#OurBerea: Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen
#OurBerea: Meet Jeannette Rowlett and Brittany Lakes of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen. The Guild got its start on two L&N rail cars that would travel throughout the state, showing off beautiful pieces of art and offering demonstrations to communities throughout Kentucky.
A few years after the founding, the Guild became a permanent staple right here in Berea. This lead to the creation of the world famous Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen Fall Fair. This year, the Guild will celebrate the 50th annual Fall Fair, held at Indian Fort Theater, and we couldn't be more excited!
Jeannette and Brittany both enjoy seeing visitors from all over the world coming to visit Berea, and the wide variety of events that Berea has to offer.
Next time you visit the Old Town Artisan Village, be sure to stop in to say hi, see the beautiful pieces of art from all across Kentucky, and learn more about the fascinating history of the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen.
