A PERMANENT TRIBUTE
by Iris LaRue
One of the original events of Lincoln Days is the annual Art Show. In the beginning, the show was created as a contest for Lincoln related art only with the
best of the juried show being purchased by Lincoln Days. That Purchase Award
has carried through the years. The Collection now has 33 pieces of original artwork on display. Over the years the show has grown to include an Open Division for a variety of mediums and a LaRue County Division open only to
LaRue County residents.
The 33 pieces currently in the collection contain oils, watercolors, pen and ink, collage, wood sculpture and photography. The artists are from Kentucky and surrounding states and include four native LaRue countians. All the works are original pieces. Only one has been made available through prints. “The Lincoln Story” by Maria Simmons of Elizabethtown garnered such admiration that Lincoln Days and Simmons collaborated to have 500 prints done. All are signed and numbered by the artist. These are available for sale at The Lincoln Museum.
The entire collection is on permanent exhibit at The Lincoln Museum in downtown Hodgenville.
