This weekend the city of Tuscaloosa will be home to the 45th Annual Kentuck Art Festival. Visionaries, artists and inventors will be lining Kentuck Art Center to showcase their talents from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., October 15 and 16. According to the Kentuck website, there will be 270+ folk, visionary and contemporary artists, along with expert craftspeople attending the festival this year.
