Wednesday, I drove to Berea, Kentucky to volunteer at the
Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen's new gallery. According to their website, KGAC was established in 1961, and is "a dynamic
membership organization comprised of the finest artists, craftsmen,
collectors, galleries, interested individuals and businesses in Kentucky
and surrounding states." The Guild works to "preserve and promote the rich heritage and
exciting future of art and craft. The KGAC headquarters is located in
Berea, Kentucky, officially designated as the "Art and Craft Capital" of
Kentucky."
Log cabin outside the tourism center.
Here are a few of the galleries and shops in the Old Town Artisan Village.
This newly renovated building, located at 116 North Broadway Street, is the first permanent home of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen.
Enjoy a bit of a virtual tour of the spacious and beautiful gallery:
As you can see, there is a lot to look at - even more gorgeous, high-quality work than I was able to show here. I'm very proud to be a member of this wonderful group of talented professionals.
