The Kentuck Art Center near Tuscaloosa kicked off a capital campaign to renovate its facilities with the receipt of a $50,000 donation from Alabama Power. Mark Crews, Vice President of the utility’s western division, presented the check to the Kentuck board during a member event at Chuck’s Fish in Downtown Tuscaloosa. The campaign seeks to raise over a million dollars to refurbish its five building complex in the town of Northport. Part of the Kentuck complex had to be evacuated when it became infested by bats. The center features art galleries, artist studios, a clay co-op, a gallery shop, and a sculpture courtyard. The group also sponsors the annual Kentuck Festival of the Arts, which attracts over 240 artists annually.
