Our fall 2020 exhibit features artwork by the Plein Air Artists of Central Kentucky. The work in this show was created during a series of “paint outs” organized over the spring and summer. Participating artists visited locations throughout the region and created their own artistic impressions of the sites. Creating artwork ‘en plein air’ (i.e. outdoors!) is the perfect social distancing activity.
You can visit the exhibit in person through October 30. The Art Center is open Tuesday through Friday, 11am to 7pm and Saturdays 10am to 5pm. Please read our updated COVID-19 policies before visiting.
If you aren’t able to see the exhibit in person, please enjoy the virtual exhibit, below! The artwork in this show is for sale. Size and price details are included in the captions of the image thumbnails below. Click on an image to see a larger version, along with details. To purchase a piece, please visit our online store or call 859.236.4054.
