It was a privilege to be among sixteen Kentucky artists selected to exhibit and sell their work during the Governor\u2019s Derby Celebration<\/em> yesterday on the lawn of the Old State Capitol in Frankfort. It was my first opportunity<\/a> to participate in something limited to adjudicated members<\/a> of the Kentucky Arts Council\u2019s Kentucky Crafted program<\/a>. The day started with such miserable weather that I wondered if anyone would show up, but I was surprised at how many came and enjoyed themselves at the rain-or-shine event. Kentuckians really do support everything with a connection to the Derby! In the spirit of all things horse<\/a>, I created four collage improvisations with equine scrap. Please let me know what you think!
