Thank you so much for your support of KMAC. You have made it possible for us to connect over 30,000 visitors each year with art and creative practice. Whether it's the thousands of school children in the region that benefit from our art education in the museum and in their schools, or the families and individuals coming through our doors to learn about and be with art –KMAC is helping to keep our downtown a vital hub of creative energy. As you probably know, arts and cultural institutions are in trouble financially. Though KMAC receives only a small amount through the Kentucky Arts Council, and nothing from our city,  the federal government’s lack of support and understanding of the crucial nature of our work has a trickle down effect. Fewer resources going to health human services - food, clothing, shelter - means we all are opening our wallets to more essentials - and art is getting bypassed. We, at KMAC, believe art is essential. It is around us and part of us to the point that it is hard to separate it from day to day to living. ART enriches our lives in many ways, acting as a tool for self expression, cultural preservation and social commentary. It fosters creativity, enhances education and contributes to our intellectual and emotional development. ART plays a significant
role in shaping our cultural identity and promoting social change.
