The exhibit opened at Frazier Kentucky History Museum starting in February 2023. It features twenty custom-painted bourbon barrels decorated by local artists & sponsored by your favorite bourbon brands and local companies.  Bourbon with Heart's (501c3)  mission is to leverage the influence and popularity of Bourbon to raise funds for local charities while also providing a first-class arts experience for Kentuckians regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability.  Whether it's dance, design, music, photography, theatre, or crafting a delicious bourbon blend, Bourbon with Heart deeply appreciates art in all its various forms. We believe art, like a good glass of bourbon, brings people together and encourages self-expression. With a strong desire to see the arts culture in Kentucky continue to thrive (and grow), Bourbon with Heart is distilling ART right into the heART of its mission.
