As a creative hub now established in the Portland neighborhood, LVA is dedicated to encouraging artists through programming such as Children’s Fine Art Classes, MAP, Artebella, Open Studio Louisville, outreach programs and weekly calls for artists.
LVA is shaping the next generation of creative leaders by providing quality instruction to 1,000+ students annually through Children's Fine Art Classes and outreach programs in schools and community centers. LVA aims to engage, inspire, and improve our region through art.
LVA is committed to fulfilling the objectives outlined in the Imagine Greater Louisville 2020 Cultural Plan.
