The Kentucky Center For The Performing Arts to Host CONTINENT TO COMMONWEALTH Exhibit

The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts has been selected as one of several venues across Kentucky to host the Kentucky Arts Council's traveling exhibit “Continent to Commonwealth: Asian/Asian American Kentucky Art,” presented in partnership with Asia Institute-Crane House and the Kentucky Chinese American Association. The exhibit will run from May 8 to June 2, 2024.

The exhibit features 33 works by 30 Kentuckians who represent the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. The submitted work was adjudicated by a panel of Asian and Asian American cultural specialists for inclusion in the traveling exhibit.

“While we are most often associated with the performing arts, Kentucky Performing Arts and our Kentucky Center venue proudly support many forms of art – including visual art,” said Kim Baker, president and CEO of Kentucky Performing Arts. “It is our hope that guests and patrons have an arts immersive experience when they visit us.”

The Kentucky Center is located at 501 West Main Street and the exhibit is available for public viewing, outside of performances happening in The Kentucky Center building, on the following days and times.  The public viewings are free, no tickets or reservations necessary:
