Child Care Council of KY

The Child Care Council of Kentucky is proud to host the Second Annual The Art of Healing, a free community event for families with children under 10, in Lexington on September 19, 2026, at Phoenix Park and the Central Library. This year’s event continues our mission of strengthening families through trauma-informed, resilience-building experiences that are accessible to all.

Hosted by the Child Care Council of Kentucky and the Lexington Public Library, the event will feature local artists and community partners demonstrating how visual art, music, movement, storytelling, and mindfulness practices can help children process emotions, strengthen self-regulation, and heal from trauma. Families will engage in interactive art stations, live performances, and hands-on activities designed to continue meaningful conversations and creative practices at home.

We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor, in-kind donor, or activity host. Your support will help us provide a safe, welcoming space where children and caregivers can explore the healing power of art together. Sponsorship not only supports the logistics of a high-quality community event, but also directly contributes to promoting emotional literacy, resilience, and family connection in our region.
