Fund for the Arts

Today my Grandma and I went downtown to the Brown Theatre to attend the kick-off art showcase and lunch for the 2011 Fund for the Arts campaign.  We saw a short ballet, opera, musical and orchestra performance.  It was a fun hour of awesome performing arts!


The Brown Theatre is a georgeous theatre in downtown Louisville that originally opened on October 5, 1925 and was acquired by the Fund for the Arts in 1997.

"The Fund for the Arts is the oldest united arts fund in the country and has raised over $157 million since its establishment in 1949. Today the Fund provides financing, facilities and administrative support for twenty-seven area arts groups and programs."
