ART SPARKS connection

Astute leaders looking to enhance the vibrancy and desirability of cities understand the vital role the arts play in this effort. For the past 50 years, LexArts has actively connected the community with the arts, in all manner of meaningful ways, formal and informal, large scale and small.

2022 saw the second encore of our celebrated public art project, Horse Mania, presented by Keeneland and Maker’s Mark . Our bi-monthly LexArts HOP , presented by VisitLEX continues to draw throngs of seasoned and neophyte art fanciers, as do sparkling exhibitions at our LexArts Gallery Series , presented by Independence Bank . Lexington residents and visitors can now spot, track and participate in all things artsy, all around town, thanks to the LexArts app, powered by PNC Bank . The annual LexArts Teacher’s Guide , presented by Stock Yards Bank , chock full of the annual events and activities of our funded organizations, is a handy resource guide for educators planning arts activities.

And our ongoing collaboration with Keeneland and Maker’s Mark – three annual signature bottle issues with artist-created labels – forges a link between the arts and two legendary Bluegrass icons.
