Stan Squirewell’s exhibition Threads of Influence is now on view @kmacmuseum . It features a collection of his mixed media works blending photography, painting, and textile alongside a new large sculptural work that furthers the charred and wood carved process that he employs to create his custom-made frames. The title Threads of Influence carries multiple meanings, referring both to the vintage clothes worn by those in the original images and their new threads adorned by Squirewell. The title is also a reference to the other artists that are included in his exhibition who have influenced one another during Squirewell’s growth as an artist, collaborator, and mentor. These artists include: Anthony Olumunmi Akinbola, Patrick Alston, Greg Bennett, Dr. Jabani Bennett, Alteronce Gumby, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, Lance G. Newman, LaNia Roberts, Tariku Shiferaw, Albert Shumake, and Danny Simmons.
Architectural models, dollhouses, and small-scale tableaux are miniature worlds that unlock new physical and psychological insights into how we might navigate, imagine, and fantasize the structures of our built environments. Crafting in Miniature at KMAC features over 40 artists whose small scale works communicate big ideas.
The Humana Building, Michael Graves, 1982 ; Humana founders David Jones and Wendell Cherry with the finalists in the Humana Building design competition, 1982; Humana design finalists: Helmut Jahn, Cesar Pelli, Ulrich Franzen, and Norman Foster.

Featuring 15 Kentucky artists, the 2025 KMAC Triennial, where the rivers run muddy and the mountains are bare, explores artist’s relationship with the natural world and the ways in which we navigate our changing planet amid climate crises and an augmented physical connection to our environment. The exhibition questions how the ever-widening gulf between the real and the virtual can be mediated through artistic practice. Furthermore, the exhibition underscores Kentucky’s striking landscape and identity in the wake of political conflict, resource extraction, and extraordinary weather events.
Artists include Ada Asenjo, Rachael Banks , Karen Boone, Brennen Cabrera, Debra Clem, Lalana Fedorschak, Lacy Hale, Nathaniel(le) Hendrickson, Harlan Hubbard, Shohei Katayama, Gregory King, Aaron Lubrick, Sara Olshansky, Anne Peabody, and Azucena Trejo.
