Service learning students collected and edited over 50 hours of interviews with people like Ed Hamilton (sculptor), Melanie VanHouten (artistic director of the Josephine Sculpture Park), Ed and Sue Stodola (owners of the Zeigler House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright), board members from Green Hill cemetery and the church members from First Baptist Church. Members of the Kentucky Oral History Commission mentored Fine Arts, Communications and Technology majors at Kentucky State University to enhance skills in photography, oral history and web design, KSU technology students have built and will maintain the beautiful and informative website. The students' and children's work will appear on the website, and they were honored at the launch reception on April 23 for their role in sharing the story of public art in the Capital City. Over thirty-nine students along with four faculty and two staff members volunteered over five hundred thirty hours (530) during the spring and summer of 2012 and 2013. Phase II of this project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2014. Phase II involves creating curriculum-based activities for school-age students in grades P-12 as well as senior citizens around the Public Arts tours in Frankfort. KSU's Regional Stewardship office, technology, communication, art students and faculty will be involved in this endeavor.

Development of the Frankfort Public Art Tour was supported in part by a Challenge America Fast Track grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a program designed to engage the public with diverse and excellent art, strengthen communities, and provide for the unified promotion of community arts resources to enhance cultural tourism activities.

Dr. Anne Butler, Director of Regional Stewardship and Civic Engagement assisted with this grant and co-sponsored the public arts project. This service learning project is significant not only for the City of Frankfort but for the entire Commonwealth because it is far more than an itinerary of places to see. It is an in-depth look at our history and heritage.
