Permanent Collection

Brown-Forman Gallery
On display on the 3rd floor.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft’s collection focuses on objects that relate to its history by showcasing regional folk art and craft. The collection celebrates exceptional moments of artistic and design excellence from our region. On display in the Brown Forman Gallery, it offers an in depth opportunity to explore the growing collection of objects from the region in order to share and highlight the rich cultural heritage of Kentucky.

Our permanent collection features work by artists that include: Marvin Finn, Rebecca Seigel, Minnie & Garland Adkins, Sarah Frederick, Rude Osolnik, Alma Lesch and Wayne Ferguson.

The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft provides a platform to explore materials, techniques, and artistic expression.  Our goal is to educate and inspire while promoting a better understanding of art and craft through exhibitions, collaborations, outreach and the permanent collection.  The Museum will continue to forge alliances within Kentucky, regionally, nationally, and internationally in order to participate in a broader conversation about art and its role in society.
