Hello,

The arts are one of the purest expressions of the human condition. It is through the arts and the work of artists that we can make sense of the world that we inhabit. When we ignore the influence of the arts in our own lives, engagement in the arts across our community suffers.

Often, usually as children, we are taught to abandon or hide the artist that lives within us in pursuit of a “real” career, so our art becomes a hidden hobby or forgotten talent. In my time at the Fund for the Arts, I have met with many individuals who say things like, “I used to play an instrument” or “I used to dance” or “I used to be an artist.”


At the Fund, we believe that everyone, including you, is an artist – regardless of your training or skill level. When we embrace and accept our inner artist, engaging and participating with arts and culture activities in our communities, we build a more vibrant, inspired, and connected city.

Annually, the Fund supports individual artists, local arts and culture organizations, schools, and community centers as we work together to increase engagement in the arts and make them more accessible to every person in Greater Louisville. Donors like you make this work possible.

I am an artist. My art is storytelling and writing, but it took me years to say that out loud to myself and others. I bet you are an artist, too. I hope you will join us in celebrating the artist inside every one of us by making a gift in support of the Fund, in support of artists, today. Use the "Donate Today" button below to make a secure gift online at FundForTheArts.Org/Give today.

With Thanks,
