). The Lunch and Learn programs are sponsored by the Carnegie Center, Inc.
Warren and Julie Payne will discuss the use of genealogical research and tools such as ancestry.com in researching works of art, and in particular those included in The Artists of the Wonderland Way. This virtual tour will include images of headstones of a number of Wonderland Way artists buried at Fairview Cemetery, and photos of many of the Wonderland Way artists’ homes today. Genealogical research also played an important role in the discovery of where these artists lived, and their former residences can be found in the Midtown neighborhood on Cedar Bough Place, Oak Street, Culbertson Avenue and Shelby Place, and on DePauw and Florence Avenues, as well as near Silver Creek on Beharrell Avenue.
Warren and Julie Payne, of Payne Fine Arts, are art collectors who have curated exhibitions in Southern Indiana and Louisville for many years. The Paynes curated a similar, though smaller scale, exhibit of the Wonderland Way artists in 2000, titled The Collectors’ Showcase: Artists of the Ohio Valley School and the Wonderland Way, 1883-1940.
