We are a spirited group of artisans who love what we do!
From traditional to contemporary, our works echo the diversity of our Kentucky landscape.
As artisans, we found that we are stronger together than we are apart!
We invite you to find out who we are, who our members are, what is going on with us, and ask why we have a turtle on this page!
Please consider joining our supportive group by going to our Membership Page. The 2009 Sheltowee Artisans Jury is now over.

THE SHELTOWEE ART SHOP:
The Sheltowee Artisan Gift Shop and Gallery is open to the public at the new Carnegie Community Arts Center in downtown Somerset, Kentucky. Being a true Co-operative gallery, artist members of the co-op manage and operate the shop. The Sheltowee Art Shop’s hours are 11-5 Tuesday through Friday, 11-4 on Saturdays, and by appointment @606-677-0333.
Current Sheltowee Guild members of the co-operative are: Bill and Jamison Brumm (stained glass and jewelry/watercolors), Sue Burkett (acrylic and mixed media), Dale Crockett (folk art and glass work), Becky DeBord (precious metal jewelry), Sandy Ellis (yarns and felted gifts), Janie Hail (watercolors), Theresa Kibby (jewelry), Toni Menk (glass beads and utensils), Nancy Phelps (photography and candles), Karen Riggins (wearable art and quilts), Joe and Mary Scott (wooden toys and puzzles), Mick Shambro (wood art and ornaments), Debbe Tobbe (glass ware and jewelry), and Yarnwear (hand knit gifts and accessories).
Sheltowee Artisans formed a guild in 1994 to build a friendly arts community and to encourage superior craftsmanship, consistent quality, and professional presentation of work. Based in the Carnegie Community Center in Somerset, it is making a difference in the arts of southern and eastern Kentucky. The Carnegie Center supports multiple arts groups and individual artists. It occupies the former Pulaski County Library that was housed in the old Post Office building at 107 North Main Street, Somerset, KY. For a map of this location, click here.
