Kentucky Folk Art Center

The Kentucky Folk Art Center is a folk art museum administered by Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky, United States.

[1] Its focus is not only to preserve and educate the public on visual Appalachian folk art but also to promote traditional Appalachian traditional music, storytelling, literature, dance, and crafts.

[5] The main floor of the historic building includes the Lovena and William Richardson Gallery, a rotating installation of 115 objects from KFAC's 1400-piece collection of folk art; the museum store, a retail outlet for folk art and educational materials; and the 50-seat Jimmie Ruth Auditorium for group activities.

The second floor houses the Garland and Minnie Adkins Gallery, a showcase for a variety of cultural events; the Edgar Tolson Folk Art Library; a conference room and staff offices; and modern archival and storage space for the permanent collection.

[4] In recent years the center has suffered from large budget cuts from both the State and Morehead University.
