Through funds raised during the annual Campaign for the Arts, LexArts offers competitive project and programming-based grants to eligible groups. Through its Community Arts Program, LexArts prioritizes funding to projects and programs for innovative endeavors that reach under served audiences and maintain a high level of artistic quality. The generosity of Lexington's corporations, businesses, foundations, and individuals to the Campaign for the Arts is the key to Lexarts' ability to sustain and increase its giving to arts organizations and individual artists.
