Promoting the value of the arts and arts education for all Kentuckians

New from KFTA

Show Your Support for Kentucky Arts with the New Arts Special License Plate

Arts Change Lives. Yes, they do, and now you can spread that message with the NEW Kentucky Arts Special License Plate. The plate is now available for order online at drive.ky.gov and your county clerk's office. A portion of each sale goes to KFTA to continue our arts advocacy efforts.


Thank you for attending Kentucky Arts Day!

Arts supporters from across the state came to Kentucky's Capitol Jan. 10 to speak out for the arts. After a morning of visiting legislators, attendees gathered in the Rotunda for the introduction of the new Arts Special License Plate and to hear updates on the arts in Kentucky. The day concluded with a reception and a performance by the Bryan Station Student String Quartet on the Mezzanine.

   


       

       





Is 45th Place Good Enough for Kentucky Arts? There's Still Time to Speak Out!

The 2024 Legislative Session is a budget year and KFTA urges all arts supporters to encourage their state Senators and Representatives to support the arts! You can go see them in person (appointments required), email or call. 

KFTA is advocating for increased funding for Kentucky's state arts agency, the Kentucky Arts Council. Current funding is only 40 cents per capita (45th in the nation) and the agency's funding is lower than it was in 1987! 

Additional information about the funding and contacting your legislators is available in the Advocacy Toolkit.
