The Kentucky Veteran Project exhibit features 44 pieces of art by military veterans and family members of veterans from 23 Kentucky counties. This exhibit was intentionally curated without a theme, allowing artists the creative freedom to display work that is reflective of their own experiences, personal inspirations and interests.

Forty-one artists, as well as several members of an American Legion Post in Cadiz, are represented among the artwork in The Kentucky Veteran Project. The exhibit will travel to venues around Kentucky from November 2018 to December 2019.
