Welcome

ELEVATOR Artist Resource a hub for the creators of our community to access resources, professional development, and promotional tools to elevate their economic growth and community engagement. By helping individual artists have a collective voice to advocate for their interests and helping to remove barriers to access, ELEVATOR empowers our creative community to find sustainability in their practice and in their careers – in any discipline.

Program Overview:

ELEVATOR Artist Resource will:

Create new resources & opportunities for individual artists and increase their access to those already in place.

Increase local, regional, even global awareness & access to artists in the Greater Louisville community and leverage our network to promote and advocate for the unique, diverse talent here.

Promote a deep sense of connection, collaboration, and intersectional engagement by breaking down silos and encouraging new, interesting collaboration & networking opportunities.

Better prepare artists to articulate and apply their distinctive competencies in a variety of community & business contexts, leading to more sustainable practices and careers as artists.

Encourage innovation & engagement in local organizations and businesses through meaningful collaborations and projects with artists, and through the development of artists & creative professionals already on their teams.
