The Janice Mason Art Museum is pleased to present an exhibition of works by the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, one of Kentucky’s most prestigious arts organizations. The Guild was founded in 1961 and is based in Berea. Their mission is to preserve and promote the state’s rich arts and crafts heritage.

Media represented in this exhibit range from paintings to sculpture to a variety of fiber arts. Most of these pieces will be for sale. “This is the third exhibit for the Guild at the JMAM,” said event chair Jinna Bower. “We’re unpacking the artwork and realizing once again what a variety of masterful artisans make up this group.”

The exhibit runs March 27 - May 3. The community is invited to the opening reception on March 27 beginning at 6:00 PM. All the artists have been invited to attend.

The Janice Mason Art Museum is open Tuesdays – Saturdays 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Evening hours can be arranged for group tours. Admission is free; donations are greatly appreciated.

The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, supports the Janice Mason Art Museum with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
