The preservation of Kentucky stories, places and traditions has shaped its culture today. This exhibit includes over 60 works by 51 Kentucky artists who have recorded and celebrated numerous facets of Kentucky\u2019s rich 225-year history. These works capture the essence of Kentucky \u2014 including its historical places, people, events, state commerce, agriculture and the state\u2019s unique flora and fauna. Accompanied by written stories and histories in each artist\u2019s words, this exhibit entices the viewer visually and verbally.\u201d The show lasts until September 23, 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/archives\/8987\" target=\"_blank\">My next entry<\/a> will look a bit more closely at the work and its creation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017.jpg\" title=\"JAD with \u2018I Must Have Kentucky\u2019 ~ Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea (photo by G Heffner)\" alt=\"John Andrew Dixon with \u2018I Must Have Kentucky\u2019 ~ Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea\" width=\"408\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/JAD_KACB_2017-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dixon_IMHKy.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dixon_IMHKy.jpg\" title=\"I Must Have Kentucky ~ J A Dixon\" alt=\"I Must Have Kentucky ~ John Andrew Dixon ~ collage construction ~ wood, metal, found printed material\" width=\"444\" height=\"261\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dixon_IMHKy.jpg 888w, https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dixon_IMHKy-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Dixon_IMHKy-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 88%; line-height: 133%; margin-top: 531px; margin-bottom: 11px; color: gray; padding-left: 30px;\" align=\"left\"><strong><em>I Must Have Kentucky<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nmixed-media collage construction by J A Dixon<br \/>\n42.75 x 20.5 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 88%; line-height: 133%; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 44px; color: #CC3333; padding-left: 30px;\" align=\"left\">\u2022&nbsp; S O L D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a new exhibition by the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea \u2014 225: Artists Celebrate Kentucky\u2019s History \u2014 and I am proud to have my work as part of the display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,30,1,8,240,18,4,111],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8819"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9253,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8819\/revisions\/9253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xorph.com\/jadixon\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
