| Description | The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft is a nonprofit organization founded in 1981 to continue the art and craft heritage of Kentucky through the support and education of craft artists and education of the public. We have been working for over 25 years by supporting over 400 artists and providing educational programs to over 500,000 school children. The Museum is funded in part by the Fund for the Arts and Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency of the Commerce Cabinet.
We host about 12 exhibitions a year. Each year more than 65,000 attendees visit the Foundation. Over 2,000 students and teachers visit the Museum on field trips and more than 35,000 students and teachers access the Traveling Suitcase Program, which offers hands-on learning using real art objects in the K-12 classroom.
The Education Center also provides special needs workshops, summer art camps, community center programs, school partnership workshops, Girl Scout workshops, child, teen and adult workshops, and craft artist demonstrations.
The Gallery Shop features the work of approximately 200 artists at any one time, offering work in all media from folk art to furniture. The Gallery Shop offers corporate gift sales and free gift-wrapping, will work with artists and clients on commissions, and will ship to all corners of the globe.
