Thank You
Thank you to the Boyle County Performing Arts Center for their generous donation of materials supporting our free Mini Makers program for children ages 0–5.
Because of their generosity, we were able to create crafts that celebrate the importance of family. This has been a fitting focus for November, which was recognized as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
If you or your organization would like to sponsor crafts, snacks, or a specific program (Mini Makers, Lunch with the Arts, Memory Café), please reach out to our Program & Events Manager, Remonica Conner, at remonica@artcenterky.org
Give the Gift of Creativity
Consider supporting the Art Center this holiday season by giving the gift of creativity to everyone on your list!
We have unique, handmade gifts created by local artists in our gift shop, and gift cards you can use in our Art Studio, Gift Shop, and for our programs, too.
Send an eGift Card right to someone’s inbox with just a few clicks!
eGift Cards are available for Murrini Café as well!
