Paint Like Gant Paint Party

The Museums of Historic Hopkinsville-Christian County invites you to Paint Like Gant during the Christian County Art Loop on Saturday, August 23, 2025 from 10am until 4pm. This paint party will feature designs inspired by Hopkinsville native and artist Gant Gaither.

Born in Hopkinsville in 1917, Gant Gaither was an accomplished theater and movie producer, published author, and gifted artist. After serving in WWII, he studied architecture at Yale Architecture School. He then worked as a producer on Broadway and in Hollywood for Paramount Pictures Corporation. A close friend to many of America’s top stars, he wrote a biography about Grace Kelly. In his later years, he focused on painting and sculpture. His most celebrated artwork is from his Zoophisticates collection that features whimsical and vibrant animals.

Canvases will be sketched and ready for your creative expression. All supplies will be provided and included with your museum admission fee.

The Christian County Art Loop is hosted by the Hopkinsville Art Guild. Artists will be set up in locations downtown and across the community. Three artists – Henrietta Kemp, Ruth Ann Rettie, and Jeannie White – will be set up at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.
