We are involved at present with two regional art and craft fairs in Somerset, KY: one at our Center for Rural Development in November and one with the nationally acclaimed Master Musician’s Festival in July. Reaching out to the public, we generally hold individual jury sessions as needed for new members and offer educational workshops on professional art-related subjects.
