KMAC Artist Spotlight: Fiber Artist Michelle Amos,

Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft's Artist-in-Residence

by Margaret Phillips

 

In a triptych of her most current artwork, 'Ohio River Rising on a Tree Line,' Michelle Amos' Ohio River flows in a silent rush. Each of her sculptural fiber vessels reveals warm-hued river water moving steadily over soil, roots, trunks, branches. From one vessel to the other, it is easy to imagine the left-behind history of the river: the rich dark water lines etched into tree bark, the gradual channels being carved into the submerged limestone. Amos' vessels bring to life the conversation taking place between tree and river, soil and stone. In the grace of movement, each sculpture reveals the beauty in the asymmetry of the other's biology: water and tree, each singly perfect in their interlocked states.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft is a nonprofit organization founded in 1981 to promote and support art and craft excellence in Kentucky. In 2006, KMAC celebrated 25 years of supporting artists and providing educational programs to school children and adults. The Museum is supported in part by the Fund for the Arts and Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet.

Each year, programs benefit over 90,000 children and adults from Louisville and beyond. We have had visitors from every state and six continents.

The Education Center also provides special needs workshops, summer art camps, community center programs, school partnership workshops, Girl Scout workshops, child, teen and adult workshops, and craft artist demonstrations.

The Gallery Shop features the work of approximately 200 artists at any one time, offering work in all media from folk art to furniture. The Gallery Shop offers corporate gift sales and free gift-wrapping, will work with artists and clients on commissions, and will ship to all corners of the globe.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft hosts two major fundraisers a year, the Bourbon Ball in October and the Oaks Brunch on the morning of the eve of the Kentucky Derby. These events benefit  the KMAC educational and exhibition programming.

Come and join us in supporting the great artists of Kentucky and the region!
