kygallery.com evolved from a bricks-and-mortar art gallery, known as the Kentucky Gallery of Fine Crafts and Art (founded by Katie Baroni), and was located in the ground floor of the old Transylvania Printing Company on Short Street in Downtown Lexington.
This exciting hub of creativity was also home to Actors' Guild of Lexington, three artist studios and a frame shop.
The Gallery exhibited Kentuckians exclusively in a consignment format; a majority of the artists and craftspeople belonged to the Kentucky Guild and/or Kentucky Crafted.
In addition to representing over 100 artists, the Gallery offered six exhibits yearly, including the popular Annual Woodworkers Show. (Past Exhibits)
Sadly, due to the economic climate, the Gallery closed its doors in 2001, when it was announced that Actors' Guild was moving and the building would be sold.
In order to promote the gallery's artists and craftspeople, this web site (kygallery.com) came online in 1998.
We began expanding listings to all Kentucky businesses in 2002 after witnessing the continuing success of our online listings.
In 2008 we obtained kywebdirectory.com and kywebdirectory.mobi and have begun to migrate the site to those urls.
Because we believe in promoting the talents of all Kentuckians, listings are FREE and inclusion is dependent only on a Kentucky location.
We also offer an economical solution to those who desire a presence on the Internet but don't want the high cost or work involved with maintaining their own world wide web site.
Web pages begin at a cost of $24.00 yearly and images remain the property of the respective owner(s).
Feel free to contact us for a consultation to learn what we can do for you!
