The Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation was founded in 1981 by former Kentucky first lady Phyllis George to build interest in the state’s rich craft heritage.  This interest lead the Foundation to create a rich collection of American Folk Art from around the region.  In 2001, the organization became the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, and in 2016 it was rebranded as the KMAC Museum; it now showcases the work of contemporary artists.
