ArtHouse Kentucky

Big news from ArtHouse Kentucky....
We are thrilled to share that, as of October 2024, we have surpassed $200,000 in direct gallery sales!

For a little more than 3 years now, we've worked tremendously hard to represent all types of Kentucky artists & makers and offer them a venue to start and build a business and to display, promote and sell their work while helping to add to the unique charm and lasting historical significance of Lexington's historic East End neighborhood.

What makes this milestone even sweeter is the fact that well more than 70% of that $200,000 has gone back to our Kentucky artists, makers and creatives - empowering them to thrive, grow their businesses and support their families.

A huge thank you to our parent company's - Community Ventures - support team, to our own dedicated gallery staff, to all our funding partners, to this remarkable community that we operate in, most especially to our shoppers and patrons and, of course, to our wonderfully talented Kentucky artists. You are why we do what we do.

We look forward to the journey with all of you for the next $200,000!

If this November weather is getting you down, this mixed media panorama of Myrtle Beach ($800) by Jason Sturgill will supply memories of summer. At 43" x 6.75", this pen and watercolor piece is full of action - click to see some detail shots!

With the coming of Autumn, we are thrilled to introduce our next featured artist - Yolanda Kennison of Yolanda Fine Art!

Yolanda is a central Kentucky artist whose paintings are inspired by nature, music and her imagination.

Her abstract, floral and landscape paintings dare the viewer to think differently for a moment, embrace the imperfect and be surprised for a journey that takes an intimate look at our colorful surroundings.

Soft, faint, gentle colors are often combined with strong, vibrant, bold colors to create a mood, revive a memory, renew our senses, and promote hope, healing and joy.

Stay tuned to learn more about Yolanda and stop by the gallery to see more of her work.
