2020 Side by Side Classes, Collaborations & Exhibit
The Kentucky Museum and Arts for All Kentucky came up with a unique plan to finish the 2020 Side by Side classes and collaborations as we follow the current restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus. Most students completed three classes finalizing their pottery and beginning painting self portraits.
We photographed the portraits which the students began. Those paintings were then picked up by local collaborating artists who finished the painting in their studios. Photographs of the original portraits and the collaborations are shown side by side in an ONLINE EXHIBIT.

About the Program:
Students take a series of classes at the museum which are followed by one on one collaborative sessions with area artists. This enables student artists to explore the creative process as a group in small classes, in addition to receiving individual attention from a professional artist mentor. The exhibition include the student's work, the artist's work and their collaborative pieces.
