Mary Clore (BFA 2016) and Kevin Warth (BFA 2015) are co-founders of Ruckus Louisville, a critical art review collaborative.

Ruckus is an independent writing and review collaborative founded by Mary Clore, Kevin Warth, and Luke Gnadinger. Ruckus seeks to promote artists, curators, and institutions that are committed to visual excellence by way of critical dialogue in the city and region of Louisville, KY.

Ruckus defines art excellence as possessing: a concern for the socio-historic contexts of work, an engagement with the broader discourse of art nationally and internationally, and a demonstration of thoughtful conceptual content that moves beyond trends, home goods, or hollow localism.

Ruckus is invested in catalyzing a literacy in the discrete fields of art, craft, and design. Ruckus believes that by better identifying where one ends and another begins, a more robust landscape of interdisciplinary art-making can emerge.
