The Kentucky Folklife Program is excited to serve as a 2017/2018 regional host partner for Art of the Rural’s Kentucky Rural-Urban Exchange, which will be held in Bowling Green in 2017 and 2018.
Kentucky RUX is a partnership between @artoftherural and @appalshop that brings rural and urban people together in unique community settings over three weekend-long intensives each summer. During these intensives, members work together to find commonalities, deepen, connections to the people and places of the Commonwealth, and collaborate on projects that improve Kentucky communities.
For more information on Art of the Rural and the Kentucky Rural-Urban Exchange, visit Art of the Rural RUX program page.
