SHOP KENTUCK MERCH: On July 22nd, Kentuck's Board of Directors made the unprecedented decision to cancel the in-person 49th Kentuck Festival of the Arts because of the COVID-19 crisis. In lieu of the in-person Festival, Kentuck is hosting a virtual marketplace for our already-juried 2020 festival artists--the Kentuck Festival of the Arts Virtual Marketplace 2020. The Kentuck Festival, ranked by the Alabama Tourism Department as a "Top 10 Event in 2018,” nurtures artistic expression by providing an opportunity for undiscovered and established artists to share and sell their work and to educate the public about the creative efforts of artists, all under tall southern pines. To this end, Kentuck strives to showcase work of exceptional quality and creativity by artists in a variety of areas: contemporary art and sculpture, contemporary craft, traditional/heritage craft, and folk/self-taught artists. We look forward to having our 2020 juried artists join us in this new virtual experience!
