Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear are again inviting Kentuckians to create artworks and capture photographs celebrating the commonwealth and to submit those pieces for inclusion in the spring 2025 exhibition of the Team Kentucky Gallery. The exhibit is located in the State Capitol in Frankfort.
“In each Team Kentucky Gallery exhibition, we see amazing new perspectives on what brings Kentuckians together – the natural beauty of our state, our shared values, and our resilience,” the Governor and First Lady said. “We can’t wait to see the next set of artworks and photographs that will make us even more proud to call Kentucky home.”
Selected works are displayed for a 6-month rotation in the Capitol and on the Team Kentucky Digital Art Gallery, where the artists and photographers can provide additional information. After each rotation, the selected works are returned to the artists.
The deadline to submit artwork and photos for consideration for the spring 2025 exhibition is December 13. Works will be chosen for the gallery by December 18, and selected artists and photographers will be notified shortly thereafter. The current rotation runs through January 6, 2025. The next rotation will begin on January 7 and run through June 2025.
