The University of Kentucky announces the nation’s first Cooperative Extension Service program focusing on the fine arts. By pooling the resources of UK’s College of Agriculture and College of Fine Arts, the university has created an innovative program to strengthen the arts in rural communities.

Kentucky Cooperative Extension agents have been including fine arts in their programming for a long time to celebrate the talents of artists and encourage new artists to emerge. With the addition of the United States’ first Extension agent for fine arts, Pike County is paving the way to a better understanding and appreciation of fine arts in the commonwealth.  Pike County Extension Agent for Fine Arts Stephanie Richards hit the ground running in December 2004 and is committed to fulfilling the dreams planners have about her role.


The following organizations are adding value to Pike County through their involvement in and/or support of the arts:
