Children, creativity and imagination filled the main entrance area of the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art on Monday as Kentucky’s second-largest art museum kicked off its “Folk Art Frenzy” free summer art camp.

The weeklong camp — geared toward children between the ages of 6 to 15 and split into two two-hour sessions per day — sees students diving into the diversity of the Appalachian spirit — tying into excerpts from the museum’s current exhibition “Art From The Heart: The Hood Collection,” which includes about 40 works of Appalachian folk art from the late Mary Bryan Hood’s, the museum’s former executive director, private collection.
