Kentuck Arts Center

The Kentuck Festival of the Arts will return to Tuscaloosa in 2025 after a hugely successful first year in the Druid City, organizers announced on Thursday.

The Kentuck Art Center's new facility in Tuscaloosa is ready to host their first indoor event there will honor a legendary local quilter on her 100th birthday.

The Kentuck Art Center is looking to expand into Tuscaloosa and open a cafe, storefront, event venue and more in a multimillion-dollar project to breathe new life into a historic site.

Tuscaloosa will grant the Kentuck Art Center an additional $80,000 this year as the nonprofit prepares to move it's world-famous Festival of the Arts to the Druid City.

The 2024 Kentuck Festival of the Arts will be held in Tuscaloosa, not the event's 50-year home in Northport, leaders officially confirmed Wednesday.

Leadership at the Kentuck Art Center and Festival will soon have a new face - sort of - as longtime executive director Amy Echols takes on a new role there.

Leadership at Kentuck said Wednesday that they are moving to dismiss a lawsuit they filed against a local business last month over the unauthorized use of their name.

Owners of the Kentuck Museum in Northport are suing a newly opened local business over the unauthorized use of their trademarks.

The Kentuck Art Center is one of 262 recipients of the Challenge America $10,000 award provided by the National Endowment for the Arts that will benefit youth in Tuscaloosa County.
