The Staying Power of People and Place: Visual Stories of Our Neighborhood
As the United States celebrates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, the commonwealth is exploring the people, places, and events that created our shared history over the past 250 years. As a legacy of this semiquincentennial, artists, organizations, and communities are invited to commemorate this anniversary and interpret its themes through the arts. The Murray Art Guild was awarded funding in the amount of $10,000 for a Kentucky Arts Council “America250KY: Exploring 250 years through the Arts” grant, made possible through state funding from Kentucky General Assembly through the Kentucky Historical Society and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
