2nd Story is a new exhibition space in Lexington, Kentucky that presents curatorial projects and public programs.
Founded on the values of curatorial freedom, artistic experimentation, and open dialogue, we challenge exhibiting artists to take risks in creating new work and encourage the public to embrace all forms of contemporary art practices.
By fostering rigorous acts of making and generative ways of engaging, we hope to stimulate expansive approaches to thinking.

Tomiko Jones: These Grand Places
Tomiko Jones combines photography, written impressions, and collected ephemera to offer a poignant meditation on the politics of public land and its impact on notions of national belonging.
