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.
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.
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.
