KY7 Biennial

October 18—December 21, 2008

The KY7 Biennial is the beginning in a series of exhibitions, presented by the Lexington Art League, showcasing new work by living artists in Kentucky and all of its contiguous states including Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, celebrating the richness and variety of the visual arts in our region. All artists who have spent time during the last three years working in any of the above states are invited to submit images of their work, in any medium, along with an exhibition statement and resume for consideration by the selection committee. While all media will be considered, the exhibition will place special emphasis on contemporary art that uses new media or installation work.
