CREATIVE TRAIL
LOWERTOWN ARTS DISTRICT
Take a journey from Downtown into the Lower Town Arts District, just a short walk from the riverfront. Housing the Paducah School of Art & Design campus, the Arts District is where students, working artists, and galleries call home. Artists in residence frequent this area for creative sabbatical, adding to the City’s vibrant creative scene. One of Paducah’s oldest neighborhoods, this area gained national attention with the award-winning Artist Relocation Program that put it the map, resulting in a creative renaissance that transformed the district into a thriving artist community. Here you can find gallery exhibitions and openings, workshops and special events, and the annual Lower Town Arts & Music Festival.
