Step into a world of creativity and craftsmanship at the Sheltowee Artisans Guild Exhibition, on display now at the Center for Rural Development.

"We’re a spirited group of artisans who love what we do—celebrating the heart and soul of Kentucky's landscapes through our work, from traditional to contemporary!"

Since 1994, Sheltowee Artisans has been building a community where creativity thrives and quality shines. This exhibition is more than art—it’s a journey through the heritage and beauty of Southern and Eastern Kentucky. Each piece tells a story, woven with passion, skill, and pride in our roots.

“Poplar Platter” David Spillman
“Blue Ice” Marty Betts
“Yellow Pumpkin in the Fall” Sue Burkett
