Kentuck Art Center

Kentuck Art Center and Festival is a hub for arts and culture with locations in Northport and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. With deep roots in folk and self-taught art, it makes art accessible through free and paid programs such as Art Nights, workshops and Boxes of Joy. Its mission is to perpetuate the arts, engage the community and empower the artist. The organization runs three galleries in Historic Downtown Northport, a gallery at Kentuck at Queen City and a satellite gallery at Hotel Indigo Tuscaloosa, and it holds a permanent collection of American folk art. Its best-known event, the Kentuck Festival of the Arts, started in 1971 and is recognized as one of the best art festivals in the country.
