Governor Matt Bevin has issued an executive order reorganizing the Kentucky Arts Council. Bevin has appointed 11 new members and reduced the size from 16 to 15.
According to a release Friday from the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, the restructuring “reflects the growing importance” of the council’s role in “commerce, tourism and the entertainment industry.”
The areas of education, economic development and workforce development are each represented by at least one member. The council will “promote and achieve greater economy, efficiency and improved administration.”
