Visual Arts at the Market introduces two-dimensional visual artists to Kentucky Crafted: The Market, the annual wholesale/retail event coordinated by the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program. Visual Arts at the Market is comprised of artists who applied and were selected by a panel of artists and wholesale buyers. Artists were selected based upon the artistic excellence of the work and the suitability of the work for the wholesale and retail markets. Artists may find out more about applying to the Visual Arts at the Market program on the Kentucky Arts Council Web site (artscouncil.ky.gov), or may contact Amber Luallen, Individual Artist Program Director, 888-833-2787, or email her at [email protected].
