FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Kentucky Arts Council presents “Kentucky Visions at the Capitol,” an exhibit that showcases the artwork of 32 artists in the halls, reception areas and conference rooms of Senate and House offices in the Capitol Annex in Frankfort. Artists invited to participate have previously been accepted into the Kentucky Arts Council's Kentucky Crafted program or have been the recipients of an Al Smith Individual Artist Fellowship Award.

The 74 pieces of artwork on display during this legislative session include paintings, drawings, photographs, fiber art and mixed-media work. “Kentucky Visions at the Capitol” is one of many promotional opportunities available to Kentucky artists through the Kentucky Arts Council’s programs. Most works are for sale, with 100% of the price going directly to artists.
