KENTUCKY FOLK ART CENTER

102 West First Street | 606-783-2204 | website
The Kentucky Folk Art Center at Morehead State University is a must-see.

Located in the historic Union Grocery building, the Center offers much more than a typical museum experience. KFAC houses:

  • A permanent collection of nearly 1,400 pieces of self-taught art.
  • A rotating collection of folk art, fine art, textiles, photography, and historical content.
  • One of the best gift shops in the region, offering original folk art, crafts, jewelry, books, toys, housewares and much more. 

Upon viewing folk art for the first time, many are attracted to its whimsical attributes, and we should take joy in these works as the artists intended. But in many instances, the art that you see on the walls at KFAC was born out of hard times. The works displayed here stand as a document of and testament to the concerns, courage, and convictions of the common man.
