Students at the University of Kentucky College of Design recently unveiled plans for the ''Northern Kentucky Historic Art Spaces Trail.''
The semester's project is over and now the work will be coupled with the efforts of the Gaines Center for Humanities' Museums Without Walls project, but the exact nature of the work is yet to be determined, said Professor Douglas Appler, the Helen Edwards Abell Chair in Historic Preservation and the leader of the Historic Art Spaces Trail project.
The Museum Without Walls project aims to give Kentuckians exposure to art in public places. Through creating public openness to historic art, Museum Without Walls will build on the efforts of the College of Design from last semester, and make Kentucky art more open to the public.
The trail will connect historical art spaces along Kentucky Route 8, a highway that stretches over 100 miles along the Northern Kentucky region. Forty-seven art spaces were selected, comprised of historical buildings (those more than 50 years old) being used as art galleries, art instructional spaces and performance art, Appler said.
