Mission Statement

We contribute to the overall health and well-being of our community by generating resources for, investing in, and supporting our local arts, artists, and arts organizations.

About This Cause

At Fund for the Arts, we believe that art is a right, not a privilege, because art is a fundamental expression of the human condition. Founded in 1949, the Fund for the Arts (FFTA) is one of the two oldest United Arts Funds in the country. FFTA supports, promotes and develops arts, artists, and arts organizations to help create a healthy and vibrant community for all. Since our founding we have raised over a quarter billion dollars that have directly and indirectly benefitted millions of people and scores of organizations in our community. Louisville’s arts scene rivals those of the nation’s most renowned cities. The community boasts a vibrant visual arts scene plus major professional companies in five resident performing arts categories—a claim only two other peer cities, and only 13 cities nationally, can make. At the Fund for the Arts, we envision a healthy and vibrant community where everyone embraces the art that exists in our lives every day, everyone contributes to the well-being of our arts community, and it is understood that everyone belongs to the arts community.
