The 55th Kentuck Festival Of The Arts will take place October 17th and 18th in Snow Hinton Park in Tuscaloosa.

Kentuck has earned a reputation, not only in America, but even around the world as one of the most respected art festivals.

Recently, the festival was awarded the top classic and contemporary craft show in America by Sunshine Artist Magazine.

The festival prides itself on its quality, diversity, and celebration of artistic style, ranging from folk to contemporary arts and traditional crafts.

Many artists who previously exhibited their art at Kentuck early in their careers are now represented in major galleries and museum collections across the country.

If you’re interested in applying, now is the time, as the festival is inviting applications, and if you have any questions about the application process, you can call 205-758-1257.
