ANNOUNCEMENT: KCHEA receives LexArts Grant to continue video oral histories as part of its Craft Luminary Project. READ MORE HERE.

Our Kentucky Craft History is documented and preserved through:

PEOPLE 

The individual stories of artists, leaders and significant contributors

PAPER 

The documents, publications, photographs, and written papers that record the details of events, institutions, and craft artists

OBJECTS 

The crafts, tools, and materials that illuminate the traditional and creative processes

WHAT YOU CAN DO...

If you are a craft artist, administrator, or craft enthusiast, KCHEA encourages you to think about ways in which you can identify your own craft history. We hope you will make a plan to document your personal stories and protect the artifacts that are an integral part of conserving the HISTORY of CRAFT and their contribution to KENTUCKY'S HERITAGE.
