The Common Wealth of Kentucky Project
This 11x11 vibrant, full-color, hardbound collectors edition is a study of the “wealth” of Kentucky and that which connects us—the humans who live here. Through the eyes, images, voices, and personal narratives of 70 people who call Kentucky home, you will learn something new, find something in common, and come to understand the Commonwealth uniquely.
Written and sound-produced by Beth Pride with original artwork by Kentucky impressionist painter Kelly Brewer, the book shares the year-long project of traveling Kentucky painting from life and interviewing people from all regions and backgrounds.
A great conversation-starter, this coffee table book tells the Kentucky story in a powerful multi-sensory way, including QR codes that link to participant voices sharing a bit of their life with the reader.
Book purchases benefit the Jo B. Robertson Charitable Foundation, helping Kentuckians in need.
