(Frankfort, KY) -- The 2002 juried visual arts exhibition, Kentucky Visions coordinated by the Kentucky Arts Council at the invitation of Governor Paul E. and First Lady Judi Patton, is now in its sixth year and has become a perennial favorite of the Derby festivities in Frankfort. The show featuring the work of 45 Kentucky artists opens on April 25 and will remain on view at the Executive Mansion through May 12. "The artists exhibiting works in Kentucky Visions: 2002 provide us with an opportunity to explore the Commonwealth in a new way and to reflect on those visions that may be different than our own," said First Lady Judi Patton. "The range of themes topics, images and ideas, represented in this exhibit, illustrate the intricate landscape that is Kentucky."
Kentucky Visions: 2002 can be viewed without appointment on May 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon as part of the Governor's Derby Breakfast celebration. The Executive Mansion is also open to the public by appointment, Tuesdays through Thursdays, 9:00 - 11:00 am. To tour the exhibit and/or the mansion, please call (502) 564-3449.
