Our mission is to engage the community in participation in the arts and sciences through education, discovery, exploration, and creativity.

OUR STORY

Our Programs

The Living Arts & Science Center programs are hands-on and interactive instruction in arts and science directly from professional educators and active artists and scientists. Activities include collaborative experiences for the community, educational programs in schools, community centers, attractions and other venues as well as free programming for all members of the Central Kentucky community.

The LASC also offers education tailored to special needs, at-risk and under-served children and adults. The staff and board of directors support this mission by maintaining high ethical standards and efficient oversight of the LASC.

The LASC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
