Artist District - Paducah, Kentucky

Paducah, Kentucky Site Visit

Michelle and Joe Richey and Craig Hullinger visited the Paducah, Kentucky Arts District, and met with planners and administrators of their Artist Relocation Program. The City looked great, and showcased their efforts very well. The program is very successful.

As you can see from the following pictures, Paducah is very different then Peoria. Both are River Cities, but the City, region, and central business district are much smaller than Peoria. The Arts District is primarily single family homes, and is easy walking distance from the downtown.

Streetscape - Paducah, Kentucky

Floodwall Art - Paducah, Kentucky

Flood Wall with Art - Paducah, Illinois

Paducah Trip Cancelled

No one RSVP'd for the Paducah trip, so we will cancel for Wed Oct 15, 2008. We will try again on 17 October. Please RSVP to me if you wish to go that day.

Site Visit - Paducah Kentucky Artist Relocation Program

We will drive to Paducah, Kentucky to take a

first hand look at their Artist Relocation Program.

Meet in the Parking lot of Fire Station 1 at 505 NE Monroe Street at 07:00 am on Wednesday 15, 2008.

We anticipate the drive to Paducah will take about 5 hours. We will spend two hours with the City of Paducah Planning Department, tour their Arts District, share lunch, and then return. We plan to return by about 12 hours later, at 7:00 pm.
