Outcome: Initial Outcome

A Bullitt County Family & Consumer Science Council member identified a need for further development of the Arts here in the county.  With the Arts Council losing it's home at through the Public Library, the Council member worked with two Extension Agents to provide opportunities for visual arts classes. A total of sixteen classes were held for adults and youth with 47 participants.  The adult classes allowed participants to develop advanced skills of painting with the acrylic medium. Over the course of a year, 6 painting entries were made into the Homemaker Cultural Arts contest; 7 entries into the County Fair and more entries will take place at the County 4H Fair and State Fair.
