This oil painting of the horse races at Churchill Downs by Harrietta Harper brings the excitement of the event to you! You can feel the thrill of the crowd and almost smell the horses as they kick up the dirt in the turn. Whether your favorite images of Kentucky culture include horses, bluegrass, old barns, fresh vegetables or grandma’s quilts, the artists of the Paducah Area Painters Alliance present the images they love for your perusal. During the Water of Life Festival, take a few minutes to drop in at the PAPA Gallery at 124 Broadway. You’ll find lots of Kentucky flavored art done by local area artists and even have a chance to see some painters at work!
