Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen
Exhibit Returns to Cadiz
Cadiz, KY--Kentucky’s
oldest and most prominent statewide arts and crafts organization, the
Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen (KGAC), is pleased to return to
the Janice Mason Art Museum with a KGAC Members Exhibit. The KGAC exhibit
in 2002 was a particular favorite in the community and everyone is
invited to an opening reception on September 3 from 6:30 – 8:30 PM.
The
KGAC exhibit features the work of over 25 KGAC members from throughout the
commonwealth. These artworks demonstrate how KGAC supports and nurtures
Kentucky’s strong heritage of beauty, creativity, and quality. The
exhibit includes work by nationally respected artists and craftsmen, as
well as artisans ready to be discovered. Mediums represented at the show
may include fiber and weaving, blacksmithing, sculpture, functional and
sculptural ceramics, fused glass, watercolor, photography, wood turning
and more. Most of these artworks will be for sale and available after the
show.
The mission of the KGAC is
to establish arts and crafts as a vital influence by promoting excellence
through education, collaboration, leadership, and service. Best known for
its Berea art fairs every spring and fall, the KGAC also sponsors exhibits
and educational projects for the public and offers artisans opportunities
in marketing, leadership, and community service.
The KGAC exhibit will be
on display through October 17. The Janice Mason Art Museum is located at
71 Main Street in Cadiz. Gallery hours are 10 AM – 4 PM weekdays and
Saturdays and 1PM – 4 PM Sundays. More information can be found at

the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, Berea, Kentucky and sponsored
in part by the Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Commerce
Cabinet with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
