Side by Side

Additionally students have the opportunity to create alongside professional artist and see their work exhibited in a gallery setting or perform at a public venue.

The Arts for All Kentucky Side by Side program provides of a series of classes led by approved teaching artist(s) in studio art. Following the final class, students are partnered with a professional artist from their community and together they create a collaborative work of art. The program concludes with a public performance or exhibition with the partnering organizations in each community.
