Arts Council of Northeastern Kentucky - Welcome

Area Art Facilities

Paramount
Arts Center
The theater, originally constructed in 1931 as a movie palace, has been renovated and expanded to become Eastern Kentucky's premier showcase for the performing arts.

The old G.C. Murphy building in Ashland has been converted to house studios of regional artists.

Bringing the Arts to Life!

	Melodies and Masterpieces The Arts Council sponsors numerous concerts throughout the year. Our traditional music series runs the gamut from gospel to jug band music, with a little bit of everything in between added to the mix. In the past we've hosted free concerts in Ashland's Judd Plaza during summer months. Click here for the latest M & M information
	Visual Arts The Arts Council seeks to encourage and promote the work of visual artists in Northeastern Kentucky.
	Education Programs The Arts Council is deeply committed to enhancing the educational experiences of young people in our area. We recently partnered with the Highlands Museum and Discovery Center to present the "Every Child is an Artist" program.
	Art and Healthcare Partnership The Arts Council is joining the Paramount and other area arts organizations to bring art to hospital patients and nursing home residents, and the Tri-State Area Foundation has provided funding for four arts carts.
	The Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Commerce Cabinet, provides operational support funding for Arts Kentucky with state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

The Arts Council of Northeastern Kentucky receives funding and support from the Kentucky Arts Council.

The Arts Council also receives funding and support from the Foundation for the Tri-State Community.
