See the exhibition on display December 4th – January 2nd Monday – Friday 8AM – 5PM

The Kentucky Arts Council, the Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission, and the Kentucky Heritage Council worked together to invite artists who identify as Native American to share their visual art, resulting in a unique collection. Artists include both those enrolled in recognized tribes and Native-inspired artists living all over Kentucky. The exhibit is inclusive of Kentucky artists who are enrolled and not enrolled but who identify as Native American or American Indian through their family heritage and culture.
The exhibit features 21 works by 11 Kentuckians who identify as American Indians of either enrolled tribal membership or unenrolled, but native-inspired individuals. The submitted work was adjudicated by a panel of American Indian artists and members of the Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission for inclusion in the traveling exhibit.

In this sparkling sequel to Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley (produced at Flashback in 2018), Gunderson and Melcon explore the grounds of Jane Austen’s Pemberley Estate (of Pride and Prejudice fame) from a new level: the downstairs servants quarters. To prepare for another busy holiday season, longtime housekeeper Mrs.Reynolds hires a new charge, a witty young maid named Cassie. Working together on holiday preparations, sparks begin to fly between Cassie and the estate’s inventive young footman Brian, but all comes to a screeching halt when a midnight arrival from a forbidden guest threatens to tear the family apart. This charming holiday tale captures the heart of Austen’s beloved heroines with a delightfully fresh perspective that all audiences can enjoy.
