Paducah Art a 'la Cart.

Paducah Art a 'la Cart. Paducah Art a’la Cart is a dream in the making. Art a’la Cart is dedicated to the development and education of an art cultural community here in Paducah.

The desire is to make Paducah, Kentucky, a more vibrant art community by getting artists out in the streets to work in their chosen field of art such as painting, drawing, ceramics, glass, and sculpture, as well as other fine art crafts. By working outdoors in a public area the artists contribute to the economic success of the city as well as educating the public in the process of art making. Dev

eloping an artist set up area at the gazebo in historic downtown at 2nd Street and Broadway and at the Texaco sign area in the Lowertown art district at Madison and 7th streets is the goal of the program. Educating the community in the process of making art and having the opportunity to interact with the local artists at these two sites promotes goodwill between the artists and the public. The sale of artwork generates income for the artists, and brings more people into the area, which helps with the economic growth of the city. The beautifully designed and crafted carts which the artists will be working from will help facilitate the artists in setting up and working in their medium. These carts are sponsored by area businesses and will have a consistent and professional look as well as ease of use. Please take a look around our site and if you are interested in joining us or sponsoring a cart please contact us at [email protected]

A 17th-century barn loom do- nated by the Rose Hill Museum in Lyon County is giving visitors to Paducah an idea of what life was like in an earlier, simpler era.
“I think it’s beautiful because it’s so simple,” said Sally Whittington, director of the Rose Hill Museum.

“No batteries, nothing to plug in. If you needed a new shirt, that was where you started.”
Even the “instruction manual” is relatively simple: a series of hash marks carved into the end of each 4-foot-6 piece of lumber. To assemble the loom, volunteers from Art a la Cart found the ends with the corresponding number
of hash marks and matched them. “There’s no manual from China in six different languages. Just four marks to four marks,” said Jeff Spicer, artist and organizer of Paducah’s Art a la Cart. Spicer said the most time-consuming part of assembling the loom was
