Music of the Mountains: Closing Reception

The Kentucky Folk Art Center invites the public to a closing reception for its current exhibition, “Music of the Mountains,” featuring the work of photographer John Flavell, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 2.

The reception offers a final opportunity to experience the exhibit, which captures the spirit and tradition of Appalachian music through striking black-and-white photography. Guests can view Flavell’s work, connect with others in the community and reflect on the cultural legacy highlighted throughout the exhibition.

The Kentucky Folk Art Center, located at 102 West First Street in Morehead, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

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first-floor gallery and new exhibits in the second-floor gallery feature folk and fine art, textiles, photography, and historical content.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.
