For the first time ever, members of ArtWorks will be able to participate with the WGST at a very special location - The Kentucky Museum.
To participate in the second floor gallery, artists must be a member of ArtWorks & WGST. If you're already an ArtWorks' member, scroll down and fill out the WGST form and pay your $15 WGST membership dues. If you're already a WGST member, and want to join ArtWorks, click on the white button that says JOIN ARTWORKS. The FIRST 25 ArtWorks/WGST members are guaranteed a space and table.
This is an excellent opportunity, if you don't have a home studio, live too far out, or would just like to join in with other ArtWorks/WGST members and sell your work at a great indoor space.
