"The Fund for the Arts has helped fund an expansion of our educational programming by continuing to support our middle school arts learning initiative."

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. In 2001 the Foundation celebrated 20 years of supporting over 400 artists and providing educational programs to over 500,000 school children. The Foundation is supported in part by the Fund for the Arts and Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency of the Education, Arts and Humanities Cabinet.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft hosts 12 exhibitions a year. Each year more than 65,000 attendees visit the Foundation. Over 2,000 students and teachers visit the Foundation on field trips and more than 35,000 students and teachers access the Traveling Craft Suitcase program, which offers hands-on learning using real art objects in the K-12 classroom. The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft's Education Center also provides special needs workshops, summer craft camps, community center programs, school partnership workshops, Saturday morning workshops and craft artist demonstrations.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft Sales Gallery features the work of approximately 400 artists at any one time, offering work in all media from folk art to furniture. The Gallery 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.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft hosts two major fundraisers a year, the Bourbon Ball in October and the Oaks Brunch on the first Friday in May. Benefits support The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft’s educational and exhibition programming.

presents

Launchings

Resolution and Resolve by Alex Schmitz

This energetic group of seven young artists is at a formative point in their careers. Each artist presented is developing an individual voice, and as expected, the work is visceral and intuitive. All of the artists have recently finished their Bachelor of Fine Arts and are either enrolled in graduate school or working in their studios, and outside of the academic environment.

As such, it is a challenging period for these young professionals. The seven artists featured in Launchings are off to a strong career start – each demonstrating the passion and talent required for professional success in the visual arts. Launchings is a small exhibit packed with big ideas, powerful images, and a "sneak peek" into the future of visual arts in Kentuckiana.
