Support the Arts
Kentucky Gives Day
Save the date and donate to LexArts on May 12, 2026!
The arts are everywhere in Lexington, and everyone is an artist in their own way. You don’t have to paint a mural or perform onstage to be part of our creative community. When you hum along to your favorite song, cheer at a school play, snap photos downtown, or pause to take in a mural brightening a city wall — you’re already living the arts.
That connection matters. And on May 12, Kentucky Gives Day, you have the chance to make it stronger.
When you give to the Fund for the Arts, you’re not just making a donation, you’re choosing a city where creativity belongs to everyone, not just a lucky few. Your support powers LexArts in delivering critical grants to more than 70 Fayette County artists and arts organizations every single year.
Those grants mean:
- Performances that bring our community together
- Exhibitions that inspire new ideas
- Arts education programs that spark young imaginations
- Festivals, workshops, and public art that make Lexington vibrant
Your support keeps the arts alive for students, families, visitors, and future generations.
Without donors like you, these programs don’t happen. Students lose access. Organizations close. The city grows quieter.
May 12 is one day. Your impact lasts for generations.
This year, we’re celebrating every way people “art” — the everyday moments and the extraordinary ones. We want to hear from you, and we want you to show up for Lexington’s creative community.
Give on May 12 for Kentucky Gives Day. Because the arts don’t just happen — we, as a community, make them happen…together.
