Performing Arts

The performing arts are a cornerstone of arts and culture in the Louisville area. In order to better understand the wants and needs of the performing arts community a focus group for actors, directors, producers, stage managers, writers, and anyone else in the performing arts community was held on April 9th at Highview Arts Center, and was attended by over 15 local members of the performing arts community.

Some of the challenges and needs we heard were:

  • lack of a centralized arts resource website

  • loss of key support organizations

  • decreasing venue availability & affordable venue scarcity

  • financial constraints

  • limited press, recognition, and reviews

Ideas presented include:

  • re-establish a centralized online resource

  • leverage existing organizations and networks

  • increase affordable venue options

  • improve marketing and media connections

  • foster networking and opportunities

  • explore underutilized spaces

  • learn from successful models

  • more metro support (financial & otherwise)
