The selected organization will have a strong background in music and arts, and a shared passion for education, creativity, and community development, and will provide music and arts services to the Russell and surrounding neighborhoods.

The process of developing our Comprehensive Cultural Plan is underway. This is the opportunity to shape the future of the city’s vibrant and arts and culture scene.
To gather valuable insights and ensure that the plan reflects the diverse perspectives of the community, the city is inviting all residents to participate in a public survey. The survey will remain open through Spring 2025, and can be accessed online at LouisvilleCreatesPlan.com.
The Arts and Culture Plan will serve as a roadmap for the city's arts and culture initiatives, guiding investments, partnerships, and programming. It will address key areas such as:
-
Accessibility: Ensuring that arts and cultural experiences are accessible to all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic status or physical abilities.
-
Equity: Promoting diversity and inclusion in the arts and culture sector, ensuring that all voices are represented.
-
Economic Impact: Supporting the growth of the local arts economy and its contribution to the city's overall prosperity.
-
Public Engagement: Fostering opportunities for public participation in arts and cultural activities.
The city encourages all residents to take the survey and share their thoughts on the future of arts and culture in Louisville.
