Opening Reciption For Two New Exhibits at KMAC

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft is having an opening reception this Friday February 22, 200 from 5:00-7:30PM. The two exhibits are Made to Deceive: The Art of Trompe L'oeil and New Blue: New and Emerging Kentucky Artists.

While Made to Deceive sounds interesting (more information about it after the jump), I'm much more interested in New Blue.

The art world of Kentucky is a dynamic and ever-changing system of mutually dependant participants. Individual artists come and go, as is the wont of those of a creative disposition. But those who chose to make their homes and careers in the Bluegrass state find a welcoming, enthusiastic reception for the fruits of their artistic expression.

With this exhibition, KMAC will launch the first of what will become a Biennial of Kentucky art and craft. While "new" artist often appear in our shows, we plan to use the occasion of the first Kentucky Biennial to feature an invited group of artists who represent the new faces of art and craft in Kentucky. Working with the advice of a select group of advisors from around the commonwealth, we will present artists whose work will represent fresh, creative and bold interpretations of art and craft media.
