KFAC Art Competition Reception
Join us for the opening reception of the Kentucky International Youth Art Competition, "Nature & People," at the Folk Art Center on Thursday, November 7th, from 5-7 p.m. This year marks the third year of the Folk Art Center's participation in the exhibition, which showcases exceptional artwork from young artists in China, Italy, and selected Kentucky middle and high school students.
The exhibition will run through January 13th, 2025.
The Kentucky Folk Art Center (KFAC) is one of Kentucky's unique places. The center houses a permanent collection of nearly 1,400 pieces of regional folk art. The works displayed portray the culture and heritage of Appalachia.
Throughout the year, rotating exhibits in the center's first-floor gallery and new exhibits in the second-floor gallery feature folk and fine art, textiles, photography, and historical content. KFAC also has a gift shop offering original folk art, crafts, and more.
KFAC hosts or sponsors cultural events and activities, including the Appalachian Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair, held on the first Saturday in December each year.
