Now in its 30th year, Kentucky Crafted: The Market is a four-day event in early spring that has received numerous awards from American Style Magazine, the Kentucky Tourism Council and the Southeast Tourism Society. With two days dedicated to wholesale buyers, the Market is a rare opportunity for them to place orders directly with producers of Kentucky traditional and contemporary fine art and craft as well as producers of Kentucky-related books, musical recordings, films and specialty food products. Kentucky holds the distinction of being one of the few states in the country to sponsor a wholesale show for its art and craft businesses.

During the two public days, retail shoppers can purchase fine art and craft from the same selection of outstanding Kentucky artists. Children can participate in a number of hands-on craft activities and the whole family can enjoy performances on the Kentucky Stage.
