Arts on the Green

The Oldham County Arts Association organizes the festival that was created in 2001 to showcase fine arts and crafts in the county. It drew only about 15 artists that first year, but now, with the help of word-of-mouth and print advertising, dozens of artists have signed on, some from as far away as California. The show is now juried — artists are chosen to participate based on photographs and slides of their work. They will sell items such as paintings, pottery, glasswork, jewelry and furniture.

First weekend in June
