<p style="text-align: center;">As the birthplace of entertainers, musicians, authors and scholars, the Blue Grass region states offer a rich slice of American history. But they are often steeped in superstitious folklore and stereotyped as backward, uncultured and poor.</p>

The mountain people here were self-reliant, making do with materials at hand, building the cabins they lived in and all the furnishings, growing the flax and raising the sheep for the spinning, and weaving of cloth for their clothes<span style="color: var(--color-neutral-600);">, and making all needed household gadgets, farming tools, toys, and bedding from the materials at hand.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The crafts culture remains a direct descendant of the mountain heritage, and today&#8217;s crafts work is essentially, the modern version of the work done a century or two ago. Contemporary craftspeople work for different reasons now than those of their ancestors, but the common thread linking past and present is quality, material, and skill.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">ART:</span></strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>Many young people in the Blue Grass states have entered the world of photography in order to maintain ties with their backgrounds, and fight against stereotypical representations of the region and the very real problems they face. Poverty, poor health, addiction, and unemployment are real issues, but that is not only what they are about. Others embrace terms like <em>redneck</em> and <em>hillbilly</em> and celebrate the lawlessness of an Appalachian past that includes moon-shining and deadly family feuds. They struggle to maintain a connection to home, the mountains, and deep family bonds and traditions, and art provides an outlet.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>In the 1950&#8217;s, many local residents began to benefit from the increased business activity in the mountains. They responded by building modern <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranch-style_house"><strong>Ranch Style</strong></a> homes. The ranch-style house is recognized by its long, close-to-the-ground profile, and wide open layout. The house style fused modernist ideas and styles from the American West. It has wide open spaces to create a very informal and casual living style. Some of them had colonial styled ornamentation. One advantage of these long narrow ranch homes was that they fit sloped properties quite well. This style continues to be one of the most popular nationwide.</p>
