFECT Competition will be included in a school-wide exhibit in the Main Lobby of Pleasure Ridge Park High School through September 2025. In addition to the school-wide exhibit, the Southwest branch of the Louisville Free Public Library will also host a special exhibit of the work created during Summer 2025.

The inspiring stories of the Unsung Heroes are at the core of the ARTEFFECT initiative. These stories span the centuries and cut across multiple disciplines, including STEAM, social justice, the environment, wartime history, and education. This diversity is underscored by the varying and challenging circumstances each Unsung Hero confronted–and overcame–through their unique insights and heroic actions. 

ARTEFFECT is a growing initiative focused on fostering art education through multifaceted opportunities for teachers and students, including advocacy, recognition, exhibitions, educational resources, and professional development opportunities. ARTEFFECT aims to encourage all those who believe in the profound impact one individual makes and the power of art to inspire and advance the collective whole.
