Whitley County is home to an array of talented visual artists. They include, but are not limited to, photographers, painters, potters, woodworkers, and sculptors. With the abundance of visual art being created in Whitley County there has been, in the past, an issue of a lack of venues for artists to display their work for others to see and enjoy.
