The arts aren’t just about paintbrushes, dance shoes, or instruments—they’re about creativity, self-expression, and confidence. Giving kids opportunities to explore the arts helps them develop problem-solving skills, imagination, and a sense of community.

Here in Louisville, we’re lucky to live in a city overflowing with culture. From colorful murals to inspiring sculptures, creativity is all around us. Encouraging your child to take part in the arts allows them to not only appreciate this vibrant city but also to become part of it.

Below, you’ll find a list of lessons and classes available for Louisville kiddos, organized into three groups: Visual Arts, Performance Arts, and Musical Arts. Whether your child loves to paint, act, sing, or play an instrument, there’s a space waiting for them to shine.
