Welcome to The Living Arts & Science Center (LASC) was created as a not-for-profit organization in 1968 to “provide creative and unique opportunities for exploration and education in the arts and sciences.” In these 42 years, the LASC has not only moved with the times but has become a trusted creative resource and a stimulating force that makes Central Kentucky a better place. Each year, the LASC presents an extensive and diverse array of programming including:
Seven to nine art exhibits of original work by local and regional artists; Performances and workshops with local and regional musicians, storytellers and puppet companies; Free community arts programs provided to numerous social service agencies and neighborhood and community centers;
Discovery Night programs featuring guest artists and scientists sharing their work and collections; and Free arts activities at
community events such as Arbor Day at the Arboretum, MayFest, the High Hope
Steeplechase, the Latino Festival, the Lexington Christmas Chorus, the Roots and Heritage Festival,
and at our own Family Fun Day at the LASC. The Living Arts & Science Center is located just 3 ½ blocks from Main Street in the Kinkead House, a beautiful 1847 home listed on the National Register for Historic Places. We enjoy 1 ½ lively acres in our urban setting that includes a waterfall and stream system with native Kentucky plantings, a butterfly garden and children’s garden, an outdoor classroom and several works of public art created by local artists and community members. Ample off-street parking is located directly in front of our building.
