Governor Andy Beshear and First Lady Beshear are once again inviting Kentuckians to create artwork and capture photographs celebrating the Commonwealth and submit these pieces for inclusion in Team Kentucky Gallery’s Spring 2025 exhibit. The exhibit is located at the State Capitol in Frankfort.

“In each Team Kentucky Gallery exhibition, we see stunning new perspectives on what brings Kentuckians together: our state’s natural beauty, our shared values, and our resilience,” the governor and first lady said. “We can’t wait to see the next series of artworks and photographs that will make us even more proud to call Kentucky home.”

The selected works are exhibited on a 6-month rotation at the Capitole and on the Team Kentucky Digital Art Gallerywhere artists and photographers can provide additional information. After each rotation, the selected works are returned to the artists.

The deadline to submit artwork and photos for the Spring 2025 exhibition is December 13. Works will be chosen for the gallery by December 18 and selected artists and photographers will be notified shortly thereafter. The current rotation ends on January 6, 2025. The next rotation will begin on January 7 and continue until June 2025.
