Note to Editors: The Governor’s Derby Day Celebration involves participants from all over Kentucky. At the end of this press release, please find a list of craft participants, including hometowns. This information is designed to help you localize the event.  For more information please visit The Governor' Derby Day Celebration web site: http://gov.state.ky.us/derby/2003/derby2003.htm.

 

          Twenty-four juried participants of the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program (CMP) will be part of the festivities for the 2003 Governor’s Derby Celebration in historic downtown Frankfort on May 3.  New hours have been set this year, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., in part because of the success experienced last year with the change in venue from the state house to downtown.  CMP craft exhibitors will have their work available under colorful tents, located on St. Clair, Broadway, and the Old State Capitol grounds. As always, the event is free to the public.

 

           Shoppers can expect a wide array of quality "Kentucky Crafted" contemporary and traditional handmade ceramics, baskets, jewelry, clothing, cornshuck dolls, wooden furniture, glass, and metal works, to name a few. (list follows).  

 

          Seven Craft Marketing Program participants also have their work on display in Kentucky Visions 2003, a visual art exhibit that opened at the Governor’s Executive Mansion on April 17.  The exhibit will be open from 8 a.m. until noon on Derby Day with shuttles running on the half hour from downtown to the Executive Mansion.   This is the seventh year for the exhibit which this year has work by 44 Kentuckians and is organized by the Kentucky Arts Council at the invitation of Governor Paul Patton and First Lady Judi Patton.  CMP participants with work on display include the Keiko Akiyama, Louisville; Marianne Brown, Lawrenceburg; Jack Fifield and Linda Fifield, McKee; Susan Goldstein, Lexington; Jana Kappeler, Richmond; and Jennifer McLamb of Lexington.  The show will be open by appointment through May 9; call 502-564-3449 to schedule.
